Rogan: Rousey would have advantage over Mayweather
Joe Rogan: “She keeps her chin tucked, hands high and gets ahold of you. There is going to be a lot of things she [Ronda Rousey] is doing that he doesn’t understand.”
In a radio interview early last month, Ronda Rousey was asked how she would fair in a fight with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Rousey was playful in her response, but confident she could win if the fight made it to the ground.
Today, UFC commentator Joe Rogan joined ESPN’s SportsNation and was posed the same question, and his response was in favor of Rousey:
“It is all about how much time Floyd has to prepare, because he will really have to work on his takedown defence. That would be the big thing. If Ronda got a clinch on him, it is not just about worrying about being taken down to the ground; it is worrying about knees to the body. It is worrying about her manipulating his body in ways that he doesn’t understand.”
“It is too hard to avoid the clinch. If you watch a Floyd Mayweather fight, they very rarely end in a one-punch knockout. He has brittle hands. His hands break. You are talking about small gloves where hands are going to break even easier. She keeps her chin tucked, hands high and gets ahold of you. There is going to be a lot of things she is doing that he doesn’t understand.”
