It’s de****able that in this day and age women are treated 2/3 fighters. Even worse, women’s title fights are only 20 minutes total vs. 36 (55%). Not only does this affect all elements of strategy, but it literally removes opportunity, exposure, and limits their in-ring experience. Just dumb, sexist, and shameful.

Women boxing is a joke who cares, I hate that they force it in us all the time go make their own cards and own websites it's a different sport than mens boxing

The two minutes given are trickier to score. Each round doesn't have enough time to play out. Women's professional fights are like prolonged amateur bouts where it's non-stop volume

Quality is harder to observe because women's fights have fewer moments where one fighter gets visibly hurt or stunned, and knocked down or knocked out

I think we're overdue for 3 minute rounds and 12 round title fights. We'll see more drama with the extra mins and rounds for accurate punching to take effect and fatigue setting in, when recovery times are less forgiving as they are now
