Anyway, obviously taking Baumgardner in this one, too much lateral movement, too much power, too much booty.
Obviously boxing is still a sport there, and you get the odd fighter that comes through but that incident really had a major affect on its popularity and participation.

I think I posted a while ago, I think she might bottle it. A bit like Reis. Kudos for being undefeated past world champ serves her well. Plus, AB with DP, who would not want to see that (pun intended)
she’s a North Korean defector, went on a crazy journey as a young girl through multiple countries to get to South Korea. Far more hardships than any spoilt American boxer has gone through.
So she certainly won’t bottle a boxing match
Whether she has the skills to win is another matter.

Boxing started to get less and less popular in South Korea since the death of Kim Duk-koo after the Mancini fight. It never really recovered. Well that’s according to my girlfriend dad (they’re South Korean)
