Laila Ali Shades Ronda Rousey, Says She’ll Lose Rematch
“I don’t have anything against MMA fighters”, Mayweather told FightHype.com. “I’ve been on the losing side of a fight, and I wanted the rematch; I wanted to avenge my loss. If you need help as far as with boxing, I’m here to help you”, Mayweather told Fight Hype’s Ben Thompson. Mayweather announced his retirement in September.
“I don’t think she should have a rematch with Holly Holm because I think it could go the same way the second time”, she declared. You do not want your champion sitting home or making a movie, “Roadhouse 2” or whatever Rousey’s going to do, or whatever Rousey’s going to do, or just needs a personal break, which she’s earned.
This hasn’t been the first time that Mayweather has offered Rousey a show of support since her loss to Holm.
Holm emerged victorious by knocking out Rousey in the second round at UFC 193 in Melbourne. The victor Holm is undefeated.
Mayweather’s comments may be surprising for a few since Rousey has had a few choice words for the boxer. “I do feel like I come from a little more humble spot, but that’s just because I don’t ever want to say “I’m this good” or “I’m that” and have something happen and look like a fool”. “Nobody has the right to beat you, well you just got beat b–“. “It was a lot to take in, but those are the kind of fights where a loss is that devastating, but a win is that sweet of a victory”. Ronda Rousey did it better than anybody’s ever done it. The amount of work and the time she put in, how hard she trained, the things that she would do. “‘Preacher’s daughter’ my ass – I see through your fake sweet act now – you’re getting your ass kicked tomorrow, and I’m really going to enjoy the beating I give you #andSTILL”. “It’s all about timing and inches”.
“She will be back, absolutely, she is an wonderful athlete”, he said on Monday. “I’m trying to take this in but this is insane”.
