Layla McCarter says she would beat Ronda Rousey with her eyes closed, wants Cecilia Braekhus

By Jody Kohn

For those who were not already aware of multiple time world champion Layla McCarter, her recent comments about MMA star Ronda Rousey have certainly introduced her to many more.

When it was recently suggested that Rousey could walk into boxing and immediately be a world champion, it obviously pissed of many top fighters, and rightfully so.  McCarter is certainly no pushover, and for anyone to believe they could walk right in and defeat her is preposterous in her mind.  She has been more than willing to share her thoughts, as well as extend an invitation to Rousey to back up the words of her camp with her fists.

Besides the white hot topic that is Ronda Rousey, McCarter also talked about a fight that is much more likely.  Cecilia Braekhus is a fight that she believes would be of great fan interest, and now because of some moves on the side of Braekhus, it may be a possibility.  If that could be made, it would be big for women’s boxing, as the sport has been suffering from lagging fan interest for years.  The biggest reason for that is probably the lack of marquee matchups, and this contest would certainly fit the bill.

Check out the videos below to hear all that McCarter has to say about Rousey, Braekhus and more.
