    Any time I see a woman's match on the card I just mute it and watch something else. For one thing, I just don't like seeing women fight in general. And secondly, it's pretty much like watching Paulie fight Paulie with all the chance of devastating knockouts being of that chance level.

    They have been KO`s in women`s boxing and it`s getting better and better like women`s MMA fighting.

    I'm really mostly unaware it exists until I see some of the threads on this forum.
    There appears to be a few people here who follow it.
    I have no interest or knowledge of it.

    Boxing is a hard tough game though, so I have respect for anyone who trains hard and tries hard at it.
    As a fan/spectator of professional boxing though, I watch boxing, which is in my view, and always was, a man's sport.

    It might get better but it will never be anywhere near the men. It's just biology.

    Little to NO interest in it at all.

    The levels are very poor compared to the men's side and almost nobody covers it (For good reason).

    Clarissa could get a decent following but even she's relatively unknown.

    Don't care for it, wish they would not be on big fight undercards taking up space.

    Disagree, and I'd provide Ronda Rousey, albeit a different sport, climbing to the top of the UFC, being in fights that hooked hardcores and casuals, as the example women have set - the 'biology' is irrelevant.

    The very same can happen in Boxing, just needs that one woman to come through, think she will in the next 5 - 10 years, hopefully sooner.

    Oh and you missed a really good fight recently in Persoon V Taylor! Check it out?

    I'm all for them doing it, hell if I ever have a daughter she'll Damn sure give it a try. That being said the fights bore me to tears, punching power isn't there and most fights are walk overs for the few truly talented fighters.

    I don't mind wah-men boxing and don't mind wah-men watching other wah-men boxing.

    With that said, stop putting these angry looking 12 year old boys on men's shows because we don't want to see this crap at all. Why the hell are some of these wah-men being billed as "co-main event" on some shows? By that logic, Joe Blogs should be "co-main event" next to GGG or Canelo....

    In recent years, with it becoming an olympic sport, the standard has improved dramatically.

    The likes of Taylor and Shields are a different breed to the previous generations.

    Obviously it won't be as explosive or basically as good as elite mens boxing to watch, but it is more interesting than before

    Also, if they lengthened the rounds to 3 mins, you might actually see more stoppages

    It depends on the fight...I enjoyed Hammer vs Shields and Ive enjoyed many female MMA fights. It just depends on the skill set of the athlete..
