Comments Thread For: Savannah Marshall Believes Claressa Shields Fight is Closer Than Ever

[True-Boxing-Fan]

Why couldn't Savannah Marshall win any Olympic gold medals? Claressa has two.

She didn’t need to win two gold medals. Instead she beat Shields who has two gold medals in the amateurs.

Maybe she just caught Shields when she was inexperienced. Or on a bad day.

Because winning Olympic gold is the ultimate goal of any amateur and Marshall didn't win any.

She has no choice

Exactly everybody thinks that because their promotionally aligned now it will definitely happen. But not unless she's more reasonable. If Sky with Matchroom weren't hitting the spot, then Sky with Boxxer have no chance. But if she's more realistic? Then maybe.

Wins over someone in the amateurs doesn't mean much anyway

Well Marshall did beat her after she had won her first Gold and as inexperienced as you say Shields was, Marshall was just as inexperienced.

No matter what, shields is an Olympic champion twice over and Marshall is not

[sicko]

both with Boxxer so no excuses now, it better happen

[Oldskoolg]

This fight will almost certainly happen in the U.K. where people actually care about it…

Mmm pretty sure Savannah Marshall was less experienced then too as it was 9 years ago. Neither Fury or Wilder won gold medals and they're supposed to be the best in their era. Gervonta Davis or Teofimo Lopez didn't win gold either. Nor Josh Taylor. Winning gold at the Olympics may be the be all and end all of amateur boxing, but it only serves as a guide for the pros. The same way Marshall beating Shields serves as a guide.
