6. Girl in the Ring – This blogsite is not so much for a stylish blog, as a website to help publicize Jill Morley’s much-anticipated documentary about women boxers.

 

If you are looking for blogs by women who talk about the sweet science from the perspective of hauling themselves to the gym, here are a few Girlboxing has found around the web you might enjoy.

Girl.Boxer.Southpaw:  Girlboxing enjoys reading this blog.  It offers insightful and inspiring pieces on what it means to get up and train.  The link is here.

Binnie Klein:  Binnie Klein is a women after Girlboxing’s heart who wrote “Blows to the Head: How Boxing Changed my Mind.”    The link is here.

As for straight-up news about women in boxing WBAN – Woman’s Boxing Network is worth checking out.  Do they report on all the regional fights or have all  the latest news all the time – not necessarily, but given their focus WBAN does a good job of keeping women’s professional boxing in focus.  The link is here.

Women’s Sports and Entertainment Network: This site reports on several different sports including women’s boxing.  A recent promotional piece on Alicia “Slick” Ashley’s upcoming January 13, 2011 fight caught my eye.  The link to the site is here.

Women Talk Sports – does a good job of reporting and publicizing a wide variety of women’s sports and sporting events.   The site also links to blog entries across the spectrum of women’s sports and does a fair job of reporting on women’s boxing and women’s MMA.  The site is comprehensive and worth checking out here.

Uppercut Magazine.com – Girlboxing came across this site on a recommendation.  It is fairly new and focuses on a range of boxing and MMA topics, however, it’s content includes a few nice pieces on the state of women’s boxing, giving it fairly equal play.  The link is here.

PS – Please pass along any blogs you like about women’s boxing in the comments field.
