Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields: Marshall Will Get It Worse Than Kozen, I Don't Like Her

Please someone tell BoxingScene to stop these inane, repetitive Shields 'articles'...

You know you don't have to read or comment on them right?

Get it worse than kozin? Kozin got outclassed but was never hurt lmao. I like that Claressa constantly blabs about her gold medals. Gold medals don’t make u the greatest of all times. They are amateur competitions lol. You have to beat great professionals to be the known as the best. Shields has a lot of skills but she’s just too loud and pillow fisted for anyone to care. 50/50 chance Marshall can beat her. She’s very long and she’s much better than any of shields previous opponents. Plus she has a little power so if shields gets tagged we gonna se if she has a chin or not.

Claressa Shields is gonna do Savannah Marshall the same way Floyd Mayweather Jr did the late Diego Corrales it's levels to this.

I wish we could bet, and I’m not saying my girl Shields won’t win, but this is a fight and no cake walk for Shield’s! Marshall has looked seasoned and very composed with power, which mean that can be a problem. I just wish it were 3 minutes per round. I’m from Michigan but I see a very difficult fight but look forward to it.

I doubt if a Mayweather-Corrales fiasco style fight will be happen. You don't know anything about that fight, except the result. Corrales was going to jail for 2 years, immediately after the fight. He already had gone up to lightweight, with having great difficulty making 130 for a couple of years already. He was nearly 6 ft tall. He was asked on a video special why he took the fight, and he said 'They made me an offer I just couldn't refuse"..It was $200,000, and already owed every cent of that to lawyers. His family and marriage was in shambles, He was half crazy with tensions and panic.

His trainer said, before the fight, that he just can't get him to train, he sits in the hotel room playing with the Gameboy all day.

He had to weigh in 3 times, was over 30 lbs overweight a couple of weeks before the fight. The morning of the fight he was still 10 lbs over. and spent it in the sweatbox, as he had done for nearly the whole previous month. His body just couldn't take it.

T.K. Stewart, the well known boxing writer wrote, "As soon as I saw him at the weigh itn, skin grey, ribs sticking out, and holding on to a friend's arm to help him walk, I knew he had NO chance". Larry Merchant said on air, just before the fight, "I walked past Chico's dressing room, and there he was sitting on the couch, scoffing a monster size hamburger"....

So nasty things happen in boxing, like this "fight", but that won't happen with Marshall.

Same day weigh-ins stopped in the early 80s . There was no same day weigh-in during Corrales/Mayweather fight.

Marshall's best opponent was Rankin. That says a lot.

Katie Taylor doesn’t get stoppages….and curiously, doesn’t get criticised for it by the peanut gallery…..things that make you go hmmmmmm…..

and loses rounds in the process.
