A lot of pressure on zepeda to look good tomorrow. Could be fighting for one of those vacant titles soon.
It’s funny how womens boxing is now being sexualized at the weigh-ins. I guess Mia St John was doing in the late 90’s, but she was one of the very few. Womens boxing has been around a long time, far before Christy Martin exploded on the scene in the mid 90’s, but these broads were not trying to promote or get by on their looks. These women looked like they worked on the docks or were auto mechanics or Iron workers. They were flat out brawlers. Now it’s two fold; the quality of womens boxing has gotten much better along with an emphasis on physical appearance. For me personally, yes-it certainly spices up the weigh-ins, but I still have very little interest in watching womens boxing.
One of them does look like a dock worker.
Yeah, maybe she does, but not like the female boxers in the late 70’s and 80’s. These broads were missing teeth, had shaved heads, mullets or some kind of punkrock coif. They prideded themselves on looking as unattractive as they possibly could. I boxed as a kid in the early at 80’s at a PAL gym. A female boxer took over the program. She was some kind of womens world champion and I was pretty amazed and curious about her. I remember thinking “everything about her says man, except I do believe she is in fact a woman”
Need more fights in Commerce Mr. Golden Boy Sir. Peace.
