(MAY 10) Latest update on
worldwide female boxing this weekend. As I previous wrote a
month ago, that according to this weekend and many previous
weekends throughout the last year or two...we still are not
seeing the activity change much for the regular club venues to
feature female boxing, even though we are having some fantastic
high-profile bouts going on that are being televised and
showcased.
I went through Boxrec this weekend, looking at the worldwide
activity, and AGAIN....folks "it ain't much."
Many of the cards have NO WOMEN'S BOXING on the cards--and the
ones that do have the females featured, they are on the
undercard, four round bouts, etc.
