Should Mixed Boxing be permitted?
I know girls are allowed to wrestle boys but what about boxing? Should Mixed Boxing be permitted?
My view: I'm gonna say no. Why? I don't think women are on the level of men in striking. Whilst wrestling is more even I have to disagree on Boxing. Men carry more muscle mass on them and upper body strength which can be used as an advantage in Boxing. I think men are better suited to the striking game. Just my two cents. |

Re: Should Mixed Boxing be permitted?
So far as I know, mixed boxing is not a sanctioned sport. Mixed wrestling is, at least in high school, mostly because there is not a sufficient number of women's teams.
Perhaps someone can shed more light on this. |

Re: Should Mixed Boxing be permitted?
My heart says no, but my head says, yes IF the woman really wants to. I can't honestly think of a good reason why mixed boxing matches should take place.

Re: Should Mixed Boxing be permitted?
I like to think of myself as an expert when talking about boxing.
Women can compete with men at boxing up to 140lbs any higher in weight class and the gap in the competition becomes wider. A world class boxer in any weight class would beat a woman with ease. |

Call me old-fashioned, but my heart is against women boxing, because of the cumulative damage on a female's features. My head however, says if there's some Chris Cyborg type, who wants to trade punches with a guy her own size, she should be able to do so in a free society. There have been mixed kick-boxing matches, haven't there?

Punching power comes mostly from the legs, not the upper body

Sparring on the other hand, can be pretty good between a wider range of weight classes regardless of gender. I've sparred with "ziggy" and "malibu". I'm much bigger than both of them, but the action was still intense. I held back on intensity. It really became an issue of skills. Back then, I think Malibu was a better boxer than I but Ziggy and I were close. After years of training, I think I'd could work either of them over, but it still would be great sparring. |
