(FEB
23) Today in the
Las Vegas Sun there was an announcement that the
Mississippi Athletic Commission, has
approved of world champion Ann “Brown Sugar” Wolfe to
fight a male boxer. There were indicators that this may
be a "history first" in the United States, and that it will be a
“real” fight.
In October 1999, the State of Washington
approved Margaret McGregor to fight Loi Chow in a four round
bout in what was sold to the public as a “real” fight.
McGregor-Chow fought under the women’s rules. (two minute
rounds.) It was billed as a “FIRST-EVER”. After the
fight took place, and McGregor had defeated Chow with a
unanimous decision, the fight was reduced to an "exhibition."
As an "exhibition" the fight was simply added to the many
male-female bouts that have occurred in history of women’s
boxing. Now, if Wolfe fights a male, will this fight go by the
"Women's Boxing rules."? Or will they fight under the
“men’s boxing rules” ? What ranking system does one use
for these carnival matches?
