(NOV 15)  When it was announced that UFC fighter Rhonda Rousey was featured on the cover of RING MAGAZINE, in the January 2016 issue, boxing fans, including WBAN was incensed, as we had so many excellent top female boxers to choose from---not to mention the fact our GOLD MEDAL winner in the OLYMPICS, Claressa Shields could have been featured on the cover.

HOLLY HOLM, a multi-world champion in women's boxing, who was set to fight Rousy did not make the cover even though by all respects WAS A FEMALE BOXER which would have seemed to have been more appropriate on a BOXING MAG.

Regardless, anyone who knows boxing, women's boxing, knew that Rousey was not in the same class of fighters as HOLLY HOLM, and yet the hype continued at a nauseating pace----until finally November 14th, Holm entered the cage and gave Rousy a 101 boxing lesson in the sport, among all the other techniques she used.

 

The weigh-in was amusing, some saying Holm looked scared---are they serious? "That fake sweet act is all fake" quoting Rousey...Apparently Rousy did not know who she was tangling with!

Anyone who knew how Holm conducts herself before fights would know that #1 Holm is not afraid of anyone---they mix up being "scared" to having class inside and outside the ring.

 

WBAN has covered countless Holly Holm fights, in fact Holm winning three WBAN independent world title belts along with other belts that were from federations in those fights.

WBAN would like to give a HUGE "shout out" to Holly Holm, and her team for this spectacular win, and ah HUGE "shout out" to OSCAR DE LA HOYA and RING MAGAZINE, that boxing fans would like to see HOLLY HOLM on the cover of that magazine.
