New AIBA rules

[Sharla]

This rule really chaps my ass because I'm a slow starter and I get stronger as the fight goes on. Four rounds are good, but I'd like to see 3 x3s. I guess the gym is the only place I'll do that.

Same here - i think i'd get more out of myself in a longer bout - wouldn't suprise me if it was that way for a lot of female athletes.

We are less explosive than men but the difference in endurance between men and women is a smaller percentage than in power.

We are probably more suited to the longer bouts than the shorter ones if you actually look at our physical make up. Much more able to stick at a high tempo (enjoyable to spectators) for an extra round or minute than we are able to KO someone in the first.
