    Watching the Whyte Povetkin card right now and there's the Taylor vs Persoon fight.

    You might call me old school but I find it very hard to watch... Do any of you guys actually enjoy watching women fighting?

    sometimes

    But atomically they are not made to fight like men...

    So the quality of the fights is worse.

    I really used to like Christy Martin. Not so much into it today.

    The problem is not that I don't like women, it is just that I don't hours a day to spend following boxing anymore, so I keep my eye on the heavies, and certain lower-weight fighters that have a buzz on here.

    If I were 16-26 years old again, I would follow everything going on and watch as many cards as possible, men, women, midgets...you name it.

    The pool is pretty shallow, you have elite fighters like Katie and Shields and then the quality drops off a cliff.

    I enjoyed the Taylor/Peerson fight. It was a good clash of styles with a lot of action.

    Katie Taylor can’t punch through a wet paper bag, but she has better skillset than a good amount of male contenders.

    I frequently enjoy female boxing more. The two minute rounds tend to ensure that fights are action packed and while skill levels still need to increase, the fact that females understand that they have to fight whoever is relevant to get paid makes me appreciate them more than the constant ducking that happens at every level of male boxing.

    No. The Povetkin vs Whyte fight showcased what is great about boxing. The ability to end a fight no matter what has gone before. Women do not posses the power to do it. It removes a major element of what makes the sport great.

    Why watch such inferior stuff? It's like watching non league football instead of the Champions League.

    Women's boxing is not boxing.

    Their plans are stupid because there is no power at all in the ring, none, zero. They just walk ahead while eating everything and throwing whatever.

    They eat everything because it doesnt matter if they eat their opponent's best shots, because they are not going to be koed by any shot, the best or the worst shots, it doesnt matter. They cant crack an egg, they just eat everything and nothing matters.

    They throw whatever because they dont care about if they connect good or bad shots, because well, they are not going to KO ****, no matter if they connect good shots or horrible pitpat shots.

    The show is hence disgusting, two tards eating everything and throwing whatever. It's like watching a chimp playing chess.

    But some idiot anywhere has decided that we have to watch this BS, and now they try to force us to do it. Well, they can kiss my hairy ass, I refuse to watch that BS.
