BoxRec

I notice a lot of people commenting they would follow women boxing closer if they knew where to get information about it.

So as a service, I will try my best to update on fights and other stuff here. But don't expect to much :P

Since its very hard to know hundred percent if a fight will happen or get cancelled. I will only pre post about the fights that has the highest probability to happen.

Also you can find a lot of information on the facebook page named "women boxing archive network"

Feel free to comment about anything as long as its respectful and relevant for women boxing.

Shindo Go Vs Arely Mucino looks like a good bout this coming weekend

Women with disfigured faces ? No, thank you.

GTFO then ikorolev

Last weekend was very interesting, but with a slow start.

Friday 28th, Aida Halac (5-0) from Bosnia Herzegovina kept building her record against Ivana Mirkov (0-3) from Serbia. It was scheduled for 6x2 but corner stopped in 2

Saturday 29th, A battle for the light welterweight crown took place, Ana Laura Esteche (11-3-2) won a SD against Fernanda Soledad Alegre (20-2-1). Since neither fighter dominated the 140lb crown is still considered vacant. The scores was 97.5-93.5, 97.5-96 and 95.5-98 (hate those half points)

Ivana Habazin (14-2) returned to the ring after a title fight loss to Cecilia Brækhus. After first announcing her retirement, she got the hunger back after she was praised by Brækhus. When Brækhus hired her as sparring partner for the upcoming fight against Jennifer Retzke, she was wildly encouraged. Facing journey women Galina Gimliiska (10-34), she is now on winning ways again. Scheduled for 6x2 Habazin had her opponent down 3 times but was unable to stop her, scoring the fight 60-51.

Cecilia Brækhus (27-0) was also back in the ring against IBF mandatory challenger Jennifer Retzke (15-2). Brækhus said before the fight she predicted a KO, and with all respect after all Retzke was a class below her. Nisse Sauerland said, "this was not a fight we choose, we was given it. We had to negotiate!" Brækhus started very strong outclassing her opponent, but in 3 og 4 round she suffered a midfoot sprain. Without the ability to move like she use to, she was now forced to fight her heavier opponent on the inside in the pocket. Still she came out on top winning 2x 100-90 and 98-92. This was FOTY for me, no doubt. '

On the same event Klara Svensson (15-0) broke through to the top of women boxing. Using her jab, and moving effortlessly around the ring she forced her slower opponent Lucia Morelli (18-5) ti cover up completely until she was very close to Svensson. This made Morelli very inactive, throwing to few punches losing every round clearly. The judges had it 100-90, 100-91 and 99-91. WBC international light welter title on the line

In France, Megan Ouvrard (1-0-2) and Cyrielle Hebert (0-1-2) fought a rematch since earlier this month they had a draw. This time Ouvrard won on points after 4x2.

And in Mexico Yareli Larios (3-0) fought for the third time since August, winning a UD4 against Araceli Gualito (0-3)

Womens boxing. ha

I'm not personally offended, I'm just a more mature man than you I guess. I asked you nicely to respect the thread and not ruin it. Will you guys abide?

If the women's FOTY was scored 28-2 on all three judges scorecards its no wonder few can get into the sport as fans.

Good luck to whoever enters the ring whether they are a person with a penis or a person with a vagina, but the fact of the matter is the best thing woman's boxing could use is some influx of talent to give some depth to the sport. There just ain't enough quality female boxers squeezed into enough weight divisions to make things interesting on a regular basis. I believe we've lost 2 or 3 decent to top tier level female boxers to MMA already because even the women seemingly see more opportunity in MMA.

Sorta related, as a Claressa Shields fan she's one of the most talented female boxers I've seen, but there is basically not anything waiting for her in the pro game so she might as well try to win multiple Olympic medals or just get her college education taken care of with boxing & go into a more prosperous field of work.

I am kind of biased on what is my FOTY, given my user name! Imagine Floyd fighting Maidana, only Floyd could barely move in the ring because of an injury ;)

I bet you are American right? You have little to no clue on whats going on outside your country when it comes to boxing. For example who is Oscar Ahlin...right! Even less when it comes to women boxing. The fact is that women boxing has more debt than WMMA by far. Women boxing has some problems in USA, but it is breaking ground in Mexico, Argentina, Germany and Scandinavia.

Holly Holm made a run for it, because Braekhus was chasing her. She "retired" from boxing to do MMA. as if its not possible to do both or something Fact is many do both to stay active, doesn't mean any sport has lost any fighters!

I have been somewhat curious about women's boxing.
I rarely see any fights covered anywhere. Except for back when Laila Ali and Christy Martin were around.

Here's a few questions for you 1LadyB:
-What's the state of the female heavyweight division?
-Are there more knockouts in the upper weight classes, as in male boxing?
-Who do you consider the All Time P4P female fighter?

You're kinda just saying words without hitting on my major point, a lack of female boxers. So you're saying there are hundreds & hundreds of unreported female boxers in Mexico, Argentina, Germany & Scandinavia?

Randomly who's your top ten for Cecilia @ 147? Who is Cecilia's biggest threat @ 147 or any other division in your opinion?

The state of female heavyweight division is bad, really bad! No denying that.
When Laila Ali, Anne Wolfe, Natasha Ragosina was fighting the heavier weight classes was wastly more avtice. Now the lower weights are taking completely over.

I dont really know if there are more knockouts in the higher weightclasses, but I doubt it. Its generally low compared to male boxing. But the build up of excitement, who will win, what will happen, especially when your a fan of a specific boxer, is the same!

Again, given my user name, there is really no question who I consider to be All Time P4P women boxer! Cecilia Braekhus is continuously fighting top fighters every time. She has been considered by most of those who follow women boxing the best, since her win against KO artist Anne Sophie Mathis. With the win, she took the crown from Holly Holm who is 1-1 against Mathis. A rematch between Braekhus and Mathis will most likely happen some time in the future.

Cool thanks! :)

Just glancing at the BoxRec female rankings, I noticed that there are some fighters with pretty high KO%, and others with very low.
But yeah that's cool that there are good matchups, talented and skilled boxers too.
Too bad it's not very big over here in the US. Maybe it will be some day?

Thanks again for your reply.

Of course there is a lack of female boxers, but the top is not as bad as some claim to be. Using that logic you must highly question MMA since Ronda uses 16 seconds to get her nr 1 contender out?

The only girls left I wanna see Braekhus fight at 147 is Noni Tenge, Layla McCarter and Tori Nelson.

Given that Braekhus has announced she is going to go down in weight sooner or later. This is my list!

1. Erica Farias
2. Layla McCarter
3. Noni Tenge
4. Tori Nelson
5. Delfine Persoon
6. Ana Laura Esteche
7. Klara Svensson
8. Amanda Serrano
9. Diana Prazak
10. Svetlana Kulakova

Braekhus Vs Farias or Persoon at 140 (or a catchweight of say 138) would be interesting

Anyone who watches girls hurt each other is a sick individual. Real men want to nurture and project women.

Amateur female boxing is acceptable, but I'm not that interested. Katie Taylor is exceptional but on th whole it just does t interest me.

I wonder how Katie Taylor would fare turning pro?

I dont have a clue about womans boxing TBH,im all for it though,

I don't think there's anything wrong with women boxing. So what?

My friend fights as a female Thai boxer. I'll go and support her every time. I'm proud of her and she doesn't need protecting. Some guys I know who fight need protecting because they're idiots and they lose. It's up to her.

Generally the fights between guys are better though... Just a better standard in general. But in the Olympics I really enjoyed the ladies contests. The UK and Ireland girls certainly didn't need any home cooking to win their medals, unlike their male counterparts.

If there's any good fights between women stick up some links and I'll check them out.

When women's amateur boxing first started in the 90's, I was against it. I ended up being a R/J at the 1st Women's world championships in 2001. I noticed the women had very good technical skill but no power. I then coached a heavyweight women to a US national championship. She had power and could hit but without Olympics, she moved on with her life. She would have been a good pro but not enough opponents to bother sticking around. Fast forward to 2014, in the amateurs where I coach, women have become very exciting to watch and now they are learning how to sit down on punches and bang. I was recently at a multi nation tournament in Finland that had one weight class of women and they were some of the best fights with hard punching. I am now a fan of womens amateur boxing but I have not seen much of womens pro boxing. Women like a Katie Taylor and Claressa Shields will make more money in the amateurs then fighting pro from what I know. Maybe one day that will change.

I doubt Persoon would wanna leave her WBC lightweight title and go 2 weight classes up right away. That fight is a little more in the future, but definitely something I wanna see

Regarding Braekhus vs. Farias that fight is already in motion. But not sure if it will be a WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF fight at 147 or a WBC at 140 yet.

handsofstone wrote:I wonder how Katie Taylor would fare turning pro?

I think she would be great in the pro as well. I have no idea if she got what it takes, there is some differences. But she does not lack any specific qualities that I have noticed. She would be the Rigo women boxing

She was already considering it this year because she was not looking forward to the olympics. The IOC are, like always, discriminating women. So I have no doubt it will happen, but most likely after next olympics.

The latest fight between Breakhus and Retzke is not on youtube yet, I can post it when it is.
But the fight between Braekhus and Ivana Habazin was also very good. It was the unification fight that crowned Braekhus the undisputed welterweight Queen. Habazin was a major underdog but did surprisingly good.

I have a GIRL I plan to bring into it. JOSIE SANSEVERINO. She is 34 years old. Punches very hard. From Hartford, CT.

No clue what this means. Sure there are some good female boxers. What I'm saying is there is lil depth. And idk wtf Ronda Rousey has to do with this. Ronda is just a badass. She's basically the MMA version of Mike Tyson. She's too good & destructive for her competition. Cecilia is doing the same thing basically she just dominates by barely losing a round over the distance of a fight. Again I don't really understand the reference in what I was talking about though.

I'll check out some of those girls.
