"I think she’s just brand new at boxing," WBA champ Layla McCarter, told the Guardian. "She’s very good at what she does, but she needs to stay in her lane because boxing takes a lot of experience to reach the top level. She better just stay in her lane because she’s going to get hurt."

"I know [Rousey competing in boxing] would be a disaster for her and I know Dana White would never let that happen."

Similar sentiments were shared by multiple-division boxing champ Amanda Serrano after seeing the Correia fight.

"Her movement is very bad, how she walks into punches and she would get caught," she said. "The girls that she’s fighting, they’ve got limited boxing skills."

"Definitely Rousey’s trainer does not have any knowledge about the sport of boxing," Serrano told a separate outlet in Round by Round Boxing, "Her opponents cannot box and it’s easy to look great... As a boxing point of view, she looked like a rookie amateur fighter, throwing very wide punches with no coordination."

From the outside-looking-in it seems that Edmond Tarverdyan has had great success with Rousey and limited success with other fighters. Guys like Jake Ellenberger who have moved to his gym seem to have regressed.

Rousey's loyalty to Gene LeBell and the Armenians seems unflappable.
