Adams, Shields,Taylor and Brækhus need to have an open weight fatal 4 way. Whoever wins will be the eternal women's boxing champion!

If they want to gain recognition, that's the perfect way to do it.

Dont think any of them are remotely close to each other in weight. All a bit of a joke really. Shields only has 29 women in her whole division

Is she hot.

By female boxing standards she's cute (not as hot as Yuko Kuroki but decent).

To the average chick she's straight for the stroke and looks like a fun time .

The more I think about this 3 min vs 2 min thing I'm starting to think it might not be to benefit the females boxers so much as to benefit the fans appetite to be entertained. I mean honestly the last thing I want in a female match is a 50% increase in the time they are in the ring.

3 minute rounds are way better for using tactics and takes better conditioning , 2 min are for amateurs to throw lots of pity pat punches to get points no good for pro boxing both male and female.

Its also good if I need to grab some nacho's & the line is long after taking a piss in between non-female fights.

Unless Adams, Taylor and Shields fight each other or some world championship in a couple of fights, they aren't bringing nothing to the pro game, i mean, they didn't bring nothing to the olympics.

I don't even think thats the problem. I think they are bringing something to the pro game cuz they are all without question talented, but there just aren't enough other things being brought to the female pro game is the problem.

I LOVE female MMA. But its competitive & there is no shortage of talent & talent on the way. And they are even taking some of boxings talent.

Boxing has nothing like that female MMA structure to build upon. I mean ffs like dude said there are 29 girls in Shields' division lol. Looking at Boxrec it says there are 22,000 male boxers & 1,400 women boxers. I believe every division from 126 on up has more fighters competing in those divisions than all of womens boxing (randomly thats the #1 reason I'm anti-lil guy divisions too cuz there are too few boxers in too many lil guy divisions).

Where i live we use kilos and as an amateur boxer i see the weights usually in kilos, when i saw that the difference between division in the pro ranks was about 1kg in the lower weights i couldn't believe it.
There are too many weight classes.
Amateur boxing has 10 classes and imo that's perfect.

Agree, the 2 minute round is ****** since an extra minute isn't harmful to females in the slightest. How are you supposed to cut off the ring or circle and jab and follow corner's fight plan in 2 minutes? silly
