    I am totally sick of it being chief support for lots of cards these days! They then sell it as a world title fight!

    Shields, Taylor etc I can accept but it feels they are ramming any old crap down our throats now.

    Yeah chief support is the killer, especially if the card is running late. Watching on TV is a perfect example of the emperor's new clothes - nobody is enjoying it but everybody is going along with it as if they are entertained. What I'd give for one commentator or pundit to turn around and tell the truth about what they are watching.

    Comes in handy if you are attending in person though - it's usually around the time you feel like a decent couple of beers before the main event.

    I just can't watch two women punching each other (I'm male btw) same with UFC women's division, I always decide to switch over to something else until it's over.

    I don't think it should be stopped, but perhaps separated from the men's event, mind you they'll be no money in it then and it'll need to be propped up just like the women's premier league and women's NBA.

    Raises the question of what fight or fighters didn't get a payday so the likes of Ebanie Bridges can promote her onlyfans?!? And let's be honest all you Leeds fans out there, you're only turning up to the weigh in for one thing :eeeeek:

    It's the world we live in and it's not going anywhere any time soon.

    Let’s hope they get relegated soon as well.

    A rubbish ten rounder between two also rans as cheif support kills the buzz and leaves things flat for the main event. If it's crap people should boo, they boo during a men's fight if it's crap, gender shouldn't matter. We're going through a phase at the moment where if something isn't white, male and straight you seem to be have to be extra careful about criticising it, if a fight is crap a fight is crap, just say it, it will do more good than harm.

    The absolute top level I can enjoy. But were talking about 6 boxers split a cross all divisions.

    The rest just doesn't do it for me. At most it should be the 1st fight on a TV card

    It's utter shite that shouldn't be anywhere near televised cards. But I would go further and say that grown men who are entertained by watching women fight should be on a register. Something definitely wrong with them.

    Even to the so called high level stuff is laughably bad and white collar standard at best when you compare them to men.

    Here is a clip of Shields vs Marshall as a perfect example.

    hahahahahahahaha.

    Imagine trying to convince yourself and other people that this is good boxing.

    I dont mind the woman's boxing now tbh. Some of the top females are good to watch tbh, Taylor, Serrano, Shields etc are entertaining especially when they have a opponent that's on the level.
    The top girls are good to watch, and the rest, ye some can be bad, and I'd much rather see a good quality male bout over the lower level ladys for sure. But seems to me most of the lady's bouts shouldn't be prime time tv, they should be on the before the bells etc and that's an opinion based on quality of ability, if the ladys were as good as the lads then I'd be happy to watch them on prime slots but atm that's just not the case

    This is a handy clip for the people on here who have started looking back on Adam Smith’s commentary with rose coloured spectacles. Utter garbage and I’ve not even mentioned the ‘ boxing ‘ .

    The question is, would it stand on it's own, not a chance, same as all woman's sport, it's being forced on consumers due to woke nature and currently works out cheap

    I'm all for women boxing. I just have no interest in watching it or paying for it.
