I'm pretty sure it will be exciting. Women tend to really go for it (eg Taylor/Serrano) which is one of the genuine pluses of women's boxing.
Is there not a point at which Shields' kind of confidence tips over into delusion which tips over into a terrible gameplan? Like believing that...
I agree that Rankin is very limited. But she is tough and no-one has beaten her up like Marshall.

Reporters and interviewers endlessly bring it up whenever the topic is Shields/Marshall. Savannah is constantly being asked about it. She does...
In terms of pure quality Savannah Marshall is the best, most complete woman fighter I've seen. Katie Taylor- great boxer tho still amateurish in...
I don't have a Sky subscription- so does this mean I can watch this on a 24 hour Sky pass for £12? Going by YT boxing channel discussion there is...
