Like me, I think that I'm a better person now as far as maturing because I've grown mentally. I just really look at life totally different as I get older. Even with my children, everybody worry about having children that look good instead of worrying about having a child that's healthy and smart. I think in a black household, they think that beating a child, that's the only discipline. I never had to whoop my child. I communicate with my children because I was a child that was beaten by my father and I was scared to go to my dad and communicate with him about a lot of things that was going on in my life. I was too scared to talk to him about it. It was a lot of drastic situations that I wanted to tell my dad about, but I was too scared. I thought I was going to get beat or get whooped. That's why I don't beat or whoop my children because I want them to be able to come to me and be able to communicate and talk to me about anything in life. Everything is a learning experience.

I saw a post on another forum:
"No idea why she didn't clinch, and try to throw".
"Amanda never gave her a chance to. She was eating full force shots to the face with no head movement, her head never moving off the center line. Amanda is a black belt in BJJ, brown belt in judo. Her grappling is good enough to keep Ronda off her when the striking differential is that drastic. Ronda's striking defense isn't good enough to allow her to even get to her grappling anymore. She's basically Royce Gracie with tits".
Rousey got too "full of herself", now the entire internet is laughing at her. That has to be a tough thing to go through in life.. Being on top of the world, then being the punchline (no pun intended) to everyone's jokes/memes/etc after having lost so devastatingly.
The same thing happened to Conor when he lost to Nate.. I mean props for moving up so much in weight but, if he's the king he should have been able to beat Nate. He smartened up and moved back down in weight, lol.
I guess that's one thing that always impressed me about Mayweather Jr.. He loved playing the villain role because he knows it sells & made him tons of money, yet he was able to back it up every fight & not let the 'weight of his words/actions' collapse on him. I'd have rather him not played the villain, i'm just impressed by his ability to disappoint the "haters" every time he fought.. That's incredibly impressive. Everyone who tries to imitate him eventually fails miserably. He was never really one to not touch gloves or do anything dirty in a fight - unless you did something dirty to him.. So I guess that showed his true colors in the ring.
Remember when Victor Ortiz head butt Floyd, crazy dirty.. then he apologized, Floyd accepted it.. Then he tried to give him a hug when the fight was back on and Floyd KTFO'd him???????? LMFAO.
That "not touching gloves" nonsense etc is what made me instantly turn on Rousey.. She damaged her own image but wasn't able to back it up .. that's the worst.
