Whenever I see something like this I get flashbacks from Million Dollar Baby. Boxing is a dangerous sport.

I will never understand female boxing.

Is it just me, or do you also feel that something is wrong with women boxing? I do not like seeing any women getting hurt, it just makes me feel very protective...
TSRnow
Ouch... I wouldn't want to be in her shoes...

The only question I have is why? http://www.unp.me/f44/womens-boxing-is-awful-104214/ Pictures like these are shocking...

I also don't agree with women's boxing - it should never have been made an Olympic sport. However, check out Shizu-chan and I'm sure she could probably kick most bloke's butts - mine for sure! Scary... http://english.kyodonews.jp/news/2012/05/157968.html

Yeah I'm sure they need your protection and appreciate your concern..

Not really no.. I mean, I have a problem with boxing in general, in the way that I don't like it... I would rather watch almost any sport over boxing. I don't enjoy seeing to PEOPLE punch each others lights out...
So whats the difference if its men or woman?

Nice, I see we got a group of sexists on the board today. :) Yeah, I bet these poor, delicate female boxers really wish the chauvinists would save them from the scary ring...
Oh wait, what I meant to say is that these women could kick the butts of everyone here, and they're probably sick to death of your sexist rhetoric.

GettIng brain damage looks painful....

Women should not box. Neither should men.

I will never understand BOXING as a sanctioned "sport". In this day and age where sports-related concussions are a major concern, here we have a "sport" whose only goal is to cause enough damage to the opponent's brain that the opponent is rendered unconscious. That is the mother of all concussions and this "sport" intentionally strives for it. Despicable.

that's not very lady like, girls.
who encouraged you to partake of this barbaric sacrament?

IMHO, any kind of female wrestling, fighting sport should include a mud pool.
