It's funny, today we'd look at female boxers applying makeup and cry 'exploitation' or 'sexism', but you have to hand it to them: to step into a ring, beat the crap out of a another woman for three rounds, take said beating, and still take the time to look great while doing it is not so much objectified as it is dignified.

In the United Kingdom, women boxed as far back as the 1720s, and those fights could often be as bloody and brutal as the men; but it wasn't well documented because the women were often very poor.

Why the hell do they need makeup? It's gonna get messed up.

I don't know if they're that talented. I didn't see them try to dodge one punch through out the entire fight.
