    ....anybody else done the same ? I've got zero interest in womens boxing and nobody I know who's into boxing cares about women's fights. I'll be back to BT in 15 mins when I assume Adams will have won.

    Fair play to Warren and Hearn for signing women and giving them good opportunities. Regardless of your opinion, they're still training hard and taking risks by fighting

    I don't doubt anybody's bravery or right to fight but I've just got zero interest in seeing women fight and the - admittedly dwindling - people I know who care about boxing don't give a monkeys about female boxing.

    No not interested in the slightest, it wouldn't be bad if she was a looker like Gina Carano, but sadly she looks like a 16yo boy.

    Got to agree , I've no interest , bordering on I don't like it , , Woman wants to fight , just get married . . Hearns is giving them a chance because he see's MONEY . tapping into the women is a big market , if he can create the interest

    I personally found it repulsive to see a muscular, extremely experienced woman take advantage of a feminine looking 18 year-old kid who was clearly put in there to get beat up. If this is what Adams is going to do for the foreseeable, let it be away from the BT cameras.

    I am not very interested in women's boxing because there seems to be no depth to women's boxing, there is either high level or low level, there seems no inbetween and match making suffers and therefore the fights I see are rarely competitive.

    Maybe it's me, maybe if I studied women's boxing a little more and watched more of it then I might understand it a little more but the fights seem so one sided unless it's a world title on the line and then it's a little better.

    Taylor and Adams are good boxers with good skills. For that reason if I'm watching a fight card and they're on I'll watch their fights and enjoy them.

    From a technical point of view Taylor is a fantastic boxer. She has every punch in the book.

    BT's biggest ( only?) star is Adams. IF Fury is back and on their cards then its him but at the moment shes the name that will get them any press.

    No different to Tony Dosh etc bashing up no hopers before his last fight - that is equally disgraceful and disgusting.

    Even ignoring the terrible quality, watching women fight is absolutely disgusting and repulsive on every level.
