I haven't created that distinction, it's two fundamentally different skillsets. rather, two different manifestations of things like footwork and head movement. IE, slipping a punch to counter is different than slipping a punch to circle out, cutting off angles to pursue an opponent is a different type of footwork than counterpunching. almost every analyst I've read makes the distinction between offensive and defensive skillsets, and it's usually a different subset of statistics.

Ronda has power in her punches, and has some nice followup combinations behind a solid dipping jab. She's not a bad boxer in those regards. but her head is stiff on the center line, she's way too willing to eat punches in order to close distance, and she has no concept of how to stalk an opponent, which is fundamental to her game since she's a natural pressure fighter.

all that to say, she's not a TERRIBLE striker, but she's obviously got a lot of work to do on fundamental skills.
