As for Holm-Sanders II. I was shocked that Sanders could not get to Holm in the first bout. Holm is a good defensive counter puncher but almost as boring to watch as former male heavy champ, Chris Byrd. Sanders has the punching power to put Holly away, IF she can catch her. Mary Jo Sanders may have punching power but has not demonstrated it in a long time. Her last stoppage of a skilled opponent was 8/2004 against Lisa Holewyne. She did TKO Iva Weston 2/2006 but Weston's record is padded. The remaining stoppages were against inactive or lesser opponents prior to Holyeyne. Team Holm neutralized Sanders' power by punching once or twice then tying up Sanders before she could counter. It's no surprise to me Sanders did not stop Holm. Holm was the active fighter, fighting regularly, while Sanders really wasn't that active. That could have been the difference..

As for Mia St John, she was an overchiever. Her talent didn't come naturally. No blazing handspeed, not much power. She didn't beat the best, but she had the heart and the work ethic in the gym to at least hang with the best. All in all, I think she was good for the sport. Non-boxing fans know who she is, and that means she transcended the sport. She fought simply because she loved to fight.
