You guys really dont understand that the women have one third less time to achieve a ko. of course ko percentages are going to be lower

That's their fault.
I can't see them going a full 3 min

No, they train for the fight they're given. There are plenty of women in MMA, for instance, who get along just fine doing five minute rounds just like the men. I've sparred with plenty of women who could last 15+ 3 min rounds. Women in Muay Thai do just fine with 3 min rounds. The two minute rounds are just sexist coddling by fossils who don't want to let women fight by the same ruleset, "to keep them safe" and it's inarguable that TKO's are harder to come by with a third less time per round to work with.
