    I think it will go the distance I see Shields running for her life and losing a decision and they she will try and claim robbery.

    Don`t know about that but you might have a power advantage cause I hit pads harder than Shields punches in the ring, she still has that amateur way of hitting.

    Shields is on a mission of getting KTFO by Marshall in a few months. Mission will be completed!

    I know you're a smart guy who can read a matc really well. Now, forget Shields is Shields and Marshall is Marshall.

    Now watch this, judge solely on Shields style.

    Then watch this, and judge solely on how easily Marshall dismantles someone with a damn similar style.

    If this were Kirk's League and they were both no name nobodies that I love to fill the Fight Schedule with. Who would you really pick?

    Marshall has not fought the same level of comp as shields has you see this with big punchers all the time in boxing they dominate overmatched opponents with power until they step up in class and someone can either neutralize it or take it and then they look lost with no plan b it becomes a boxing match and they lose. Hammer is better than anyone Marshall beat and shields dominated her. I'm not saying it will be easy but shields should be the favorite in this fight based on that alone. I've always said power is overrated skills aren't. If Marshall proves me wrong I'll admit it and give her and her fans their due, sorry I just don't see it.

    Then you don't know what you are looking at. Marshall is nothing like Smith who stands straight up with hands high and no head movement and no counter punching. Smith is basic in comparison. If I was to compare a female boxer to Smith I guess it would be Hammer not Marshall. Just because both are tall doesn't mean they fight anything alike.

    You saw what Shields did to the unbeaten Hammer! The beating Marshall is going to get will be worse. She is going to get good Michigan style and the Gypsy style Peter Fury is giving her won’t work against the skills imparted from theMid West USA by the grand wizards of Michigan were the best boxers and trainers come from.

    Except Marshall also has the skills and isn’t just a brute who relies solely on power, not sure her power helped her in the amateurs.

    Not based on the Hammer fight as I said Marshall fights nothing like Smith or Hammer. Shields might win but she's going to have a far tougher fight on her hands against an opponent who can counter, who can fight inside and who can genuinely punch hard.

    Shields is going to have to use her speed, beat Marshall to the punch and then be gone before Marshall can counter. If Shields wins it's not going to be a dismantling of Marshall more a diffusing, taking away her height, counters and power. Carefully out boxing her and ensuring she doesn't get into a fight where she's trading. If Shields trades with Marshall she'll get taken apart. If anyone can do it to Marshall it's Shields but I still think Marshall will get to her and land enough on Shields regularly to break her down and take over the fight.

    Marshall is going to take a sustained beating and I am predicting by the time Claressa dismantles she won’t fight again!

    Hannah Rankin (born 21 July 1990) is a Scottish professional boxer and bassoonist. She held the WBA female super-welterweight title since November 2021. She has also held the IBO title in 2019 and challenged for the WBA female super-middleweight title in 2018; the unified WBA, WBC, and IBF female middleweight titles in 2018; and the WBO female middleweight title in 2020. As of October 2020, she is ranked as the fifth best active female middleweight by The Ring and sixth by BoxRec.
    Rankin made a second attempt at world honours on 17 November 2018, against two-time Olympic gold medalist and reigning unified WBA and IBF female middleweight champion, Claressa Shields, with the vacant WBC title also up for grabs. The bout took place at the Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas. Shields was originally scheduled to face undefeated WBO middleweight champion Christina Hammer, who pulled out due to illness. Rankin suffered the third loss of her professional career via unanimous decision.
    On 31 October 2020 in her 9th professional fight Marshall became the WBO female middleweight champion with a TKO victory over opponent Hannah Rankin at Wembley Arena.

    How many of Shields opponents have taken a sustained beating?
