Could Women compete with Men in pro boxing

[El Angel]

Even if she was on massive amounts of PEDs and whatever. A determined man could literally kill her in a 12 round fight.

Especially an in shape and prepared man. A trained woman vs an average Joe Shmoe, she could probably get through 12 by moving away and avoiding him. But any other circumstance, she gets seriously hurt in there and could be killed truthfully if he fully applied himself to the task.

actually i thought it was a better boxer than this... i thought i remembered it was lucia rijker shes a monster.. but it wasnt... its katie taylor... but still...

Lucia Rijker was KOd against a male kickboxer years ago. But she was the only woman boxer I've ever seen who really knew how to box and was unbeatable. I remember when Max Kellerman was very young and with ESPN and they were talking about female boxing, he mentioned that "the only female I know who can box is Lucia Rijker; she fights just like a man:. So I looked her up. I wrote to her and we exchanged about 5-6 letters over about a year. She wasn't doing much at that time, following Christy Martin around trying to shame her into a fight. Martin wouldn't fight. I think that Bob Arum offered a million dollar purse (or a million dollars each-can't recall). She used to train with The Roach. This was long before the movie "Million Dollar Baby" although maybe the producer got the idea for the name from the aborted Martin-Rijker fight.

At one time she had 14 wins by KO in her first 15 fights. I do't think there was good opposition then, but she was good enough to beat any woman. A genuine fighter who didn't know how to lose.

I remember Lucia Rijker from Knockout Kings 2000.

No disrespect TS but that is just a silly question! Women would get battered and literally killed if this were to happen. This is what it would look like, only 10 times worse:

Someone didn't tell that boy you're not supposed to hit girls when he was little.
