“f**, d-bag, motherf*****” isn’t both gendered and denigrating? Oh, I see.

Or maybe bc she pretended to come out against Mayweather to make a stand against domestic violence while she had no problems posing for pictures with and getting endorsed by Mike Tyson and is currently hitched to a MMA fighter who has been accused of domestic violence by his estranged wife (including pictures of her…

Only if I would see myself as the arbiter of who or what is worth living for 7 billion people. So, the answer is no.

With a male fighter it would be f**, d-bag, motherf*****. How is that better?

Isn’t the internet short for ‘people posting mean things’ anyway?

Lost a step? He had won 7 out of 9 previous fights and one of those losses was a ridiculous decision against Timothy Bradley, a fight that Pacman actually won. The only real loss during that period came against Marquez (by ko), a fighter that the ‘coward’ Mayweather had easily beaten 3 years prior. How do you wait…

Hand picked? Pacman, Maidana, Canelo, Guerrero, Marquez, Hatton , de la Hoya to name just a few. Show me the ones he has ducked in his division. Who should he have fought? Klitschko?

and by ‘mansplained’ you mean that you, as a woman, naturally know more about boxing/MMA than I as a man could possibly understand, hence ‘mansplaining’? That is not what mansplaining means, but keep doing what you’re doing.

“She goes into that fight coached well and fights as the world-class Judoka she is, Holly is tapping inside of the first round.”

For the first time in history an older athlete (Mayweather) somehow managed to ‘duck’ his opponent (Pacman), until he got too old. So, being 38 yo means you gain an unfair advantage over your 36 yo opponent, as far as aging is concerned.

Ali had his unbeaten record broken by Joe Frazier, himself an all time great, after coming back from a 3 year suspension losing in a close fight on points. Rousey was exposed by someone, who got into MMA full time in 2013 and had won her previous UFC fights in less than convincing fashion. That makes all the insane…

You want to compare tennis, with hundreds and hundreds of matches with a career in boxing/MMA?

“All the best occasionally lose.”

Can we get back to the point where almost every Deadsping commenter was absolutely sure that Rousey would destroy Mayweather in an MMA fight, bc she would just threw him to the ground and submit him in no time? That sounds funny in retrospect, doesn’t it?

None of this. For the first time, she met an opponent who had a gameplan and the ability to follow said gameplan. Holm forced her into a kickin/boxing match and exposed Rousey as the one dimensional fighter she is. Knocking out a living punching bag like Beth Correa is something entirely different than duking it out…

“Right now, relative to the competition, she is maybe the greatest fighter alive.”

Definitely too soon, way too soon.

That was after the game. Part of the crowd had already left, then there were rumours that it wasn’t safe outside, so the rest of the audience huddled on the infield.

The majority of the spectators sensed very quickly that something was wrong. I watched the game on tv and the whole crowd went silent right after the first explosion. There was no smoke in the stadium, so it was obvious that the explosion had taken place nearby outside the stadium. Just a few minutes after the first…

Multiple, seemingly coordinated attacks, using both guns and explosives, taking hostages in a public building. Who else would it be in this day and age? How many more of these do you need worldwide, before you acknowledge that there is a seedy underbelly of extremely violent terror withing the muslim community. Right…
