    All entitled to opinions but women's boxing does not excite me at all.

    There will be the odd decent fight but it has to be in the context that the level of women's boxing at the top is levels below the men and that is excluding the physicality.

    Alright Joseph Barton lad. You’re 100% accurate but you’re forgetting you’re in the wrong century to be speaking so much common sense. You’re a misogynistic caveman.

    Huge words created by the woke brigade to achieve compliance.

    Yet on the I'm a celeb programme the same Woke Brigade find it acceptable for 2 women to stare at Nigel Farage naked and joke about his body.

    I hear Alex Scott is better than Messi at Pie tasting

    Don't try to force it on people who like regular boxing then.

    Used to love boxing news, now not so much. It's gone too woke and pretentious for me. Big long worded pathetic paragraphs trying to sound poetic and clever instead of just good quality journalism.

    I've no real problem with it and tend to avoid the fights unless there's a good reason to watch. The problem I have with women's boxing is how high up the card it goes - the fights are often second-top of the bill and kill the atmosphere just before the main event.

    Taylor is clearly the exception here as she is the draw and at least it's an event when she fights.

    The lady fighters are thrown in our face a bit more than I'd like (exhibit A Fran Hennessy on tonights card FFS) but out of the Tokyo mob / women who have recently turned pro knowing they'll probably be able to cash in on unjustified coverage/ I rate Price as best of the bunch.

    It's a choice. Cmon mate..
    It's just like not everyone likes the lowest men's weights. If u can't find any beauty & creativity in female boxing then I'm afraid ur not watching close enough.
    I used to have that attitude, that female boxing isn't worth watching but I now admit it was just my own ignorance. Even last night, Did u not watch Beatriz Farriera on last night's dazn card.
    She's good to watch.

    Don't listen to their podcast anymore, precisely because of that, plus unlike Nuthouse Boxing for instance, they clearly toe the party line to the point they're just very dull and interesting now, and it's just a bland discussion
