Thanks Yoitsdan + Mick,

I know guys like you mean well really and most of the time it's as you say social/ moral influences which make it difficult for you to watch women being hit. It's the same moral influences that serve to protect women in a lot of cases so it's not something I can really complain too much about.

I can see that they way a lot of guys are brought up it's hard to differentiate between the average woman being bashed in what should be a safe situation and two women who have trained to test themselves in the ring against another opponent the same gender knowing full well the risks involved.

I haven't seen the fight yet but I intend to watch it if I get hold of the video off of one of my friends.

And when I say I'm a small fighter I mean very small so thanks for the complement Mick but I think it's important to be realistic about the fact I'm a midget!
