So we now have women boxers having a go at each other! To me boxing is nothing more than ugly brutal macho behaviour, not worthy of being considered a sport, even less one for women. What's your view?
I can think of many who would be "at home" in a boxing ring.....some built for boxing and others that look as though they have been boxing all their lives.
Then there are the "feminine " women, look smart, smell nice and takes care of themselves....these women would never dain to enter a ring.
I don't particularly like boxing, but if women want to do it, then surely that's their choice. It's not a new phenomenon and there were female boxers in the 18th and 19th centuries. I've got a feeling it might even have featured in one of the early Olympics.
it's legally been around for a decade or so, and it really looks like a good sport for a girl to get into and show her agility, balance and concentration.
I'd far rather have it done in a controlled environment under proper rules and regulations than some of those ugly confrontations outside pubs and nightclubs in the early hours of the morning - females virtually as much as males.
I've never heard such a load of stereotypical sexist sh1te in my entire life. Why can't women box and still ' look after themselves'? There is no correlation that I'm aware of between a girl boxing and a lack of personal grooming- personally I'd hate one of Squad's 'little women' all perfumed and pointless with no more substance to her, women should be free to do whatever the hell they like and have the support of their nation when they win a gold medal at the Olympics, and the girl last night did indeed look fantastic didn't she dotty?
Each to their own, and good luck to the young lady who won another Gold medal for Team GB yesterday, she came over in iterview as a really pleasant lass, but it still doesn't endear me to boxing by either sex.
