Can they just let her fight GGG like she claims to wants to so I can stop hearing about how a pillow fisted amateur boxer is beating every woman that probably have other jobs since they aren't good enough at boxing to get paid to make it a career.

Weird roadblock to throw up at this stage. Seemed the fight was set but goalposts being moved now.

I get it though. We all know British judging is atrocious, as a foreign fighter without KO power I wouldn’t want to be fighting in the UK at all let alone my opponents backyard.

It doesn't matter where this takes place . The important part is this apparently is a PPV , the first of it's type in the women's game. If that is the case then it's high time they fought for three minutes over twelve. It is a unification and this is their chance to be taken seriously and see what they really are all about.

Just make the fight happen.

Wembley is very befitting for such a fight of this magnitude to headline.

Claressa will then say to be a big we need to fight in vegas, stylistically savannah is all wrong for claressa, claressa is not a slick boxer, she also lacks power and has a suspect chin

claressa is better off in mma if she develops a great sprawl and works on her explosiveness she will be a beast in there

She is going to destroy Marshall. Totally different league of fighter. There's a difference in being fearless and being smart. I don't blame her one bit for not wanting to get screwed over in Newcastle. Even though it won't be close. Marshall is slow ass f--k. You can see her punches from a mile away. This is going to be a blow out for Shields

I agree shields should win pretty easy, marshall is unproven at her level but its an interesting fight with her power. If every fighter and their fans put their foot down about venues and hometown stuff we wouldnt even get half the fights we do, some throw hissy fits and some get on with it i guess, when americans have to travel they do tend to give out, not used to it i guess, thats not a slight, its just the way it is, u have to go where the money is often & in this case its newcastle, mostly its america, i just find it funny that claressa has started yapping now after the last fight there, that is funny

[El_Mero]

Not how it works Claressa..Fight will happen where the most money is. You cant draw flies to sh.it

Shields whining about being in Savannah hometown when Shields made Marie Eve come to her hometown of Flint Michigan to fight for undisputed.

That is the problem with some Americans they think they are entitled.
before anyone gets their panties in a bunch I am American

I guess the only debate is what round Marshall knocks her out in , all those soft belts will catch up with Shields.
