    Watching a fight:
    Kate Sandells vs Kirsty James (stand up only) they just go crazy on each other. Literally beating each other constantly, it's a lot different from the men's stuff, who tend to back off and lay in a couple combos over just slugfeast. It's weird.
    Opinions?

    These 2 were just crazy, i don't think grappling was allowed (due to boxing gloves, don't tend to accomidate it).
    It seemed a lot more savage than the men's fighting. Not worse or any less technically, they were literally toe to toe barely giving ground and kicking/punching each other.
    Dunno about the fight records, I had to go check on my neice when they announced them.

    A lot of womens fights are like that.

    This is cage-boxing (fairly rare) , so pretty much the standard boxing rules but just held in a cage. Though the fight is logged on Sherdog which must be a mistake - they don't normally show non-MMA fights on there for obvious reasons.

    Didn't think it was either particularly impressive or poor - fairly exciting fight between (what looks to be) two decent but inexperienced boxers - they definitely gave it their all. Wouldn't say there's anything inherently different in here just because it's girls.
