    It annoys the fuck out of me to hear boxers and boxing pundits toeing the PC line and telling what they surely know to be blatant lies. Stuff like .. "Katie Taylor isn't just one of the best female boxers in the game .. she's one of the best boxers in the game, male or female. Maybe the best boxer Ireland has ever produced ... blah, blah ...

    People who surely know better were comparing Cecilia Brækhus to Joe Louis. Others talk about Claressa Shields surpassing Loma in terms of most world titles won in fewest pro fights, as if their respective achievements were anything like comparable. It's all so cynical and disingenuous.
    oh yeah, and don't you dare to call them on their bs or you'll be labeled as sexist bigot and deplatformed accordingly

    Them *****es are beyong criticism, apparently. You can't point their flaws or criticize their paper belts and pitiful divisions. We, as men, are forced to watch their mediocre fights AND like them, and also PRAISE them otherwise we're labeled as sexist ****s. Stating facts is now called hate speech, if said facts aren't aligned with the globalist/SJW agenda.

    Western women are the most pampered group there's ever been in the history of mankind

        They are, and they're annoying as fuck with it, sometimes. But we can't help loving them, eh?

          Man, you got it rough. You got someone standing over you forcing you to tune in to watch women's fights, huh? I mean damn, Ms Koba can be quite shrill at times but she could never make me watch some shet I really didn't want to. Is this like some Clockwork Orange matchstick job or something?

            IDK man, pampered they may be, but I gotta admit I rather like not being the one that's picking up my dirty socks and skivvies day in day out and putting dinner on the table...

              Yeah, as long as they're not femi****s

              I despise them angry blue haired *****es with armpit hair who yell "down with da patriarchy" at every turn and love to vandalize stuff and never take responsibility for their actions because they can hide behind their ******s

              In fact, I don't even consider them women. I would gladly punch them in the face if they tried to come at me with harmful intentions

              I also hate the manginas, soyboys, white knight manlets who support them and their bs. They don't realize no matter how hard you grovel to them, you'll never please radical feminists, and they'll always hate you for the sole reason that you have *****

              lol

              Try to make an article or a serious post in a sports mass media outlet, about how you don't like to watch wahmen's boxing because it's too mediocre of a spectacle for your taste. Talk about facts like the poor pool of talent, lack of skills even in the so called elite fighters, etc

                In all honesty, most of these comments invoke scenes of nascent neanderthals, dragging deer across mud and dried leaves, with club over shoulder.

                  The standard really is garbage

                  It would actually be great if they had any power to knock each other out cold because the standard is so awful, it would lead to some brutal knockouts, but 99% of women boxers have no power.

People say **** to get people interested... those who know their shet know their shet and know the hype for what it is. What does it matter?

                    Maybe I'm feeling the lack of sleep and being a little harsh in my comments here. I don't mean to disrespect the guts it takes for anyone, male or female, to get up into a ring and fight. But, like i said in a previous comment, I feel the way female fights are being being pushed to the fore and given top billing on cards full of high level male fights nowadays is disrespectful to the depth and long history of men's boxing.

                      World we live in mate, I got some sympathies and I certainly wouldn't try to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't like but as a matter of principle I personally believe the women's sport should be supported. Aside from anything else the only way it's gonna improve is by getting more acceptance and getting more women into it. And trying to exclude women altogether would do waaay more harm than good.

                      Whether it should be headlined alongside men's fights or just languish on undercards is a matter for the markets to decide I reckon - and this feeling-out process is what's going on at the moment - to coin (and simultaneously bastardise) an Americanism I guess if it makes money it makes sense, but I think we'd be ****** as a sport to ignore the role women play in modern life. As I mentioned a few posts above calls to ban or limit the sport are more likely to come from women, and more boys are likely to get into the sport if it's gained some degree of acceptance amongst mothers... I'm thinking the best way to get women to accept it is to get 'em involved. What do you reckon?
