Shields is very annoying but I respect that she did MMA at the peak of her career. It takes courage to possibly look bad and ruin your image/aura.
the fact she had to do MMA tells you everything about marketability in the US. I think Shields probably beats Marshall on points but I could be wrong. I sort of get why Shields is bitter. She a good boxer and she achieved a lot but made little money. What I can't stand is when she starts talking about knocking men out., she can't even knock out women. I seen her in fights against walking punchbags, land clean repeatedly and not put a dent in them. She a technically sound fighter but she can't crack a egg, yet talks like she some puncher
Thank you for posting that! I hadn't actually seen it. Surprised to see Marshall on her bike like that. I'm more convinced than ever that Shields will win - handspeed disparity is just massive. Having said that, if she opens up like that she may suffer a flash KD or two.
No problem Savannah is a completely different fighter now In this fight she used the American slick style to beat the American but I'm seeing an awful lot of Claressa fans (not aimed at you) who all of a sudden, ever so bizarrely, have a problem with that style considering they adore it when Floyd, Haney and countless other of their boxing idols fight that way
Just seeing how much **** Claressa is talking and how personal this fight is, I'm completely expecting her to just go out there and try to knock Marshall out. That's not gonna end in a W for her, I don't think.
She certainly will and it will end up as a one sided beat down. Don’t be surprised if Marshall quits as the going gets tough or gets stopped.
Well, she's a different fighter against plodding opponents who don't punch back, but I wonder. They've both certainly improved. Marshall's best weapon imo is her jab and understanding of space. Shields may try to swarm her again. Should be fun!
She makes them look plodding with her slickness and then when you add her bone crushing power into the mix they get outboxed, outfoxed, and knocked the fox out
Honestly I would be much more worried if it was Grandma Serge facing off against Claressa Shields thankfully it’s Savannah Marshall and she is going to get caned.
