Exactly. You have to feel sorry for the fighters. I think the biggest problem is the inconsistency between the AIBA’s and the IOC’s rules .
But , although she’s a female, it is very dangerous to go into a boxing ring with high testosterone levels . It’s not like Caster Semenya running around a track. That poor woman couldn’t hurt anyone.
But these people are punching each other, very different.
However, call me an old fashioned miserable twat, but there is a simple solution to all of this.
I’m sorry , but I think Women’s boxing should not even be a thing!
The difference in standard makes it dangerous in itself. There are one or two decent skilled boxers, and the rest are fucking garbage. And I have to say that anybody that likes watching 2 women smack the shit out of each other needs to have a look at themselves.
