Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Really Believe Savannah Marshall Stops Claressa Shields; We Should Do 2-Fight Deal

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There is only one fight, according to Eddie Hearn, that makes any sense for Claressa Shields to take next. Hearn hopes Shields' handlers agree to the two-fight deal he has suggested for the unbeaten three-division champion to face Savannah Marshall, the only opponent to defeat Shields as an amateur or professional. The 25-year-old Shields (11-0, 2 KOs) has not lost since Marshall out-pointed her, 14-8, at the AIBA World Boxing Championships in May 2012, three months before Shields won the first of her two Olympic gold medals.

Anybody that beats Shields will have to stop her. She has the work rate like no other

Savannah's got that Pop. "Pop-pop, Pop"!

Shields did call out Marshall, so let them fight. Not a bad fight for women's boxing.

Clarissa Shields was demanding 1 million to fight 135lb Taylor, Marshall is naturally bigger and she has a win over the former middleweight champ. That said, I have a hard time envisioning Shields taking that fight for less than 3-5 million or some other number that makes no financial sense...but whatever.

Back to the mythical match:
Savannah Marshall is not knocking Shields out. At best, Savannah could draw or possibly win by split. Clarissa will be there to the end and I'm not convinced out pointing Clarissa Shields is realistic.

Hopefully this can be the fight that takes Shields to the level that she wanted.

No one is beating Shields at the moment, no one in around her weight class.

No young Edward, she won’t. And here we see the infamous “I want options on any fighter who fights on of mine on dayzin....I want to control their careers” Edward Hearn special

$300k for a female boxer is good money. Plus a 2 fight deal, she could probz negotiate 50 - 100k more if the fight is big enough. should be 50/50 first fight and 60/40 rematch for the winner. Similar pay structure to fury joshua.

Shouldn't we start calling Edward Rematch clause. Its not sport & I'm sick of it holding up every division he has a toe in.
