Shanon Courtney vs Ebanie Bridge

Matchroom haven't treated Rachel Ball right.

She has had a long layoff with Covid / illness / injury and now will fight Courtenay who has fought twice since their first fight.

I don't know why she isn't on the Chisora Parker card.

 

Shes still recovering from covid. Nothing to do with matchroom.

 

Matchroom will still make her fight Courtenay next and not give her a warm-up fight

 

That will b her and her teams choice. She was scheduled to fight twice but things happen. I don't think she's even training at the moment. The Courtney fight will always b their as she holds a win over the champ

 

Just looked ball starts oxygen therapy tomoz to help with her recovery. 2 weeks she's on it. (From her twitter page)

 

Just watching this now, and I'll agree with everyone else who's said it's an entertaining fight. Two people who are really going for it.

Adam Smith keeps going on a out how Courtenay was a 'wild child' coz she liked a drink when she was younger, he'd probably describe me as an 'uncontrollable beast who could not be tied down in his cellar', so it's all relative I suppose.

Decent fight, all being told.

 

It will be interesting to see if she can fight again. Nobody knows the long term effects of covid, she might never fully recover to reach that standard again.

 

Povetkin a good example of a fighter suffering from Covid who certainly should never have been near a ring.

You are correct that there are some top sportsmen/women out there who caught Covid and will never get anywhere near fulfilling their potential now.

 

Especially not within a few months, it might take time to get where they once were, but then again, 41 year old puddings haven't got that luxury when loot's to be had.

 

Good fight tbf. Not a fan of womans boxing but fights like last night can only push it forward. Great build up

.even scrap...both woman giving it their all...no sign of quit in either.

People moan about the story telling but made that fight much more interesting. 25 pages of comments and very little of it was boxing analysis....from a group that just want it to be boxing with no storytelling. Surprisingly most of the comments we,re about everything but boxing. Good crack. But reckon a lot of people not being honest with themselves regarding wanting just no frills boxing.

 

Fingers crossed she makes a full recovery and gets the correct time to prepare for her opportunity.

 

Great Post.

The narcissistic traits displayed by some people these days can definitely help them, my managers at work are useless but their lack of self awareness has seen them go further than they ever should, there is no way that they would be where they were if they could see past the end of their noses.

 

Bridges won't get another title shot, that was her ceiling.

 

You obviously have no grasp on the business of boxing.

She might get one in her next fight.

 

Calm down.

I don't think she'll be getting one in her next fight, she'll need to be built back up with knockover jobs.
