      still nobody cares about womens boxing and i noticed they are starting to force it on us more. like they will have a mens championship fight on the undercard and put two lesbians fighting after them on the undercard, they barely had any fights. they should fight at the very beginning, mens boxing is far more competitive and that was some disrespectful chit to the male champions

          Well they successfully jammed the wnba down everyone's throat and now that's all I hear about, I guess they will keep trying with boxing to convince us.

            They are forcing everyone to watch Taylor-Serrano II, what a torture.

              Women’s boxing needs 3 minute rounds and it needs its fighters to produce more power in their punches and stop arm punching so much. The low KO percentages in women’s boxing doesn’t help. If there were never any ko/tko’s in men’s boxing people wouldn’t watch it as much either

                Womens boxing needs more KOs and the WNBA needs more dunking and everyone will watch

                  It may be unsolvable. I've tried watching WNBA games and I'm out before the end of the quarter, it's just that tedious.

                  The only female boxer I can think of who has the coordination, fluidity, and natural instincts to score high on the eyeball test is Katie Taylor, but she lacks that stopping power.

                  I'm so much more likely to go to the kitchen and make that dagwood during the women's fights because it's almost always a tedious chore to watch.
