Woman refs..........REALLY?
Don't know if this has been covered but watched Kovalev v Caparello last night and saw a female ref stewarding the fight. Its a first for me can't recall a fight reffed by a woman.
Is anyone worried about this?
Refs have a hard job and an important one. Knowing when to step in can be the difference between life or death. Not saying a woman is not up to it but boxing is a primal instinct sport can a woman recognise tell tell signs that fighters will give off when hurt?
haha
let the abuse begin.

Re: Woman refs..........REALLY?
From the psycho girlfriends who've given me a good kicking down the years, I'd say they know when they have a guy hurt.
Think it could be a good thing, the incessant nagging to stop holding might be more effective than the occasional warning. I have visions of Bhop turning round to the ref and saying 'ok, ok I'll fight clean just shut the f**k up, please'
That's my sexist rant of the week over.

Why not ??..... Could they be as bad as Joey Curtis and Lo Bianco...
Besides when Jo has always told me to " Break and step back clean" I've always obeyed !!

Cannot fathom why they couldn't be every bit as good/bad as men.
Though CJ Ross hasn't exactly helped further their cause as officials.......

2 or 3 major fights in a row her scoring was inexcusably shocking.
