It’s a perfect storm of momentum, timing, star power, and context. Given the complex politics within the sport, a true one-vs.-two in boxing almost never happens, yet that’s what we’re getting. And behind the two fighters are a million miles of ground that had to be covered. Taylor and Serrano arrive at Penn Station on the backs of boxers like Lucia Rijker, Deirdre Gogarty, Christy Martin, and Laila Ali-who came before them and endured the dismissive attitudes toward female combatants for years, under much dimmer lights, with little fanfare, and for far less pay. Boxing has been surprisingly slow to embrace women. Slower than mixed martial arts, anyway, which over the past decade has discovered (and produced) the biggest female stars in combat. It took a big name-and a big event-to change the outlook in that sport, too. What this weekend’s fight really feels like is another historic headliner, UFC 157, which took place back in 2013. Olympic judo player Ronda Rousey headlined a pay-per-view in Anaheim for a promotion that had until then been off limits for female combatants. Two years earlier, in 2011, UFC president Dana White said in a now-infamous TMZ clip that we’d “never” see women competing in the Octagon. Yet after he saw Rousey win the Strikeforce bantamweight championship and prove she was a star with far broader media reach than anyone on his roster, he changed his tune. That night Rousey was facing Liz Carmouche, a retired Marine who is openly gay-another first in the UFC. Because the shine on Rousey was so bright, Carmouche (who is currently the flyweight champion in Bellator) received more exposure than ever before. Much like Conor McGregor would do with his opponents later on, Rousey helped turn Carmouche into a story. But it was a tricky spot for Carmouche to be in. She knew she wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for Rousey breaking through to the UFC, yet her task was to ruin everything she (and all the other women) had been working for by beating a potential transcendent star. A victory could spell doom for women’s future in the UFC, which worked as a strange paradoxical subplot to fight week that nobody wanted to look directly in the eye.Įven though there were a few tense moments when Carmouche got Rousey’s back, there was little reason to worry.

Rousey defended the title she inherited from Strikeforce, and she was being talked about, written about, and featured within media outlets that had never even sniffed the UFC before. She helped break a million taboos and stigmas that hovered over combat sports with a simple smile after obligingly trying to rip Carmouche’s arm off her body. Her first PPV did nearly half-a-million pay-per-view buys, and she was off. By the following year, she’d transcended the sport and opened the floodgates for female combatants everywhere.
