Good luck Mayer, Shields & Marshall. You only have to keep yourself drained for 5 weeks and you're ready to go.
Which fighter will be more distracted because of the postponement? Shields or Marshall? I think it'll be Marshall.
The reason the card was being staged over here in the spiritual and ancestral home of boxing is because Great Britain is the epicenter of HW boxing aka the sport's glamour division, women's boxing and we can boast the greatest sports fans in the world, the largest attendances, and we create by far the best atmosphere at sporting events too. Nowhere else in the world even comes close to us in that regard. Had they staged it across the pond the venue would've either been empty or only half full and the vast majority of tickets sold would've been snapped up by our great have gloves will travel Brit sporting fans and the rest would've, as is so often the case over there, been comp.
If they held it in the States, Marshall wouldn't get a moments peace with people constantly asking: 'Savannah, who ya fighting?'
The BBBoC talks of their role in safeguarding fighters, yet are forcing all the fighters on this fight card to cut weight twice, restart their training etc, so basically messing with the boxers physiology, that is not safeguarding, that is risk taking and is unhealthy. It likewise messes with fighters and their teams lives and will cost them financially.
This would be much earlier in the day due to the time zone difference. Plus, the date they are proposing, Oct 15th, is already the same day as Haney vs Kambosos 2 and Wilder vs Helenius.
Man I was tempted to put Money down this week but as usual wasn't sure about the possible & expected corruption to endure hence the trepidation, Either way i expected Shield's to beat Marshall & now i'm not sure who will benefit the most with this extended time delay, It's sad how they've hyped up Marshall on a robbery win which took place many years back, Complete BS.
