Vorige week zaterdag kreeg koningin van de ring Ronda Rousey een paar ferme tikken van haar sterke tegenstander Holly Holm. Binnen no-time ging Rousey de hele wereld over als loser én werd ze op ongeveer iedere site in de zeik genomen. Met name het feit dat ze vooraf opschepte dat ze onverslaanbaar was. Niet dus. Al eerder had ze woorden gewisseld met de mannelijke kampioen, Floyd Mayweather. En waar je zou verwachten dat Floyd haar zou uithonen meldde hij dit:
“I don’t think it’s cool how everyone is trolling her on social media. Certain things you have to learn. People will love you on Friday and then Sunday morning, it’s nothing but negative comments and people making jokes and people making fun about you, which I don’t think is cool. I’ve never been on the other side, so I don’t know how it feels. I’m pretty sure she’s a very, very strong person, but we still have to take into consideration that she has feelings,” Mayweather explained.
“Everything happens for a reason. This was already written. Listen, if God says, ‘In Floyd’s career, I don’t want him to lose,’ you know what? I wasn’t going to lose. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t took a loss before. I’m not talking about boxing; I’m just talking about life. When you lose a loved one, that’s taking a loss. I think that everything is just a learning experience. In due time, she’ll be able to bounce back and make some noise again in mixed martial arts.”
