Boxing is a very rough sport. It’s been around even before the birth of Christ. It was depicted in ancient times to be a sport of men. The sport has been dominated by men ever since the sports was invented. But does that mean that women are ineffective and weak boxers? Let us examine the facts closely and see if boxing girls are really inferior boxers.
There are essentially four factors that make a great boxer. The first is the power behind each punch. Second, the speed or agility of the body. Third is the pain tolerance to take a punch from the opponent. The fourth is the ability to predict the next movement of the opponent will be and thus counter punch the enemy.
For the first key factor which is power, unfortunately, women are designed to be weaker than men given the same amount of training. But this does not mean than a boxing girl can not be stronger than a man. She can become stronger than a man through better and proper training regimen. What she lacks in genetics she can surely make up in hard work.
The second factor that is crucial in boxing is speed or agility. That is one aspect of boxing where a girl can train harder to be better at boxing. She can even surpass a man in speed if she trains right and regularly.
The third factor is pain tolerance. I believe this is an aspect where we can not judge or even fathom the pain tolerance of a girl (they are the once that give birth remember?). On to the next factor.
The fourth and the last factor is the ability to foresee or to predict the next move of the opponent. Now, this is a matter of experience and mental judgement. A boxing girl can definitely achieve the experience level of a male boxer because experience is only dependent on time and the number of fights she makes. As for mental capacity, this should no longer be questioned because females have proven time and again that they are as capable as men or even more capable in more than a few occasions.
So, we have analyzed the factors one by one, and led to a conclusion that indeed, boxing girls are not inferior to men and they can be as effective boxers as their male counter parts.
