Marcus, there have been NO deaths in the USA from intergender fights in a ring. Period. It would have been big news here around the world (as Norm says) if there had been.
As I suspected, you have no facts to support either of your claims tot he contrary.
FYI: You Anne Wolfe was going to fight a man named Stephan Johnson here in the USA, until I persuaded her manager, (Brian Pardo) not to permit it. (not because Anne couldnt take this guy, or becasue it was "dnagerous" but because a possible loss would have ruined her possibly big money fight with Laila Ali-which sadly didnt happen.
As for the Phillipines, again I have to question the rumor you are repeating.
FYI: it wasnt until about 18 months ago that President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo approved the right for women to box in the Phillipines.
I know this because my partner who is president of our womens boxing org, (WIBA) Ryan Wissow had to lobby GMA and the Phillipine sports commission.
BTW, the two women who died in the usa in *boxing* fights (not KB) fights with other *women* were both wearing head gear and fighting with 16 oz gloves. so much for the safety freaks. Stuff happens.
imo, KB and MT is much safer than pro or am boxing because the blows are not so concentrated to the head, and the KB stances dont allow for the same leverge of punches.
I am getting tired of arguing with your irresponsible insistence on repeating unfounded rumors. Post again when you have some documented facts.
