After her knockout Saturday, women’s junior flyweight boxer Isis Sio has been placed in a medically induced coma, ESPN reported Sunday.

...

The 19-year-old was knocked unconscious after multiple hits to the head in her fight with Jocelyn Camarillo at the Orange Show Event Center in San Bernardino, Calif. Camarillo landed an early left hook and three more punches before Sio fell to the ground.

The fight ended after 78 seconds.

She received immediate medical attention following the knockout and was stretchered out of the arena before being taken to the Intensive Care Unit at Loma Linda University Health Medical Center. Sio could be seen convulsing as she was taken out, the first sign her injuries were more devastating than a typical knockout.

Sunday’s knockout follows another during her most recent match with Perla Bazualda on Jan. 30 after several crushing body blows.

She currently has a 1-3 overall record after falling unanimously to Jessica Radtke Maltez in her debut. Her lone win came against Katelyn Radtka.

Sunday’s result moved Camarillo to 6-0

I have no problem with women competing in women’s sports because they invoke the competitive spirit which is present in just about everyone of all ages and both sexes.

The draw is the fantasy that somehow a leading competitor in female sports is at the top of the game across the entirety of that sport, when that is patently false.

Female tennis players at the top of their game are barely able or unable to even return the serves of top male players. Top female marathoners finish at best 10-15 minutes behind the top male marathoners. Female hockey players cannot skate as fast, as powerfully, and cannot shoot as hard or as accurately as male hockey players can, and are unable to withstand the physicality that male players have to routinely withstand and overcome. Female basketball players simply cannot compete in speed, agility jumping ability shooting ability, or any other aspect of the game that might apply.

Females have the same high competitive drives, but they will never, ever be the top competitors against men, and that is just biology at play. And it is not right to deny women to engage that competitive drive in some way, hence women’s sports, in which the top metrics of female performance exist far below the top metrics of male performance.

But female sports do allow females an outlet for the competitive drive, which is a good thing.

The thing is, for those who do it overtly and with purpose in the war against masculinity of any kind, it feeds the delusion among feminists that they can do everything a man can do, and more. Kind of like the pathetic “Ginger Rogers could do everything Fred Astaire could do, and she did it backwards wearing high heels!” trope. I say and more, because they claim women can do the things physically that men can do, but men cannot do the things physically that women can do.

It is silly, but the purveyors of that fantasy, the ones you see in nearly every movie made now (that a 110 lb woman can overcome ten physically fit and trained male opponents coming at her at once) is what they are pushing, and there are many females who buy into it and believe it.

Rarely do you hear a top female athlete unequivocally state she cannot compete directly against men. It does happen, but rarely. They like pushing the fantasy, and many females are happy to let that settle as “proof”.

The proof is, if people want to watch top levels of performance in basketball, soccer, or any other professional sport in which there exists a professional league, people who spend money are going to spend it to watch men complete unless they have a vested interest, like a relative or acquaintance who is in competition, or...they are feminists who want to propagate the fallacious mindset that there is nothing a man can do that a woman cannot do.

I don’t know if it is a “nice” fit for men.

But boxing is certainly a form of combat, which men are suited to by biology and temperament.

It is what testosterone does to the male body that is missing in female athletes, the biology of it that is exemplified in boxing.

That does not mean boxing is a “nice” fit for men, but it is a better fit for men that it is for women. Women bring things to the “Table of Life” that men do not, and vice versa.

If Ms. Sio survives, she should take up badminton.

I have worked a couple of times in MMA matches , not the top tier ones mind you. Saw two women , both came out to Mexican mariachi music. One shorter stockier, the other, tall, bean people skinny girl , light skinned, frizzy hair in corn rows.

First two rounds the tall girl was getting a beat down, eye puffed out .
Third round tall girl gets the other gal folded into the fence , all the stocky girl could do was try to block, she had no leverage for a punch.

Tall girl just pummeled her into submission, the winner , puffed eye and all.

Same event , guy had his cheek laid open, like a flap. He was down for a considerable time.
He said he was going to decline medical attention.
The medic or whomever in charge said BS !
You’re leaving with medical, I don’t care if you’re in cuffs when you do. That was the last time I worked that type of event.

This critique is not anti-Female. It is anti-Female in combat.

I say "combat" when it comes to boxing, even though it is a sport, but with respect to females in actual military combat, this is the best article on this subject. It was written by a female Marine. It is VERY well written and unsparing.

LINK: Women in Combat - The Question of Standards

There are AMERICANS who are pushing this agenda of putting females into active combat with no regard to national security, battlefield readiness, or the lives of the men and women who will be sacrificed when the bullets begin to fly.

The sad thing is, until Hegseth became Secretary of War, most men in the military were bending over backwards not to have their voice heard saying: "This is a bad idea. We cannot integrate women into combat units without severely degrading readiness and the ability to perform the mission." They were refraining from saying this aloud because the leadership would surely mark them as unsuitable for promotion.

The author's (Jude Eden) presentation is on target. I see these as the money passages from her article:

---

"...Meanwhile, the argument to maintain the combat exclusion makes itself easily in every aspect.

Including women in combat units is bad for combat, bad for women, bad for men, bad for children, and bad for the country.

The argument for the combat exclusion is provable all the time, every time. Political correctness has no chance against Nature. Her victories are staring us in the face at all times.

The men just keep being able to lift more and to run faster, harder, and longer with more weight on their backs while suffering fewer injuries.

They just keep never getting pregnant.

The combat units have needs that women cannot meet.

Women have needs that life in a combat unit cannot accommodate without accepting significant disadvantage and much greater expense. Where 99 percent of men can do the heavy-lifting tasks typical of gunners, but 85 percent of women cannot, there is no gap women need to fill..."

---

That pretty much sums it up.

I also found this uplifting, because this Marine who wrote the article is a Marine, and has demonstrated and successfully argued that there is a role for patriotic, dedicated women who want to serve their country as she did, and her service means no less because she wasn't kicking down doors. She is an American Woman, and her heritage and ideals have more in common with the tough as nails frontier women who conquered this country with their men. She makes the feminists look like the petulant, spoiled, anti-American no-loads that they are. This sailor salutes her.

Ominous, because this movement, like the liberal cancers it shares all qualities with, is not going away. The linked article describes this perfectly, and why it is inevitable. Because military readiness and capability is being sacrificed on the altar of an Orwellian concept that men and women can do the same tasks exactly the same. This altar will run red with the blood of both men and women, and we are going to suffer lives needlessly ended, battles lost, and a national humiliation the likes of which we haven't seen.

It won't happen now, and it won't happen during some years of the peacetime military. But when we get to a point we are fighting an enemy who is going to be evenly matched with us, we are going to lose, because they cannot be stupid enough to follow the path we have. And when it happens, the people who will scream the loudest in protest, are going to be the successors to the people who made this all happen, since they will likely be kicking back somewhere, comfortable in their Monday morning armchairs, talking about how it wasn't the emasculation of the military combat units that caused this, it was that we didn't spend enough time, money, and effort to make it work.

Girls boxing, beating each other in the head, an indication of how depraved society is. The opposite of Christian femininity.

Sickness…

[dfwgator]

Even more depraved are the people who actually enjoy watching it.

I’m willing to allow one event of:

Giggling Laughing Hyena Kamala Harris vs.
Hillary Diane Jezebel Rodham Clinton

They can also have Democrats Sam Brinton and Rachel Levine
join them in a Democrat Team Tranny Smackdown

But only on Pay Per View 📺📺📺

So true and I'll repeat it as someone who studied the physiology,
women’s bodies ..... are not built to withstand violent fighting."

The entire point of the sport is to pounds someone’s head into there is enough damage or a disruption to the brain that they collapse. I think you have a very strong case.

I see Crappy Estimating has replaced Anno Domini. More's the pity.

There inlies what California did wrong. That should be a 45-60 day suspension. 45 days with no contact at minimum means no boxer would be approved to return to contact at five days after the end of the suspension.

There was an issue in 2018 when an Argentine boxer died in a contest he was not supposed to participate. That boxer lost in a weight-class title contest that was vicious, and a 45-day suspension was ordered by German officials. His management allowed him to compete in an Argentine boxing contest 40 days later, with authorities not recognising the 45-day suspension in effect from German authorities.

[GingisK]

I think you covered that quite well. You are right.

[GingisK]

You nailed it!

::Women fight all the time.::

Well, there are some trashy types that get into physical altercations, but most women do not do that.

I do not disagree with you about the value of knowing how to defend oneself. What I was referring to was fighting as a spectacle.

[Farmerbob]

Isis actually looks slightly more manish of the two. Both are small, 5’1”, and around 110lbs.

[Texas Eagle]

Okay. She cleans up nice.

[rlmorel]

Thanks. I hope you concluded that this is not simply a misogynistic rant on my part, but a well considered analysis of the biological differences that I have thought about over the years.

[GingisK]

Seemed pretty well thought out to me.
