    I wouldn't boil it down to "two women fighting". I think that's kind of disrespectful. I do wonder if this is gonna be as big of a moment as it would've been if this **** hadn't happened. I genuinely have my doubts.

    Thought I saw 15 September on Sky Sports. Perhaps I read it wrong. Will check.

    It's ****ed, but I understand the decision that was made. You don't know if people would've come to the fight now will all of this hullabaloo about the Queen going on. I mean, this is London. It's probably the city which is buzzing the most.

    I'd absolutely prefer this date. I feel like it would be more beneficial for everyone involved. The attendance might take a hit because it would be on a Thursday, but whatever.

    That’s a weird decision to move it a whole month??! Wtf?! Both boxers a top trained to fight right now, keeping this shape without over train will be a challenge, I actually feel sorry for them…

    The yanks held court for about 100years in boxing, youre losing the plot here. you think the yanks havent had decades of home advantages and bias. haha have a word with yourself sonny jim.

    but im not happy either about the decision to cancel.

    I feel like it should be kept in the UK because if Marshall wins, then she should have her moment in her home country.

    She doesn't deserve it, hasn't done much compared to Shields, plus i felt Marshall lost their amateur fight anyways.

    She was booted off TV in the US. She couldn't draw flies if she smeared herself in cow****.

    UK is the only place that will platform her and pay her, and that's only because Britain is ******ed.

    Perfectly said,

    Plus either one of them could end up injuring themselves with their second preparation & furthering the fight once more,

    Also they can end up being over trained when it's go time, many other variables, Not to mention the financial drain & loss along with all the time invested into the Event from the Pressers, Tv specials, Promo's resulting to a complete waste, so stupid.

    Yeah they need to try to move this to next weekend… a month is too long when your body is totally depleted already from having to make weight. They would have to basically hold their peak condition for a month.
