    Do I watch female boxing bouts? very rarely.

    Do I watch all bouts on a boxing card even if all male? rarely unless it is top bouts.

    Damn i even hear that females now are allowed to vote, have a job and even leave the kitchen, where will this over throw of society end.
    I heard a rumour though cannot confirm it that some women run countries, or are the deputy leaders of big powerful nations, nah that cannot be fact, can it?

    If female boxing adds a few fans etc to our sport, gets a few more joining boxing gyms then in this era when boxing is not at its most popular I say go for it.

    Suggesting a female of same weight would lose against a male is likely true, however biology might just have something to do with that regarding womens bodies having the anatomy and physiology to grow, nurture and give a baby life.

    If females want to box and can earn money doing so then fair play to them, will I watch them very often, it is not likely.

    Have you ever laced up the gloves yourself? Trained at a boxing gym? Sparred with other boxers?

    Women don’t watch women’s boxing. Men don’t watch women’s boxing.

    People want to see women hitting each other’s face as much as people want to see men twerking like Cardi B, they don’t. I don’t even want to see Cardi B twerking.

    Women mma actually has more appeal because of the grappling aspect. In the same sense as to how mums could watch their kids wrestling but getting punched in the face is just too much. It’s the protective nature.

    Its biological, men don’t like to see women’s faces get punched. It raises an instilled protective defense mechanism in men.

    It’s for the same reason that when scientists analyse the behaviour of men and women by showing them pictures of men and women, women liked pictures of men brooding mostly, whilst men liked the pictures of women smiling. Men want to see women smile (which is why the old pout trend is so ridiculous) and watching their face beat up runs counter to that.

    No matter what msm, equal rights and feminists tell you.

    Will teach my daughter to box, spar and maybe even compete a bit in the ams, to learn self defense. But I hope she doesn’t turn pro.

    Skye Nicolson is getting pretty well known in Australia. Obviously she has a good look (see below)

    https://content.api.news/v3/images/bin/64e90171f4fce4f78883dc06d495ea9b

    but backs it up with a solid worldwide ranking. She gets mainstream press.

    The way boxing is turning into a niche sport with less and less mainstream coverage ... anyone
    male or female who attracts any new fans, male or female, to the sport can't be a bad thing.
