Boxing fans, what did you think of the MMA fight between Ronda Rousey vs Holly Holm(fomer 3 division world boxing champion)?

Question

As a long time boxing fan who also appreciates MMA for what it is, I thought this was the greatest thing I've ever witnessed(to see a boxer just outright demolish a Judoka MMA fighter who's lacks class and respect for most of her opponents. Goes to show how helpful boxing can really be in MMA. I honestly got fed up with the hype over Ronda Rousey and our fellow former world female boxing champ put in end to the overhyped BS of the loudmouthed blowhard RR. Sure, Floyd Mayweather is also a blowhard and still never suffered his loss(and unfortunately never will) but at least he shows respect to all his opponents after beating them.

Holm's showed boxing in very important when used correctly.Footwork can beat everything. These meat heads said look what happened to Toney, well Toney is 44 years old, and 60 lbs overweight, and is way worst off then Mosley.Look what happened when a old MMA Sylvia fought a old Mercer. Sylvia got clobbered with one punch. Boxing is as effective as stand up, as any on planet. Also it shows the competition level for Rousey. UFC was basically grabbing cans off the street for her hyping them. She was a paper champ. Holm's fought all the best women fighters on planet. Also now some people can see the difference between a boxers punches , and MMA, because majority were saying Rousey was a punching machine, and she got absolutely schooled

I don't know man...It was brutal the way that Ronda Rousey beat up Holly Holm's fists with her face.

Seriously though...I totally agree with you. I could watch that fight over and over.

I think that all you need is  basic defensive grappling to avoid takedowns and submissions...striking is the main way to beat someone. Notice how Rhonda, the jiu jitsu gold medalist, really had little chance to submit Holly the boxer striker??? Eventually gettin KO'd. 
The best style is still striking in a 1 on 1 fight, as long as you keep floating like a butterfly n sting like a bee.

I think there were so many loopholes in Rousey's stand up game and Holm exposed her.  I believe Holly had Rousey's numbers.
