    Do you respect women's boxing more now?

    Or are you indifferent? Or against?

    I think whatever the case the women have proven they can be real draws, even more so than the men so anyone who's against it should probably just STFU at this stage.

    No, I believe that women are just not genetically cut out for combat sports...their anatomy, everything is just not right for getting hit...

    Neither are men really, but women are simply too fragile...male skull is a lot thicker and denser and look what happens to many....now think women.

    But that's me....I'm sure millions will disagree.

          I remember watching an exhibition fight at a local gym where these two girls pretty much circled each other most of the fight. The funny part was that they were a good 6-7 feet apart from each other most of the time. Then one would rush in, they would start beating the crap out of each other, and then they'd go back to circling.

          Anyway, I think its good in the sense that women are able to compete in a sport if they choose to. Therefore, they are provided opportunities similar to those of men.

          If you would like to see some good fights between women, you should watch the two recent bouts between Ana Maria Torres and Jackie Nava.

            I respect it more now, while I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it I'd take an interest if say Nicola Adams or Katie Taylor were fighting on a Carl Froch undercard.

                I have always respected them, it is tough to get in that ring man or woman. I am still rather indifferent toward it though, but sometimes it can be fun to watch.

                    it went from Quincy Taylor defending a belt to Martin on the televised undercard. it is what it is, the undercards without women arent any better IMO
