I knew a girl that was a boxer. She never wore a skirt either, they just wore the normal shorts.

When you think of the word skirt, apparently your mind immediately goes to office wear.

I wear these small spandex runners skirts (panties built in) that look great with a runners bra. I can see boxers wearing that in the ring. I don't see it being sexist.

Something like this (a little shorter)

In the tradition of the sport..... I believe female fighters should be able to wear boxing trunks. That's just my personal opinion. I know that what I do in the ring, I would not be comfortable wearing a skirt. I have been knocked out and laying there in a skirt would have just made it worse for me.

For me this is like telling the US women's soccer team that they have to play in skirts because they are female.

When guys have to wear skirts as well, I won't see it as being sexist.

Well, we can agree to disagree.

Change can be good. It was the U.S. soccer team that made it acceptable for a woman to be seen in public in BRA only.

We don't have to agree.

This one I don't like

Somehow I just can't picture me in that!

Now, Inked....just to be clear, I am not confusing boxing with WWE!

Inked_Trinity · 10-28-2011, 12:59 PM

This is what I wear......

My boss worries about the wrong fuckin' things..Unreal, get a fuckin' grip already!

Makes mountains out of molehills... (rolling eyes)

The things she should worry about and/or take into consideration, she doesn't..

And to think they get paid huge salaries through us small people making the decisions and getting the job done.

It's bloody ridiculous to make female boxers wear skirts. Surely it should be upto the individual what appropriate clothing they should wear in the ring.

I'd be interested to know what our local lass and rather well known boxer (now promoter) thinks about this.

Why stop at mini-skirts? Many people consider bikinis perfectly reasonable, non-sexist attire for females in combative sports.

Maybe the next step would be to broadcast women's fights in slow motion.

"By wearing skirts, in my opinion, it gives a good impression, a womanly impression," Poland coach Leszek Piotrowski told BBC Sport. "Wearing shorts is not a good way for women boxers to dress.

Apparently this is a big deal in some countries.

It's a huge debate. I know the female fighters at my gym are pretty hot over it!

I TOTALLY understand your position. Others didn't see the rep comments we sent to each other.

You should be allowed to participate in that very physical sport without having to worry about a wardrobe malfunction.

And all should know the respect I hold for you friend

Thank you for the wonderful debate today!
