The thing I do find most absurd on the topic of whether women should fight or not,
is the fact that it is illegal in one of our states.
Think about it for a moment guys, that to me is very unfair.
A case where our government feels that it has the right to make that decision for individuals by restricting womens Boxing and Kickboxing altogether. How on Earth can they justify this?
I guess they feel that women just don't have the wisdom to decide for themselves what is and isn't a safe sport to participate in.
On the topic of whether I like watching women fight?
To be brutally honest, the large majority of the female fights I've seen in Melbourne, I wouldn't pay to see as a main event. Mostly because these majority of fights have been pretty wild and scrappy.
Now, I'm not suggesting that this is all that women are capable off. Not at all. I've seen Laura Skinnner fight several times, and I expect no less of her technically than I do of say watching Jenk Behic fight. It's just that the fights I'm talking about have been pretty poor as compared to male fights simply because the girls just didn't have the ring experience, through no fault of their own, just seems a lot more difficult for the female fighters to get matched up because of the small pools of female fighters to choose from. If they had the opportunity to fight more often, and if I got to see two well matched female fighters with 20 plus fight experience, I'm certain that I would then happily pay to see a female main event card. I have seen a female boxing demo bout in Melb that would have mad a lot of male fighters with equal experience envious of these girls slick hand skills.
I wanted to name other female fighters that have impressed the hell out of me, but unfortunately I can't remember their names. One a QLD girl who's trained by her husband- awesome knee fighter. I can't remember these girls names, because they don't get the regular exposure. I also cant remember the names of dozens of male fighters either whom I've only got to see fight once or twice.
