    Womens Boxing Added to 2012 Olympic Games

    (COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – The International Olympic Committee Executive Board announced today that the sport of women’s boxing will be added to the schedule for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England. Boxing was previously the only summer sport on the Olympic docket without a female counterpart.

    “We are thrilled that the IOC Executive Committee has voted to add women’s boxing events to the 2012 Olympic Program. The ‘yes’ vote means that female boxers will now be able to share in the dream of standing on the world’s most prestigious sporting podium,” said USA Boxing Women’s Task Force Chair and AIBA Women’s Commission member Christy Halbert. “It’s a historic event, marking the first time that all of the summer Olympic sports will have female participants. The Olympic Games, will, from now on, truly showcase the world’s best talent.” [details]

    I'm no fan of chickboxing myself (just not interested), but I don't see any reason as to why they shouldn't have been allowed their own participation in the Olympics to begin with. If a pair of beezys want to box each other's face and **** - and both are consenting - just let them! :laff2:

      Christ ; as if the current Amateur system isn't fucked up enough as it is.

      Now we're going to have to suffer through twice as much of it, with the new half being bull dykes grunting and punching each other in their chests.

          Because of this less men will be allowed to compete and with fever weightclasses available to them. Apart from that allowing women to fight should be taken under serious consideration as neither their bodys nor minds are constructed for this and they may risk serious damage. The unquestioned and blind drive for total equality in all cases between women and men is a sign of the degeneration of our civilisation.

            Womens boxing would only be interesting if they were allowed to box the men. I think they should have light men versus heavier women. Like a 175lb woman against a 130lbs man

                  I couldn't agree more.

                    WELL HOLY **** AND OH MY FUCKING GOD, THE WOMEN ARE TAKING OVER. RUN FOR THE HILLS AND STUFF.

                    I'll refrain from posting a rolly-eyes. Your post isn't worth the energy it'd take to type the code.
