Comments Thread For: Katie Taylor: 'I Don't Know If Women's Boxing Has the Strength and Depth to Have 3-Minute Rounds'

Maybe they could consider 10x2 rounds just for Shakur fights.

I agree the depth just isn't there.. I watched the Hannah Rankin-ema kozin fight the other night for the unified 154lb titles and it was like watching two novices almost not two people fighting to become unified champion and even with 10x2 rounds it was a slog to get through. For a few fights here and there 10x3 or 12x3 where it's the very best on occasion that would be okay but not every fight needs to be because the quality at world level in some of the divisions is poor

My thoughts exactly about the Rankin and Kozin fight.

Amanda Serrano would disagree, of course Katie is going to say that since she benefitted in their fight off of the 10 2 minute rds where otherwise Amanda would have stopped her.

I vote for a transition to 1 minute rounds, and then cancelling womens boxing altogether because nobody cares.

[YGriffith]

Means longer breaks between fights.

If women want to improve women boxing, they need better outfits and smaller gloves, 4 to 6oz.

There's a reason why there are genders. People who advocate for 3 min rounds are fooling themselves. Just look at these women boxers. They look like s***** at the end of the fight. And this is only 2 min/round. Let alone put them in 3 min hell.

I agree with you 100%! Serrano, and Ramos just proved that women have the strength, and depth to go 3 minute round's.

We would also get more stoppages with more time to work, Serrano ran out of time and had to rush her offense in the fight with Taylor, had her stumbling all over the ring in the middle rds.

the flip side of that coin is you might get less action as the fighters pace themselves for the longer rounds.......

Amateur boxing sucks, its basically a slapping contest where whoever can slap the fastest in volume wins. If you like that kinda action fine but not me sir.
