you'll watch and you even watch now. Stop lying to look cool on a message board. There is no way you have never watched a women's boxing match and don't watch them now. foh..

Lol.
Hate to break it to you, but in fact, I do not watch women’s boxing.
That’s like saying “you definitely watch women’s basketball”

If that’s perceived as cool then sure whatever.
good to see it got those panties in a twist though

Well I do watch women's basketball. I've been watching since the 80s and 2 of my 5 favorite female players of all time that I have watched since they were in college (Dawn Staley at VA and Nikki Mccray at TN) are now college coaches with Staley winning an NCAA title. So yes, you'd be right by saying I watch women's basketball because I attend my old middle school, high school, and college male AND female home games(girls and boys play on the same day in high school and middle school). Plus the female basketball team from my old high school are one of the best in the entire state (2A) and won the state title a few seasons ago..

Take it further, give them 3 minute rounds and 12 round championship fights. Tko’s will go up

Look at the PPV numbers for women’s boxing.
You are of the select few who intentionally tunes in to watch a women’s boxing match.

So when you come in hot and heavy acting like “how dare you suggest no one watches it, you’re just trying to act cool”
I would stop and just look at those numbers.

The fact is, next to no one cares for women’s boxing.
So good on you for supporting it, and best of luck if that’s what you’re into.

but you came in waaaaay to gun ho to protect a sport that’s just not popular for obvious reasons

Yeah it is needed, I think 2 Minutes is taking away from Women Boxing and it prevents more KO's IMO

As if boxing is not dangerous for men? It's a brutal sport, if any adult signs up to put their bodies on the line man or women let them.

Women's skulls are different and can't absorb as much punishment as a mans. No, this is not a social construct, just facts.

MMA women fight 5 minutes just as men and have stolen the show on many fight cards from the men.

Yeah I vote for 3 minutes for sure.

Ironically although women generally exhibit lower muscular strength, bone density, speed etc they actually are superior to males in some high endurance contexts.

The shallowness of the talent pool, real or perceived, is a completely different conversation.

They have weaker upper body strength and can't punch as hard as men. Using that logic it should be men boxers with the limited round time if safety is a concern.

Also if you know anything about science brain trauma has almost nothing to do with skull thickness but the brain rocking around inside the skull.

They also punch with less force so its probably a wash, we aren't talking about men fighting women.

2 minutes or 3 minutes, I still ain’t watching

Maybe if they went topless I'd watch
