Mikaela Mayer

I really wasn't really comparing the statistical likelihood of their (prospective in one case) triumphs- I meant comparable as contests propelling them to some kind of national stardom.

Raducanu's triumph was amazing- however it wasn't quite as unlikely as the stats made it appear. Raducanu hadn't come from nowhere- she had after all got to the second week (last 16) of Wimbledon just a few months earlier. The unprecedented Covid situation somewhat masked her true current standing.

i don't agree that Shields/Marshall is manufactured: easily the two best fighters in their division, both with some elite skills, great contrast of styles and personalities, both at their peak, compelling backstory... It's a mouthwatering fight- promotion or no promotion.

 

She entered Wimbledon as a wildcard and on the back of that performance she had a wildcard to the US open. She had not competed on the WTA tour prior to that win. Obviously you are not a tennis fan as you do not realise the magnitude of the victory and the significance of that. If you do not think the Sheilds v Marshall rivalry has been manufactured by both promoters then you have been caught hook line and sinker son.

 

Well done we have a winner!

 

I think of Women's boxing as another class, similar to weight classes. I wouldn't send in Savannah Marshall to fight Tyson Fury, but I also wouldn't send in Julio Cesar Martinez to face Fury either. There are at least 3 or 4 women boxers, off the top of my old head, who look pretty darn fundamentally sound to me. I could probably think of more if I tried. Mikaela Mayer is definitely 1 of them.

 

Mayer is one of the better boxers in the whole women's pool but my god she came across as properly obnoxious on social media at one point as was mentioned it was when her VS Terri Harper was being discussed.

 

Most the female boxer's are delusional and obnoxious on social media they have no idea that they can't box for **** compared to men LOL

 

Mayer impressed again.

Her va Baumgardner needs to happen.

 

It’s for inside footage of her training.

 

She's so bitter about losing that match lol

 

I like Mikaela, but both her and Baumgaertner were crap in that fight, it was really low level. The build up was great, but they are both poor. Easy wins for Serrano and even past it Taylor etc

 

I wanted Baumgartner to win but not like that - one of the very few warranted rematches to be made even if it was a stinker.
