    BYW Katie Taylor would smash the granny out of you.....I think this may be the bigger picture here....Fear of strong women

    I’m not in to it. Put women’s boxing cards on, let’s see how well they do.

    It’s generally not competitive, not very compelling and not very feminine (as I like my women to be).

    Yes she is highly skilled but still I’m just not a fan.

    Please tell me more about my history of rejection with women pal. Happily married with 3 children- 1 of those being a girl.

    Please tell me and Erik about our history of rejection since you are an expert, and also psychic. Dont try though to refute the good points that me and Erik make though, because we dont want to approach this subject logically do we?

    What would YOU do if your daughter decided to take up boxing as a career, and dedicated her life in pursuit of her dreams.

    I’d support her 100%.

    That doesn’t change the fact that although some women are highly skilled and I can’t argue against that, that I just don’t find it enjoyable to watch. Sorry.

    Why do people hate facts now days

    Women's sport is miles behind mens because of physiological differences, it's just Science, men are just better at sport so thus more entertaining so more people enjoy watching it, it's a higher skill level, speed, physcality, just far more palatable. I have no issue with female sport but hate it is being pushed down our front like the womens football which averages less attendances than League One yet is being pushed by Sky and BBC as though it is a massive sport. Went on BBC the other day to see big headline Arsenal sign England star, clicked it and it was bleeding Sarah Champion had signed for them

    You want an even bigger debate look at tran-gender people now going into womens sport and smashing it and now a few big women sportstars saying it's unfair

    Don't have a problem with women's sports, they just need to be kept separate so people can choose whether or not to watch. Imagine you pay your Skysports subscription and the prime time slots for football, like on a Sunday, have started being replaced with women's football in the name of equality. Would you not feel ripped off?

    Have you ever been to a show with women on? I have when Nicola Adams fought and virtually no one was interested, you could hear a pin drop and most people just treated it as an intermission to go to the bar. My misses will watch the boxing with me and even she has no interest in watching women fight. That is just how it is. When people part with their hard earned cash to watch professional sports they want to see the best, which is the men. But according to people on here you're a virgin and an incel or whatever for this:lol:

    The way things are going all top level women's sports will soon be dominated by men pretending to be women. We are just seeing the beginning of it now but it's only going to get worse the further we go down the progressive rabbit hole. Then the same people crying in this thread will be calling you a bigot because you don't enjoy watching men spark out women.

    Surely being progressive can’t be seen as a bad thing. Although I appreciate some people struggle with the progression of women - there was a lot of backlash to the idea of the women’s vote ... women working ... & still women in sport seemingly. This view point is still strong in hardline Islamic states - I definitely wouldn’t want my daughter growing up in Saudi Arabia. As I said previously - it’s one female bout every 3-4 televised cards & I’d rather watch Taylors all action style than the likes of Okolie!

    Taylor won by TKO last night in an entertaining fight where she exhibited fantastic skill and will to win. It was better than most of the male fights on the card.

    I didnt say women should *not* be boxing.

    My position is that I dont want to watch it, and I resent it taking up a space on a mens boxing card. Fine for them to have their own shows and boxing cards, just dont take up the space that a man should have.

    Why doesnt Katie Taylor headline a show and only have other female fights on it- if that was to happen I would be fine with it.

    I am 100% behind trans men who identify as female competing in womens sports. After all if we are going to pretend that if someone calls themselves an attack helicopter then that makes them an attack helicopter then why not go the whole way?
    However what i do not want to see is male cucks or womens athletes then complaining because everything is being won by the trans men who identify as female. You made your bed now lie in it.
