So he's lost his mind here: Rousey’s coach: Holm wasn’t getting the better of Ronda in the striking | The MMA Community Forum
But check this article and lets look at this game plan:
Coach: Holly Holm is 'going to be running' against Ronda Rousey - MMA Fighting
"Why I had Ronda box from the beginning more instead of kicking was because we know you can box your way into a clinch much easier than kicking your way into a clinch," Tarverdyan said. "We know in boxing, they clinch up also, but nobody is afraid of being taken down. Holly is not gonna try to box with us. Because if Holly is in a boxing distance, then that clinch happens. Holly doesn't want that to happen. Holly is going to be running. Holly is going to try to keep it at a kicking distance. We're going to be ready for everything."
"We know she moves," Tarverdyan said. "She's gonna be moving in both directions. We're aware of that. The distance is going to be a bit different, so we've gotta be sharp on our feet, meaning that it's not about the kicking, just quick, explosive feet, so we can get her where we want her to be. And as we're pressing we have to be aware of those counterpunches or counter kicks coming in."
"Both of them are tough," the coach said. "Holly Holm is a different fighter. Holly Holm likes to pick her shots. Holly Holm likes to not be all over the place. She's a bit cautious of not being taken down. She's a bit more polished. She knows how to shoot a bit precise. We have to be careful of that. She knows how to counterpunch better. Miesha does not know how to counterpunch. She swings her head down when she comes forward, but does she know how to counterpunch? Absolutely not. Which is nothing taken away from her, because we have a lot of champions out there that don't know how to counterpunch."
While Holm has been a boxer since she was a teenager, Tarverdyan actually believes Rousey would defeat her in a straight up boxing match. He swears by Rousey's improvement in that part of the MMA game.
"If the question is, does Ronda need to prove that she's a boxer?" Tarverdyan said. "I wish [Holm] does box with us, because Ronda could box. Ronda has knockout punching power in both hands. It doesn't matter what hand she touches you with -- it's dangerous. She's proved that with the last fight."
That said, Tarverdyan is not too confident that Holm will make this a boxing match despite her prowess.
"To prove a point is she gonna go out there and box with us, Holly?" he said. "I wish she does that and Ronda can show her skills. But I doubt it. Regardless of what she does, how much she runs, we know that she can't hide."
So basically, Holly's movement is the only thing he was right about. She's gonna move a lot. Great job trainer man.
