Just heard on the news that the daughters of Ali & Frasier have signed for a match. Ali is a good boxer, but I haven't seen Frasier fight before.

To get back to *boxing*--Ali's daughter is a chip off the old block. She has a lot of talent. Unfortunately, there just aren't a lot of women in her weight class. I'll be interested in watching the fight.
Boxing is one of the few sports I watch. A lot of my friends get together regularly for fight parties. I get teased because I get into the fights so much  In recent months the two boxers I dislike the most both had their clocks cleaned--great fights!

Watching women fight is like watching men knit.

I have known a couple real fighters who were women and their natural style was far different than a man's style of boxing. My Mom once took a guy down who was giving my Dad a hard time after he had just had a heart attack and was in no shape to defend himself.
Dad said she never closed her fist she slapped him with a flat open hand backhand and forehand about four time so fast he never got his hands up to block her away. But first she had stepped on his foot hard to keep him from jerking away - pinned him down. By the time he overcame that she was done with him. He was not out like a light like a fist to the jaw - but he was so dizzy and disoriented he spun around and fell down. Seemed effective and she did not hurt her hands either.

Actually, jlpiece, watching women box is usually better than watching the men. Men boxers often spend a lot of time draped over each other (two reasons for this: to rest & to wear out opponent)--women don't. Men boxers often do not follow through, allowing their opponent to recover instead of following up a good blow with a combination--women go for the "kill." You rarely see women boxers retreating or having to "chase" their opponents around the ring (one recent bantam-weight fight I saw looked like a track meet. Boring.)
One thing though--for those venues that still use ring girls who carry the cards announcing what round it is--when women fight, it should be ring "men" wearing tight little speedos. Only fair.

Maybe Miss France should enter the ring.

Seeing people enter a ring and beat each other to a pulp with the audience screaming for blood is not a sport. JMHO. May as well bring back the christians, lions, bear baiting "fun".

But HEPburn, they weren't matched, I mean Bears and Lions, bigger, meaner and built in ripping and clawing weapons. Poor man, only thing in his favor.....No condiments!!

krs - Good guess but my Mom had this thing - She would not wear high heels. Thought they were silly. Low heal pumps and oxfords but no combat boots before you ask. No silver either - gold jewelry only. She would have gone nuts over the new titanium pistols they sell now that are so light. She liked a stub barreled 5 shot revolver with two solid brass pointed handloads mixed with factory ammo.

Did you know......
The first boxing match between two women was in 1876, yes, 1876. The prize to the winner was a butter dish.
Just one of those annoying facts that I learned somewhere and continues to spin around in my head, DRIVING ME ABSOLUTELY MAD!!!!!
