Mumsnet views on Women’s Boxing

How many fights on the Fury vs Whyte card were better than Taylor vs Serrano?

 

If you accept that BS you spouted as fact then you should ban womens boxing altogether.

But this is what listening to a minority of lefty autistic scientists gets us as a society.

 

You interpret 'better' as 'more competitive', of course, while comparing a 50/50 womens' unification with a routine mandatory obligation supported by one of the most pilloried undercards of recent memory.

In terms of the quality of the principles on display, there were at least three obvious bouts on the Fury Fury-Whyte bill I'd much sooner watch than the girls' main event from last weekend.

'Better' and 'more competitive' could be used interchangeably if we weren't talking about two vastly differing versions of the sport, qualitatively speaking.

Decent alt., though.

 

See, you're moving the goalposts now.

I said Taylor vs Serrano was in the "Top 50% of fights I've seen"....
You disagreed, but are now claiming you can't compare a unification fight with a mandatory defence, not only proving my points previously, but also proving you didn't read my points clearly.

I watched 7 fights on the Fury vs Whyte undercard, so even for you to say you preferred 3 of them, that's below my 50%...So again, you prove yourself wrong.

Would you rather watch Mayweather vs Mcgregor 2 or Taylor vs Serrano 2?
(The answer proves whether or not you're so heavily entrenched in bias that you can't give a fair and honest answer).

The current fad of women's boxing will fizzle out. Market isn't there no matter how hard it is pushed & promoted, ignoring the level of competition issue.

The mumsnet thread is just an insight into the general perspective that women tend to have on combat sports. "babaric, should be banned" etc etc., These views are not anything new I'm sure everyone has heard these views.

This is what happens when one sex has evolved to fight and be the breadwinners whilst the other not. Ignoring modern trends & society you still aren't changing these biological wirings.

Nothing wrong with having them opinions but guess what, the people who pay to watch these sports are majority male and we'll pay good money to see Floyd Mayweather hug a man to death or Tyson Fury call someone a dosser.

 

No, I'm saying that 'better' (as you mean it, i.e. more competitive) is a moot distinction when we're talking about very different versions of the sport.

Which is a far-out, trippy statement in and of itself, unless you've been watching the sport a very short time. I'll take your posts at face value for a moment (though you're an alt.) to ask, how many fights have you seen? Four? Twenty? Forty? My external hard drives are bulging with fights that were infinitely more exciting and fought on a much higher technical level than the one you're gushing over.

Not really. I just didn't care to bring to mind green prospect vs. journeyman matchups.

Silly argument. Mayweather-McGregor was a sideshow involving a guy from a different sport. I could care less about ever seeing Taylor-Serrano II, though it will inevitably be thrown on a card with fights I have interest in.

 

Firstly, Taylor v Serrano II will be a Main Event, it won't be 'Thrown on a card', it will be in front of 80,000+ in Ireland.

And you continue to prove your hypocrisy....

Firstly trying to claim my boxing knowledge is limited and asking "How many fights have you seen?"....
But then yourself claiming "I just didn't care to bring to mind green prospect vs journeyman matchups".

Just have the decency to admit you're wrong.

 

Having said this,

In qualitative terms, I'd absolutely choose to watch Mayweather (even faded, in an exhibition mismatch) over a womens' bout. That's one of the 50 greatest ever to lace on gloves plying his craft.

 

'Put some damn respeck on laydeeboxing!'

Getting offended over a figure of speech. You absolute warrior of justice for laydeez.

The two things have no rational correlation whatsoever.

I asked a fair question, 'How many fights have you seen?' Your answer could have gone some way to explaining why Taylor-Serrano might sit so highly in your ranking.

That I was too idle to bother summoning to mind the prospect-journeyman bouts that padded out the Fury-Whyte bill when responding to your earlier question is neither here nor there.

Perhaps not an alt. Could it be you are earnest and really are this obtuse?

'Your thinking is wrong and indecent! Submit to laydeebox or face annihilation!'

 

The laydeebox revolution mangled in four short paragraphs and an embed.

 

I think they need to go to 3 minute rounds for scoring purposes, if nothing else. The fight the other night was a perfect example. You need that extra minute.

But I'm fine with 10 rounds rather than 12. Not because women are inferior, but because the sport lacks the quality and depth to support 12-round fights at this point. Most of them are pretty boring due to lack of power, if we're being honest. What made Saturday's fight so good was that it was a bloodbath and someone almost got stopped (I scored that round 10-8).

 

Absolute appalling post you should be banned

 

You lack any real-life influence so you hop online with this kind of grandstanding. Sad!

 

Sorry don`t wish to correspond with someone with your lack of morals

 

What's your standard for objective morality?
