i personally like women's boxing but the issues is
1. there are not enough fighters out there, thats also an issue in women's mma and kickboxing
2. the skill level has improved but not drastically, a medicore amatuer male can probably take most professional females out
3. i think there's also a different type of mindset involved in boxing vs. mma, boxing is based on traditon and its easy to point to fighters and talk about the "good ol days" of marciano, zale, armstrong, dempsey etc. but you don't have that type of history with women's boxing but corrollary to that most people in boxing are stuck in a past machismo type mindset
i.e. we believe in fighting to the death and titanic struggles of fistic glory, those that quit in the ring we abash them as cowards, duran in no mas, mccall in the the 2nd lewis fight, frietas against corrales and diazand recently isreal vasquez when he quit on his stool in the first encounter against marquez but in mma if you quit thats fine, sure there machismo is akin to boxing but traditionally there's no honor in surrender not in war not in boxing but its fine in mma
its a new age of thinking vs. tradition that helps the mma fight whores gear on, and sometimes that hurts like in boxing, william dettloff a huge editor and contributer decries having women involved in boxing, he hates the idea of women promoters, commentators or even fighters because hes stuck in this old mindset as well and so many of boxing enthusiast
i pick a great boxing match over a mma match any day but sometimes we have to have a balance of old world class and new world style
we got to accept women in boxing in all levels and begin to understand our own ideologies, those that decry women involved in boxing with there sexist attitudes are extremely reminiscent of those that wanted to keep blacks out of boxing, that segregated the colors from the whites, i'm reminded by a quote of Jack Dempsey "I'll never let a negro fight me... they don't deserve the chance..."
so in retrospect all those that hate on womens' boxing you're no different, you're no better, i'm pretty sure you have daughters, wives, mothers and yet you would hold women down to this societal rapage? so basically what you're saying if a woman has dreams you'd deny them just as swift based on their sex? so it wouldn't begrudge your to have your daughter's dreams abashed just because of her sex?
its an out of date old school shitty mentality, i mean i respect those of you with the balls to lay out what you got to say, if you're sexist than so be it, racist then so be it, Malcolm X once said "i'd rather know where a man stands and tells me he hates me than to says he loves me and betray me behind my back"
at least you some of the guys got the balls to tell the world that you shun women then to rape them in their sleep, figuratively
