I'd like to make a further point. How many women can run sub 11 seconds in the 100m? even further, how many white women can run under 11 seconds in 100m. Guys who aren't even sprinters can achieve that goal over and over. you're talking about less than 100 in the world at any given time for the most elite of female athletes, vs god knows how many amateur guys who can do it. Expecting women to compete with men in boxing is sheer madness. |

Re: Should Mixed Boxing be permitted?
I think most would agree that mixed boxing under the current assumptions and rules is just too problematic. In general, women and men of comparable weight are just not well matched strength wise. But how about if there were some other means of matching women with men that they have a good chance of beating? When you get past the weight thing - that's what boxing matches are supposed to be about right? A competition between two comparable fighters, (not a slaughter). So throw out the weight class stuff. Let a bigger stronger woman box a smaller "less strong" guy. Or a man who is otherwise "roughly evenly matched". I'm not saying this would work with professional fighters. But can you see this in a more casual "boxing league" or "boxing club" setting? If you have some fights where the woman wins, you found the formula.

I was never talking about incorporating women into the ranks of men's professional boxing. I was talking about the kind of matches more like smackme and LicensetoKill and even the US Army. Quote:

no Imagine if it happens and as a man who get beat by a woman especially with all that hype. I can not imagine any man wanting to risk that. What if she knocks you out. That's total demasculation.

Unfortunately womens Boxing doesn't get the coverage I'd like to see it get. Here in the UK, it will probably get a little more exposure now that Olympic gold medal winner Nicola Adams is embarking on a professional career. She has signed with Frank Warren promotions and her first fight will be broadcast on BT Sport, the same channel that shows UFC events here. |

Is Claressa Shields still an amateur? She could be the bestest of the best.

I recently posted a video of her getting the better of two male sparring partners in boxing [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] Those guys didn't look untrained at all but ended up getting outmached by her. |
