Interesting comment from a female boxer about sparring men

[commander]

what do you do when encountering a man who will not practice/spar with you or any woman, using unwelcome body to body contact rules to get out of it? I have known several who have. and of the men who lost to you and feeling humiliated left and never
returned from loss of self esteem, among other reasons

we all of boys who will not compete against wrestling girls rather that face the chance humiliation of losing. and when some have, ran out of the competition crying never to return to the sport. some never return to school not wanting to look into the eyes of anyone knowing they lost to a girl.

Well, in few cases even if he goes out of some place he'll be recognized yet. For example, the case of Wyatt Sellers who lost against Amanda Leve and other few ones that went viral.

There's also a story about the UFC fighter Paige van Zant supposedly going into an all out sparring war with some 15 year old Thai fighter and she ended up ground and pounding him into a bloody mess. I don't remember the details but Urijah Faber mentioned it once. The reason why they went so hard was because the Thai fighter didn't want to lose to a girl.

Video of him talking about it here:

So at least her head was in the right place. But Faber’s buy-in wasn’t all there until one particular day of sparring at then gym.

“She got into a heated fistfight with a kid that we had on the team,” he said. “He was a little Brazilian kid; he was just right about to be 13 or 14, and he was a stud kickboxer. And those two went at it, like a war. He pissed her off, and she pissed him off, and next thing I know, she’s dropping knees on his head, and we had to break it up.

“I’m like, alright, this girl’s here to play.”

That looks like a comment that was written by a guy.

That definitely smells fishy. Paige van Zant can't fight for shit.
