I don't know about her being a "pioneer of women's boxing" but she was the first to pose in Playboy. Still, I feel she set women's boxing back by taking the emphasis off the fighting and putting it on looks. She kinda opened the door in a lot of ways to the objectification of females in the sport.

Wow...........

It was kinda like the 30 ton elephant sitting in the room. It doesn't sound right but it's true. I don't know too many female fighters that feel otherwise with her.

Foxy Boxing on Showtime late night wasn't half bad.


Oil wrestling was better though....LOL.

Foxy boxing was pretty awful but at least they were scantily clad.

Not so for regular bad women boxers.
