And what exactly do these "medical studies" indicate, Mauricio? Women will collapse after 2 minutes? Bull****. These female athletes train for hours in the gym getting to that world level. It's called exercise science.

At the very least, you should respect women having the choice to contractually agree to fight under the same terms as men or going the traditional route. I'm surprised this is coming from you, tbh. I thought you'd be a huge advocate for women haven't spent all these years being Canelo's b****.

Two minute rounds for men; One minute for women.

The risk with fighting for more time, you become more dehydrated and also tired and that is very dangerous.

so, your quite comfortable with catchweight fights that have rehydration clauses clearly that has nothing to do with your wbc rules

The average female runner completes a 26-mile marathon in under 5 hours.

Publish this "medical study," Mauricio. Who conducted it, Dr. Pepper?

10 rounds & 2 minutes is good for women. No need to change it just because some women want to show they are strong like men. There is more intensity in 2-minute rounds.

The issue for boxing and more importantly women will be concussions. Women seem to be more prone to concussions, then men, which in boxing is a recipe for disaster. Furthermore, women maybe more prone to brain injuries in general compared to there male counterparts. I think more research needs to be conducted but that will take time so what's the solution? Let women get the 12x3 and raise the risk of brain injury or maintain the standard even if the risk maybe not be as high as originally thought.

Finally fat boy Sulaiman does something useful for the sport.. all though I would suggest to simply knock down women’s boxing to 8 rounds max for world strap fights.. all other 6 rounders

Sulaiman is floating 2 minute rounds for men, you know what call him out on his bluff. 2 minute rounds for men would torpedo the WBC into irrelevancy.
