2 minute rounds always make fights feel low level IMO. No physical reason they can't do 3 mins.
The fact Wimbledon women tennis players want equal pay but only play 3 sets annoys me.
I am not sure with their reproductive organs they can do 3 minute rounds :lol:

I don't think you know very much about tennis. The WTA have consistently said they are happy to play 5 sets in the Slams, but the organisers of the Slams and the TV companies don't want or require it due to scheduling issues.

Men's tennis is in a prolonged purple patch due to Federer - one of the most popular and successful sportsman of all time. There have been long periods where women's tennis has had higher TV ratings, and more importantly, could charge higher TV advertising revenues than the men's game, particularly in the US.

In the ring!
I don't think a man's reproductive organs were meant to be walloped, hence a groin protector. I'm not a gynaecologist, but I'm pretty sure a woman's ovaries are also protected by said groin protector.
The exact argument was presented by Jane couch against the BBof C

May not be everyone s cup o' tea. If women wish to fight,however, let them. People died for equality. It's now a right.
