Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields: I Don't Want Any Excuses When I Beat Savannah Marshall

[Butt stuff]

I don't like Shields as a person and really would love to see her get knocked out.
Marshall has size and power but I feel many will be disappointed with the result myself included.
As much as I dislike Shields she has very nice skills, speed and bags of athleticism at least as far as female fighters go.

I think Marshall is too slow and robotic personally, prior to landing that jab and finishing sequence I felt she had a rather torrid time trying to land on Femke who is absolutely levels below Shields. For me Shields needs to fight really ****** to lose. I just haven't seen anything from Marshall which makes me believe she can pin Shields down or wear her down.

I'd love to be wrong but I actually think this could well be a lowkey mismatch. Marshalls size and power is enough to keep my interest though I just feel she will be left chasing shadows.

That and the one opponent, Muzeya, that actually put it on Marshall had her blowing out of her arse after 2 rounds. If that happens then it sounds insane but she could actually be the Shield’s first stoppage.

I agree, same thoughts pretty much. Marshall is too in love with her power... She will try to KO shields and... cannot really outbox shields. easy fight.

btw... Time for 12 rounds and 3 mins for the ladies...

preach on!!

Let her buy herself a pair of fake boobs and show up at weigh-ins wearing Ebanie Bridges-like G-strings, and you'll see a definite change of mass opinion.

That wont help her either

Maybe if I was deaf and blind and even then the chances aire slim

You guys have been saying that about Beterbiev for years now... Yet he dealt with anything thrown to him in a fashion way ... Marshall isn't a "stylish" fighter... She has good fundamentals and she gets it her way when the time comes... Shields won't have an answer for 10 rounds...

Its hard for a critic to be proven right when these fighters aren't taking risks.
I do see your point but I don't feel Marshall is decent fundamentally I'd class her more as unorthodox than I would fundamentally sound.

Am I the only one that caught the typo in the article saying Shields knocked Herman's out this past Saturday

Yup
A little confusing until you keep reading
I think someone at NSB is challenging us lol

Why is the hate for clarrisa so strong on this website. l really think she is the most hated boxer here.

I’m not fond of her either but the comments above really smack of something quite nefarious

[Greenfield02]

That goes for both, because I feel the excuses coming....

[OhMightyThanos]

Shields invites the hate. She is the only one going around saying she is the GWOAT. No one is stepping up saying it for/about her. Girl has skills. I don’t think she’s knocking anyone out here, but she is too fast, too skilled for Marshall. Marshall has a puncher’s chance. Shields’ ego is the only other possible thing that can expose her. If she insists on going for the KO, Marshall’s chances rise. But I think Shields gets a taste of the power, and then dances to a decision and Marshall gets schooled. Shields with the shutout decision.

She will pretend savannah asked for too much money, claressa is not a slick boxer by any means she is just a workhorse similar to tim bradley both built like tanks but no pop and have high work rate from mid range they pop and pop and tally up points. Savannah beat her once, this is lennox lewis vs rid**** bowe all over again, either claressa pulls out and doesnt fight her and claims svannah ****** or she does fight and gets knocked out.

“They fought 1 time, 10 years ago when they were kids (Marshall is a bit older) , so Claressa is going to duck or get KO’d, no doubt.”


I’m far from a Shields fan, but you’re an absolute clown
