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

[Butt stuff]

Persoon and Serrano would’ve potentially finished Taylor had they been 3 min rounds.

Because she knows her style gets beat if it was 12 rounds 3 minute rounds she scared to have because she can't fight in spurts anymore

[pretty ste]

The 2 minute rounds feel short when watching.

However I don't think three minute rounds in women's boxing would mean more knockouts because the lack of knockouts is basically down to them not having much power and lacking any real ability and technique to knock somebody out.

There is a few women boxes with high knockout percentages like Savannah Marshall, so obviously the two minute rounds haven't affected her being able to knock people out, so it's clearly just the lack of ability in the majority of women fighters, not the minutes. Katie Taylor couldn't crack an egg if you gave her 10 minute rounds.

3 minute round would probably mostly lead to more fatigue and very scrappy fights. The majority of women boxers are just lesbians that did some boxercise classes and got encouragement to give it a go for real. Watching then box 3 minute rounds with no capability to knock someone out and poor skill on show would be poor viewing.

No is just katie scared of 3 minutes 12 rounds fights

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.

That's what she wants katie is pathetic

women's boxing is basically pitty patting each round then go to the decision, there is rarely any danger in majority of matches. Extending to 3min rounds will bring more excitement because a fighter has 1 more minute to work on a hurt/exhausted fighter , raising the KO% or a ref stoppage.

Well yeah

She shat her knickers when Serrano asked her to do minute rounds.

I think the issue is that most women don't have the power to knock the other out. So most fights are going to go the distance. Whether 2 or 3 minutes. So 3 minutes round fights will almost always go the distance, and time is money. Also only very few women fighters are skilled enough to make a 3 minute round fight entertaining. 2 minute round fights make them fight harder, and faster, therefore more entertaining. I have to admit that only a very few women fighters hold my attention throughout the fight, like Katie, and Amanda. Shields is good, but she is not entertaining even with two minute rounds much less three. I think as women boxing continues to advance, there will be a change in the time limit. I just don't think it is there yet.

[Smash]

all this talk of 3 min rounds being some sort of saviour for womens boxing is a bit weird, i mean serrano just did 3 min rounds with some patsy and ended up as a UD LOL

after all her talk too

[MulaKO]

We all know why Taylor is not vouching for three minute rounds
She wouldn’t have one loss but two
And she seems to burnout in two minute rounds
Yeah , so that’s it

[_Rexy_]

Every other female boxer I've seen answers that they should fight 3 minute rounds.
