Learning The Ropes

Long before the Giants, Niners and Warriors began filling local stadiums and arenas, San Francisco's sporting spotlight was cast squarely on the boxing canvas. From the bare-fisted brawls of the Gold Rush days until recent prize fights, it was a man's world all the way. About the only way a woman could get into the ring at all was to put on a skimpy bathing suit and parade about between rounds. But thanks to a handful of tough young ladies like Melissa McMorrow, boxing as a pastime for women is starting to fit like a hand in a glove. Take a look at what the life of a female boxer is like. Her story is sure to knock you out.
