speaking as a hobbyist. I have considered the fact that yes boxing is dangerous, any blow to the head could kill me. But you don't REALLY think about it. If you thought about the risks you wouldn't get behind the wheel of a car, so in that respect I agree. I hold no personal grudge against anyone I train with but it's different in the ring, you hit me I want to hurt you bad. All that stops when the buzzer stops. It's like flicking a switch. Some people find that easier to do than others.

For most women involved in combat sports, unless you're some rough arse council estate/trailor park scratter, unlearning the mental conditioning of 'girls don't fight', takes some time to overcome. Of course dealing with that genie when it's loose is your problem.

I consider myself nice, doesn't mean I won't punch you in the face. Nice has nothing to do with it.

I'm rambling, I'll shut up now
