    She does nothing for me and will do well in a women who look like men competition.

    When the self proclaimed "GWOAT" (guffaw!) gets beaten by Savannah, one presumes that with 2 wins this elevates Savannah to the position of "GWOAT".

    Seems fair.

    I think Savannah gona win. Both are awesome though, but i just think Shields overrate her skills abit and that Savannah style seems very effective and devastating. Let the best woman win!

    I don't follow women's boxing but why is Shields considered the GWOAT? Is she really?

    Serrano is 44-1-1 (30 KOs) and a seven-weight world champion and she moved up through the divisions

    Number of registered female pros in the divisions she won world titles in

    Super-flyweight = 118
    Bantamweight 145
    Super-bantamweight = 141
    Featherweight = 158
    Super-featherweight = 190
    Lightweight = 123
    Super-lightweight = 86

    Shields is 12-0 (2 KOs) and a three-weight world champion who moved down through the divisions

    Number of registered female pros in the divisions she won world titles in

    Super-middleweight = 20
    Middleweight = 28
    Super-welterweight = 50

    Only 98 spanning all three divisions

    Taylor is 20-0 (6 KOs) and a two-weight world champion and she moved up not down

    Number of registered female pros in the divisions she won world titles in

    Lightweight = 123
    Super-lightweight = 86

    The World Championships are just as difficult if not more so to win gold in as the Olympics because you're still fighting the same competition and it's six bouts to win gold as opposed to five

    Again, I don't follow women's boxing but the stats and the talent pools at the lower weights seem far more impressive and deeper

    So far, most voters who see it going the distance, favour a Shields victory. If it goes the distance I would expect to see a slower, diminished Shields in the second half of the fight as a result of several rounds of heavier punishment than she's ever faced before and therefore a Marshall points victory not unlikely. I expect Marshall's upcoming fight with Hermans to look similar to that against Rankin- broken down and stopped halfway through the fight or soon after, and like it underlining how much more dominant than Shields she is with the same opponents. However I believe Marshall is still improving significantly with every fight so her next two bouts could be shorter and more emphatic than I suggest.

    I see Marshall as another hyped boxer by British boxing fans.

    I think Shields beats Marshall easily, she is 2 times Olympic gold medalist.

    6 KO`s in 20 fights is awful, however 2 in 12 is even worse but I was really bad at maths anyway, neither of those two have good punch mechanics, Taylor has an amateur style and doesn`t sit on her shots, she`s always on the balls of her feet.
