NUance Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Last Tango in Cleveland BY SCOTT RAAB, Esquire Magazine, September 1, 2004 <snip> Truth is, she's faster than anybody I've been in with—by far. Truth is, she's taking it easy on me. Oh, she dug in on the body shot, but it was a left. Her head shots are aimed at my headgear, not my nose and mouth. She's a pro. She's being nice. Thirty seconds in, I throw a jab, followed by a right cross. The jab is short, the right finds her. She comes back with two rights, then the hook that turns my head, the one in the photo. That's when the ref steps in to give me a standing eight-count. What are you doing? I ask him. Truth is, I'm pissed off. I know I'm getting knocked around. The whole thing is embarrassing enough without a bullsh#t standing eight. She comes back jabbing. I try the right again, but she hooks her left over it before I can land, then shoots a fast straight right. Her hands are low, her eyes fixed on my head. No question: Wolfe can do anything she wants in there. Anything. And she knows it. She moves back to the ropes; I follow. Instead of throwing, I keep my hands up against my face. Where's the bell? She lands two more lefts downstairs, and when I try to crowd her up against the ropes, she lands a right to my ear and dances out—then turns, gives me four noogies on top of my head, and follows them with a just-for-kicks uppercut. At the bell, I plod back to my corner. LINK This is an old article from Esquire Magazine. The writer—who sounds like an unathletic doofus—gets his ass kicked by woman boxer. I’m pretty sure I could do better than that schlub. But I’m also pretty sure a real professional boxer like Ann Wolfe, or probably anyone in the Olympics, would kick my teeth in.

Minnesota_husker Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I would not last long. Ronda Rousey would break my arm. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 This is Ann Wolfe in round 1 of a title fight with undefeated Vonda Ward a couple weeks before the Esquire article. Paramedics strapped Vonda Ward to a stretcher and took her directly to the hospital. Quote Link to comment

Muck Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Could you beat a woman boxer? Depends on the rules. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Are you kidding? She would bash my face in. This!!! A trained boxer would bash my face in. And I don't want my face bashed in or my nose busted up. It's big enough already. 1 Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I wouldn't have a hope. I have never boxed, so I'm sure I would end up with a broken nose and a concussion. 1 Quote Link to comment
