Why don't women box 3 minute rounds?
Anyone actually know?

Think it was deemed too dangerous although I think a few female fighters want 3 minute rounds.

Dangerous in what way?
Am I missing something? They hit so lightly but OK for men to get absolutely banjoed around the ring.

No idea tbh, maybe just because it’s always been that way, a bit like female tennis players only playing 3 sets instead of 5

Last weekend, Caroline Dubois defended her world title against an opponent with only four professional fights.

Katie Taylor unified the super-lightweight division by beating an opponent with only 12 fights (with the fighters she beat failing to win 91 of their bouts). It was a mismatch.

A few weeks ago, Claressa Shields won the WBC middleweight title from an opponent with only five wins. That fighter had also failed to win her previous two bouts before claiming the vacant belt.

Women’s boxing is in a terrible state right now.

Katie Taylor is an all time great in terms of her impact on women’s boxing, but she competed in an era where the overall talent pool of female fighters was exceptionally shallow (statistically and also in terms of fundamental boxing skills).

Just got back in after a night of carnage. Instead of re-running this back I ll try and coach this bird to use both hands and end this nightmare with some spurting dignity

Actually, women's boxing is in the best state it's ever been in.

And also, both your statement and mine are true.

Totally agree, they couldn't give tickets away to some really good match ups last weekend with proper fights.

I got sick of hearing a few quotes last night.

Can someone give me credible answers and evidence to these 2 points.

Katie Taylor changed boxing. How and when?
