    Women's boxing is a decent standard tbf. It's not like watching women's soccer, which is laughable. The problem is that there's no depth of quality yet.

      They participated in the same amount of Olympics. Plus Shields is younger and turned pro at the same time as Taylor.

        Weak beta males like Rosenthalstein think pandering to women will get them laid. Women don't like soft f@gs like latka boy. This narrative is dying fast.

          Shields is a manufactured champion, all 5 of those titles were vacant when she won them.

            Nice research Pigeon, you forgot to mention taylors 6 amateur world titles and the fact that she got boxing into the Olympics though. And the fact that the US has 200 odd million people as opposed to irelands 4. Taylor is women's boxing, the only reason why she didn't win gold in her second Olympics was because her dad, who was her trainer, was caught ****ing her friend in the buildup. Taylor couldn't handle that due to her strict religious beliefs and lost focus and her coach just a couple of months out from the Olympics

              I'll admit. I'm kind of interested in this fight.

Different level from the vast majority of all except one or two women (like Taylor). Braekhus and Taylor I could see hanging with the guys up to a respectable level. Only thing is the First Lady gonna be 38 in a few months and can't have long left at the top... it's a fair size difference but if some kinda catchweight could be sorted between Braekhus and Taylor... damn.

                Thanks For The Most Excellent Video...

                  Lol Shields is talented but maybe 3rd or 4th talent in women's boxing Taylor definitely the #1. Then the Puerto Rican gal from NY who's won in 5 or 6 different divisions. Shields has talent. Just not like some the others.

                    One of the biggest fights and most anticipated fights so far this year regardless of Gender. We rarely if ever get a 50/50 Women Boxing Match, this is the first I can remember honestly and that is a good thing. Next is Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano, that can be a big one as well!

                    Male MMA fans support Women MMA so why can't Male Boxing Fans support Women Boxing as well
