Woman ref for Korobov/Aleem?

[Boxing_1013]

Having dated a female MP and who has two female friends who are retired military, I can say for certain that not all positions are eased. It depends on the position. Some are, not all. The ones that are definitely should be.


BT is a different thing. I frankly think they should just get rid of it entirely, and set daily fitness standards and be done with it.

Back in high school, girls AND guys had to do the same number of pushups and situps and pullups and laps. And they all did it. Weight lifting is different, but a woman could certainly squat at least 200 lbs if she trained at a basic level.


As to the last statement, I don't know. You got male refs who can't seem to break up fights in time all the same. Not sure that really matters. Fighters have died on Tony Weeks' watch. That's going to happen regardless - and some of it's on the corner too.

I hear ya - yeah there are bad male refs too, or just even male refs who have a bad night.

I just personally would not feel comfortable with 99999-100000 women reffing a fight I was in. Probably would only feel comfortable with about 1/3rd of men reffing it. Just comes down to physical capabilities and how comfortable I feel with a person being able to get involved physically if necessary.

Getting involved with the little physical stuff wouldn't even really bother me - I don't think the average woman ref will get involved as often on that stuff as she should because she isn't suited to doing so. But there are a lot of boxing matches that are allowed to be more physical so that wouldn't bother me.

The bigger issue would be trusting her to really get involved physically if necessary. To jump in and push a fighter away to stop the fight. I think sending a token woman out there in the sake of equality is dangerous and quite frankly ******. Just my 2 cents.
