Re: Should Mixed Boxing be permitted?

Obviously we can atleast insert our opinion. I've boxed for 6 months (I think) so I was just interested in the subject. Yes if she really wants to she SHOULD be allowed, but there is more to it. Girls can get hurt in the striking game against males. Boxing and wrestling are completely different. Just my two cents tho. |

Until that is done, I will settle for saying that there are a lot of videos out there of girls beating boys under competitive conditions, which is frankly amazing when you look at the history of sports between the genders. And also I've seen boys cry after losing to a girl who wrecked his arm up a bit, I think the tears are more to do with the age of the combatants. Quote:

[Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] This girl isn't very happy. That's because men have more muscle mass and bone density. The ref can stop a fight but their are refs that don't do their job properly. And the fight carries on. The ref can stop the fight all he wants girls can still get KO'd by males and taken out. That can do damage. Yes, they are both combat sports. But they are COMPLETELY different. Boxing needs stances, jabs, technique, etc. It's complicated, I'd imagine wrestling is but they are totally different. Can you name a female wrestler that would beat the likes of Mike Tyson? The wrestler doesn't always win. There may be some male wrestlers but can you name a female fighter? |

Re: Should Mixed Boxing be permitted?
@iluvwrestlegirls
Not to get into too much of a flame war, but this is getting a little ridiculous. To say that because you think women can grapple with men that automatically that means they can strike with them, is completely and utterly false. They use totally different muscle groups and require entirely different skillsets. In grappling, women have a huge advantage in flexibility. Anyone who has ever taken a jiu-jitsu class knows what a difference maker that can be. It makes you much harder to submit, and it also makes it easier for you to look for submissions, particularly off your back. Since most women are going to find themselves there do to the strength advantage of their male counterparts anyways, this plays perfectly right into their skillset. But even at that, however, it's still not the norm. It just grabs more attention when men are beaten, just like it would have been in headlines all over the world if Nigeria had beaten the USA at basketball. It's just not expected. But let's transition back to boxing. Do you know what flexibility does in boxing? Almost zero. Do you know what wins boxing matches? Speed, explosiveness, power, and in that order. Women plain and simple just can't compete on the feet at the very highest levels of competition. This is not a sexist viewpoint, it's just a plain fact, and any woman who trains in those disciplines isn't offended by such. It doesn't make them any less skilled - but not knowing your limits is how people get hurt. And at the highest levels, a lot of women would get really and truly hurt. Nobody wants that, and that's why it doesn't happen. |

I am definitely more skeptical of women being as successful in striking than they are in grappling vs males, but my bigger point here is that if there is a woman who feels she wants to disprove that then nobody should have the right to stop her! Women are not so delicate that a proffessional and skilled and confident female fighter would just die after being hit by a gloved male boxer. If she's seriously battered then just referee it properly like you would with a male fighter (maybe even more cautious tbh) Quote:
It is slightly irrelevent, but I like it because it belittles this debate: who cares if women have a disadvantage in striking when they can throw you down and wrap you up in grapples anyway! <3 Last edited by iluvwrestlegirls; 17-Aug-12 at 02:12. |

But as I keep trying to say, if a woman comes along who feels she can overturn that then all power to her! Just as women have shown they can take on men in grappling (which don't get me wrong still totally blows my mind that it is real), they should be allowed to attempt to prove it in boxing also. There will be less women who do it than men because of the science reasons you detailed, but there will be exceptions. Quote:
And hey, if women's flexibility gives them an ADVANTAGE in grappling (which it really is seeming to be the case to me, it can seem impossible to avoid their legs!) then I'd settle for that to counter their disadvantages in striking, especially considering grappling is generally more effective vs striking! Quote:
What if you find a woman with abnormally thick bone density for a woman? What if her striking technique is SO good she generates comparable power to the men? I'd say to her "if you think you can, give it a shot!" and I'd certainly be routing for her. |

Re: Should Mixed Boxing be permitted?
Of course I have a fetish for strong females, so I have a bias in this debate, but I genuinely do believe women should be allowed to do whatever the fuck they want.
