Holly Holm vertelt over haar desastreuze ‘Kick’

Er was veel om te doen, de trap die Holly Holm in het gevecht met voormalig ‘Queen of the Ring’ Ronda Rousey uitdeelde. Het was de trap die Rousey in 1x vloerde. Met alle gevolgen van dien. Het internet ging los omdat de onverslaanbare Rousey eindelijk verslagen was terwijl ze daarvoor veel ‘trashtalk’ richting Holms adres had. In een interview met GQ Magazine vertelt ze over hoe ze zich voelde op het moment dat ze Rousey vloerde.

“There were a lot of thoughts going through my head in that split second before The Kick. I knew that I had dazed her a little bit with the straight left before, and then we got tied up there. I just wanted to get her off so I could keep striking. But it was a slow motion moment for me. There was a lot of time in my mind. When she went down, as she was getting back up, I knew that it was time to capitalize. A fighter can always recover and you never know what they’re going to come back with. So I just kept telling myself not to kick her too soon, don’t kick her while her hands are on the canvas.”

BAM!
