Im not young and its not like i dont have respect for the ladies. Has nothing to do with that. But it has everything to do with a gyms stigma and the ambience there.
I didnt want to turn it into a my gym is perfect everyone is equal. That is 100% bs. Like i said i know there are good female fighters. Hell some might be pro. Thats great. But the minute a guy drops her with a well placed straight right he will be crucified. It probably wouldnt even be at full power either. I dont care how good the female fighter is, if a well placed shot from an inexperienced fighter lands on her chin she is going down. Then what? Oops? Good job? No, he will pretty much be labeled as a woman beater. And asked why was he going so hard to begin with? When in all reality he may have slipped her jab and caught her blindly with a right hand or a left hook. Men and women have different upperbody strength, thats been proven.
As far as younger guys are concerned, if they start cracking you just return the firepower. Sparring is for learning purposes, if they are going for a KO to look cool im going to protect myself. If that means i need to throw a left hook to the liver near 100% or an uppercut to the breadbasket so be it. Young guys are always looking to impress. I wont be a victim of that.
Im 32, ive been around, seen alot. And i try to avoid bad situations. All im saying.
