How come there aren’t many Knockouts in Womens boxing?

[_Rexy_]

Two minute rounds

Look up Ann Wolfe the dude was knocking em out back in the day.

You don't watch that much then. Knockouts do happen, although they're not that common, by design. There's a few women with greater than 50% stoppage rates.

It's pretty straightforward. They only have 2 min rounds, and only 10 to work with even in championship fights. Most "knockouts" in men's fights aren't one-shot stops either. They do some damage, and then the fighter needs to pursue a TKO stoppage by landing enough damage that the other fighter can't get out of the round. It often takes a minute or so to get the stoppage after they wobble the fighter with a clean shot. In a women's fight, unless they get the fighter wobbled in the first minute of the round, they don't have enough time to work with.

Just look at how many stoppages in men's fights happen in the third minute of the round. It's most of them. Look at how many happen after 30 minutes of the fight, for that matter, with accumulation of damage. A women's title fight is only 30 minutes. So if you put the same restrictions on men, you'd see similar things happen. It's not because of the women, it's because of the ruleset.

That's also why you see more stops in women's MMA, because they fight with the same ruleset as the men.

Also going to mention that "physiology" doesn't have much to do with it. They don't necessarily have the punch power, but they also don't have the punch resistance. So it evens out.

False, my girlfriend has crazy punch resistance. She just soaks it up and keeps on coming. I usually retire in my corner after throwing the kitchen sink at her.

Women have thicker skulls.

1, Same reason lower weight classes for men have lower knockout percentages than higher weight classes... they don't hit as hard.
2. They fight fewer rounds in title fights (10 as opposed to 12)
3. They generally fight shorter rounds (2 minutes as opposed to 3)

Smaller people fighting shorter, fewer rounds. Very simple.
