    Wolfe-Ali should happen. Period. It shoud have already happened actually. Laila Ali just recently fought some green girl that she already disposed of and kod her again. A pointless mismath. Laila might as well call it a career if that is the kind of note she wants to go out on.

    I don't think there is any reason they can't box, but I just don't like it. Where some of them may lack the skills, they sure do have heart and have put a lot more into their fights than some of the fights between guys.
    But for me personally I don't like seeing women punch each other in the face. I don't want to come across as sexist but there are differences between men and women. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I did some mixed group training once and a girl was holding up the focus mits. Unfortunately she wasn't holding them properly and when I jabbed one (lightly!!) it kicked back and hit her in the face. I felt like sh*t for the whole weekend. Almost as bad as when a girl was sparring with me and sprained he wrist while hitting me when I covered up. Definetly a loose-loose situation.

    Its not like they are fighting guys. I am all for it, I think there are some good women fighters out there. Most arent very developed skill wise, its almost like watching the amateurs for men. But every once in awhile you get a girl that knows what she is doing and it is fun to watch her dismantle the unskilled opponent. I have yet to see a good war between women fighters, hopefully with some exposure and guidance, we will see some good "girl" fights in the future.

    Certainly not me. I don't follow any womens league in any sport, to be honest.. Never saw much of a point in watching physically far inferior athletes compete for far lower stakes.. Not trying to offend anyone, just my view.

    Gina....I am trying to remember where I seen her fight....Was it World Combat Leauge??...I know she was pretty tough and skilled...Not all over the place hoping to land something...She dominated the other girl something fierce
    Showtimes debut of EliteXC she fought on that card....
    Why would a women that looks like that wan't to fight?
    why would Oscar want to fight looking like he does?

    Can't get into it really, for the most part, maybe excluding Ann Wolfe, there just not explosive enough . Just doesn't interest me.

    I'm not the biggest fan of women's boxing,but watch it from time to time...
    But right now I'm totally crazy about it because of a girl called Susianna Kentikian aka KillerQueen...

    http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=292211

    She got a better ko(tko, yeah I know but still...) ratio than most men in this weight class...
    Really amazing to watch...

    Womens boxing is cool.... but I really don't enjoy watching it. If women want to box then fine, but I don't want to see it. EVER. If I want to watch women I'll watch something else. If a woman's boxing match was a good fight then I'll enjoy it like any other fight, but women's boxing, looks like women fighting. It's often hard enough getting a decent boxing fight with men.

    Why is Mary Jo fighting that short ugly guy with purple hair, is this a mixed boxing match?

    I am a small female fighter and to be honest I have to admit a lot of female fighters are not technically brilliant - but that goes along with the number of fights they've had. There are fewer female fighter than male so getting up a decent amount of fighting experience can take some time.

    I don't know if this goes for everyone but sometimes you can demonstrate a certain of skill in sparring and in your club but you still need practice in a competition situation to know how to put your best on display. It's too easy to get psyched out by the fact a whole heap of strangers are watching you. Beginner blokes can look awful too.

    Also I like watching smaller fighters coz they're fast and they are explosive when they know what they are doing. I have less interest in watching any overweight super heavy attempt to heave his fat rolls round the ring throwing a pretty small number of punches to KO another seriously overweight, less fit guy.

    Many guys don't like watching girls fight and that's fine. However, there is a market for it though so the very occasional time it happens it probably happens because it makes economic sense for the promoters. The money they make might partially go towards getting male fighters you would like to watch in for the next big show.

    Also guys often forget a lot of women learn a sport like boxing because they want a sport which will also improve their self defence skills. You could go to some Micky Mouse seminar for a few hours but if you get attacked 6 months down the track are you really going to remember anything you were shown or will you just worsen your own situation because you haven't been trained enough for your responses to be automatic and as powerful as they need to be.

    A lot of women who have had bad experiences might be terrified to walk down the street and to challenge themselves competitively in a sport like boxing/kickboxing/judo might be what they need to gradually get their confidence back. That's good for you guys especially if you think some are perve worthy otherwise they'd stay holed up in their houses and never venture out to flirt with you!
