I have no problem with them doing it, but it’s horrendous to watch, I’d rather watch two journeyman with losing records fighting. Even Katie Taylor, Claressa Shields and whatnot....abysmal techique. Would still kick my butt of course.
This thread made me curious so I spoke with one of the female boxers from my gym last night and she said that she has completely moved on to MMA and because she can't get any boxing matches. She told me that the competition pool and pay is terrible and that she has twice driven long distances for a fight only to learn when she got there that her opponent didn't show or pulled out last minute. Women fighters make way more money in MMA then boxing. It's shame this girl can't find anyone to box. She is really talented and is in the gym every day working hard.
I'm not much a fan, I find a lot of female fighting being between a muscular more athletic woman and a stout, butchy woman whose flabby and strong for women but isnt that athletic or explosive
