This is all based on sexism.
I think all fights should be 8 rounds,
and 10 for fights between two top 20 fighters.
The length of sport competitions are more based on savage history, than actual science.
The Best Female Boxer in the world has at least 500 male fighters that are better than her in her own weight class. Guaranteed.
More than that if you include Amateurs.
WBC clarify they will never allow female boxers to compete more than two minutes or ten rounds

And I guarantee you that there are 500 male boxers RIGHT NOW in Katie Taylor's weight class that are more skilled than her. At least 500.crusader wrote:Katie Taylor is arguably the most skilled female boxer ever.

Re: WBC clarify they will never allow female boxers to compete more than two minutes or ten rounds
Whatever the number, the talent pool in women's boxing is so much smaller that the competitors can get a lot farther with a lot less ability, time, and effort.
Re: WBC clarify they will never allow female boxers to compete more than two minutes or ten rounds
Yep, and the ones that actually have developed significant skill like Katie Taylor will basically spend their entire career never being challenged because all of the women they compete against can't box for sh*t, and resemble an amateur having their very first bout.crusader wrote:Whatever the number, the talent pool in women's boxing is so much smaller that the competitors can get a lot farther with a lot less ability, time, and effort.
When you actually have skill it's easy to look impressive against somebody that looks like they just took up the sport last week.

There's no reason I can see why they shouldn't fight over 12 x 3's. There's plenty of female endurance athletes.
Re: WBC clarify they will never allow female boxers to compete more than two minutes or ten rounds
I think the WBC believes that women are capable of fighting 12 x 3, but they claim that they will not permit it for safety reasons. In other words, men can take the risks which are far more dangerous because they punch a lot harder, but not the women because the WBC does not want to see them getting hurt. Will the WBC change the men's title fights from 12 x 3 to 10 x 2 like the women? No, because then they will definitely lose money.

Men are bigger, stronger, faster and have more stamina than women. By EVERY sports measure men are significantly superior. The world/US/European records for men are about 12+% better than women in track (actually 18% difference in Long Jump), compared to about 8-10% in swimming (the higher body fat % of women gives them greater buoyancy so their swim records are less inferior than land sports).
That's why so-called "transgender" male athletes pretending to be women so they can compete against female athletes are nothing less than filthy cheaters who cannot hang with their fellow males so they pick on female athletes.
Likewise with those athletes born female who load upon testosterone as "transgenders" so they have more strength, speed and muscle-mass than other females:

No less than a PED cheater.Mack Beggs, 17, was born female but has been undergoing a testosterone treatment for more than a year and currently has the muscle mass of a similarly-aged male.

All of these types of comparisons are a way for little dicked men to feel superior to women.Best Coast wrote:If "Sexism" is acknowledgement that men and women are DIFFERENT then nature itself is "sexist"...gilgamesh wrote:All you have to do is watch Women's Boxing to know it's nowhere near the same level of skill and technique as male Boxing.

1. Women are competing against other women.
2. Women are adults too. If they want to fight 12 rounds, how does a science board of men get to say no?

I'd like to see them be over so fast they never even start. Boxing morphs with wrasslin. Women boxing. OK how about midget boxing?
