    As has been stated I think it's actually to their detriment that they don't hit very hard.

    Clarissa Shields is by far the best female boxer and she only has a 16% KO rate. Taking a prolonged beating from her is probably worse for the brain than getting one punched.

    I remember viewing a government sports brain injury forum not that long ago. There were plenty submissions from female boxers as well.
