Fight Hub TV: What do you think Ronda has to work as far as her boxing?
Freddie Roach: All she has is a ground game right now. She really needs to learn how to fight standing up and go against a lefty, a southpaw. And she had no idea or no strategy of how to deal with that…It was embarrassing a little bit. No one ever taught her anything about boxing it looked like.
