    My problem with a woman ref in men's boxing is that sometimes ref's take punches. She did a good job, but I don't think they should put a woman in there and take a chance of one getting hit.

        ****ing boxing fans, even complain about the sex of the ref! Don't see why it matters if the ref is a man or woman but I'm sure some moron on here will have an absurd explanation.

          Can't say I had too much of an issue with her performance, she missed Caparello standing on Kovalev's foot for the k/d but Kovalev missed it too.

            I think she is too small to ref 2 light heavyweights.

              I don't like woman refs in the higher weight divisions. She was real tentative to step between Kovalev and for good reason. I think they should ref the lower weight classes. Don't want a woman trying to stop Deontay Wilder or GGG

                Sparky (the ref) has been involved in boxing for many years!
                She is a capable official and does a great job.
                If a fighter disrespects her then he gets DQ'd just like any other fighter who acts like a fool!

                    Is that really any worse than Jay Nady's ****y "I am the man" approach?

                      It's possibly not safe. There have been many, many, many fights where the ref had to get physical with the fighters.

                      But you know how the west is with biology and gender...
                      Merely pointing out that it exists makes me a sexist racist maoist and some other ists. A kid called me an "ageist" once.
