That's really good for women's boxing on a Friday

Great news! She's the key unlocking a lot of untapped potential. I know more women who go to boxing and kickboxing classes than men. Sure it's not a purist crowd but they spend money.

They need to push her even harder. You get women to start following her and just watch what happens to the following for men. Just make her the lead in for guys like Spence.

That's real good for women's boxing. That was a entertaining fight as well.

Those are some pretty good numbers there... Had a decent little crowd at the fight to..

I've been a boxing fan my whole life and this is the first year I've made an active effort to follow women's boxing. With fighters like Braekhus, Shields, and Hammer out there it's been worth the effort so far.

[Bob Haymon]

Those are better ratings than most Golden Boy on ESPN fights.

That is HUGE for Women Boxing! Doing a great job showcasing Christina Hammer and Shields on the same card. I do think Hanna Gabriels deserves a instant rematch though instead of just rushing to the Hammer fight

Great job Women’s boxing
