Exactly. It goes to our regard for those who are defenseless. Even between women, its not by any definition of the word, "a fair fight." Boxing between men is a test of strength and courage. Between women, its simply a matter of watching to see who gets killed first. There are differences between the sexes and that's why this parody of a sport must be banned.

I love boxing but hate that so-called women's boxing is being ever more promoted. Women in tennis, basketball, soccer, and even karate at a very competitive level may not appear "lady-like" but at least they don't always appear to be dike-like.

Boxing becomes more dangerous with age. Hang up the gloves at 30 or at least 32. The ole brain and brain cage gets less resilient. Most punch drunk fighters stayed in way too long. It is interesting that Max Schmelling who died recently, did stay in broken nose ally way to long, due to post-war German economic necessity, and yet never suffered any visible ill=effects. But he was very fortunate in this and many other things.
