- Ahaha.. :)

Just something not qite right about it, as PC as that sounds (and I am very UN) Just don't like it..

All to do with the breasts getting hit, and bruising up... Not in a sexual way, just a bit sick.

they just simply dont have the body mechanics for boxing do they? Im not being sexist, its genetics. it really is like watching "fencing". every shot from the shoulders, no waist movement.

That was pish. for wot its worth if that BB bird hadnt run and played tag the cooper bird wouldve bashed her up!

Theyre a togh breed them Coopers!!!!

like you I had the same opinion of "womens boxing" until I say Katie Taylor fight.

She would put most pros to shame.

Oh come on she only looks ok because of the level of most of her opponents. Women cannot fight in the way that itlooks entertaining with high skill levels.

Well I thought the skill level she had was as good as a man. Footwork, head movement, combinations - everything!

Seriously man shes pretty good - hope she gets a chance to showcase that talent.

It wasn't even a decent woman's contest, it was only showed because she was on Big Brother. if your going to show women's boxing at least show someone with ability, that was pathetic and both had lost more than they've won. Total boring waste of time.

Spot on. Not a great way to further the womens' game or gain more fans, by showing *that* spectacle. Got nothing against it, if they want to do it, but just saying that was a crap fight and wont win over too many doubters.

I turned over, it was embarrassing to watch. Boxing for me is a male sport.
