    Yes, Kate Taylor is Irish not British but this is the right section as it is in the British sphere of boxing.

    Not a fan of women's boxing and I hope she doesn't headline that card because there are two decent fights on it.

    She's a class act, Clarissa Shields from America has turned over 2, if those 2 can't raise the profile of women's boxing in the pro game then there is no hope

    Please God no. Women fighting is a terrible spectacle and anyone who likes seeing it has something wrong with them. Leave that **** to the inbred, Ronda Rousey lovers who watch WMMA.

    Never enjoyed a women's boxing match so far but I've not seen that many. Let's see how Matchroom present this. With all due respect, I don't want her getting the Connor Benn treatment

    Not a fan of women's boxing and not really sure there is much of a market for it.

    I just don't get how everyone seems to be warming to this. I just feel it's unnatural for the women and the people watching. Plus the biggest point goes for women's sport in general. They're just not as good as the men. Fact. A good man is always better than a good woman it's just biology. So if you already have the men I just don't see he need for the women. I went to the ABAs last year and had the women's fights in between and it ended up getting a bit long winded and clogged up. Suppose it's the pc world we live in though everything is sexist/racist.

    If you follow that logic then no-one would watch female athletics, tennis etc. Also, if you're saying that men are just better so only watch them can I assume you don't bother watching the lower weights in boxing? a good heavyweight will always beat a good lightweight.
    Despite your flawed logic, I do agree that there isn't much of a market for it. Maybe they should introduce topless boxing, I do remember enjoying topless darts when live TV used to be on the air!

    But men, even at the very lowest weights, display skills and athleticism than no woman can come close matching. I personally don't watch any female sports other than to have a perv.
