Question
HEY MELANIE, I'M DANNY AND I'M IN LOVE WITH BOXING & BALLET(Believe it
or not!) AND I KNOW IT SOUNDS WEIRD, BUT THE MOST EXCITING THING TO
ME AT A BOXING MATCH IS THE FIGHTER'S CORNER WOMAN(If there is one..)
CHEERING ON HER GLADIATOR IN THE RING. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED WOMEN
WHO DIG BOXING AS A OUTLET FOR SPORT AND WHEN I WATCH BOXING ON
T.V. I'M ALWAYS WATCHING THE ONE OR TWO LADIES INTHE FRONT ROW
RINGSIDE SHOUTING OUT ''LET HIM HAVE IT CHAMP''!! ANY THOUGHTS?
THANK'S MUCH/ BOXING FAN DAN
Danny, I 'm not too sure why you want "thoughts" on this topic. Some women like boxing and others don't. Females are very involved in amateur boxing as officials and administrators, as well as friends and family of athletes. I think most women don't like pro boxing because they perceive it as violent and bloody (which it can become). I prefer amateur boxing because it's all about technique and skill.
