But if we’re getting Ronda coming back with a half-ass mentality, kind of like ‘I just feel like I have to do this one time,’ and then she’s got a lot of ring rust and maybe she’s still punch-shy since she hasn’t fought since Holly, and we all saw that obviously Amanda has incredible power with her right hand — so if she hits Ronda with one of those, I could see it being a huge problem for Ronda....

If you want, you can still (at the time of writing) get this model for a little cheaper. £39/ $39 but that’s not much of a saving. The major difference, of course, is that the Dot does not have the large speaker of the Echo. It still has a built-in speaker, but of course doesn’t offer the same volume or quality of the big Echo. The other difference is that the Dot doesn’t have a rotating ring on top....
