  Again: it’s not that cut and dried. In the same weight classes, men and women are much more competitive. When you look at weight classes for women versus the weight classes for men, you see much broader range of weights for men, e.g., 51-57kg for men, and 50-54kg for women. My bet is that, all training being equal, you’d probably see very little variation between men and women for a 50kg boxer. (But fewer women take up boxing in the first place, and they get into boxing later in life. So it’s difficult to compare.)

  There are def. differences, but those differences get really hard to nail down and assign definitively to one gender or another when you’re looking at a micro level. Neurobiology isn’t a simple, middle-school level subject.
