Ya, but isn't that what makes it entertaining?

Untill you've stepped through the ropes you've no right to say that, and male or female had you ever fought I wouldn't be reading a comment like that.

seriously, even if he hadnt stepped through the ring (and yes i have, many times), he has a right to say that. hes right in saying they have no technique, form, or strategy. it really is no fun to watch.

i find it interesting, but i do agree with the lack of form comment...technical issues aside, it isn't too bad.

No he hasn't a right to say it, 'nor have you. As far as Technique, form and strategy as concerned that depends on so many variables from the heart of the fighter herself, to her trainers, her Dojo (in the case my martial artists) etc etc..
Something I find with female's who may be thinking of entering the fight game, they don't come with any preconceived (sp'ing) idea's or false bravado typical of 90% of male fighters so given the right instruction they'll be every bit as good as watching two male fighters. Now don't get me wrong, you'll traval far and wide before you'll find big hitters in womens fighting, but you'll find a fighters who's given her all to enter the ring and should be shown the highest respect for it.

I'd love to know at what level have you guys fought, and why your experience in the sport hasn't taught you to show more respect.

Picked to represent Sweden vs Finland in Tai boxing. So my level was pretty decent.

I think some of Tyson´s fights are bad aswell, does this mean i show him disrespect bouncer? I dont understand why you are trippin over this...i have respect for people entering the ring but that dosnt mean i hafto enjoy the fight.

Hey I don't know why I'm tripping over it either, lol.. Hey I'm fighting this weekend, 26th. I'm up to my tits in ephedrine and winny, sparring EOD, cardio and circuit weights in the 'between days. chilling, stretching eating. I'll probably finish training Wednesday and start loading up on water and carbs. After the fight I start on my son again, he's 11 and is travelling to London with an Irish team in June..

Ok time to chill..
