Default Female Olympic Boxer Hit by "Man" Gets a Broken Nose

I don’t understand how she always looks taller , broader and more muscular if they are all in the same weight class - unless she’s a weight bully

Nothing says female to me at all certainly not her stance nor gait or face


Weight bullies explanations below

The fact that a fighter can rehydrate and gain a large weight advantage prior to the fight is an intrinsic pitfall in the "day before" weigh-in system. As long as the loophole exists, guys will take advantage of it. The only way to avoid it is mandatory "day of fight" weigh-ins with an allotted amount of weight a fighter is allowed to put back on, or we go back to same day weigh-ins, which posed enough of a dehydration risk that they were done away with in the first place. "Day before" weigh-ins are perceived to be the lesser of two evils really.

"Weight bullies" are really just guys who are taking advantage of the weigh-in system's deficiency. They are, however, participating in a sport where every possible advantage is extremely valuable, as long as it can be legally obtained. While we as fans want to see these guys compete on an even playing field, in boxing that is definitely not always the case, or even a viable option.
