Anyone else think Shields will school Marshall?

[STREET CLEANER]

The problem with Shields is that she tries too hard. She still has an amateur style in throwing a lot of punches with no power. If she settles down she has enough speed and head movement to pull out a decision. Marshall is all around slow, steady, balanced but slow.

Women's boxing is absolutely garbage, there is zero depth and this so called dream match up is pathetic.

I won't be watching but i hope the Brit wins by ko, the yank has zero power and is terrible to watch.

I love all combat sports male or female but boxing for some reason has few ELITE fighters. The only sport full of very talented women is kick boxing.
L. Ali was elite. I honestly can’t think of any that came close, other than Ann Wolfe, Christy Martin. Shields is a solid boxer too.
UFC has the same problem except they actually promote theirs. Whenever I see a great boxing female. Their always mixing it up with amateurs. That’s boring to me. What’s the challenge?

Are they still doing 2 minute rounds per fights like this uis 1987?

no horse in this race , I just wanna see a good scrap .. hopefully it lives up to all the trash talk


I do think Alycia is gonna school Mayer tho

Easy to make over-the-top predictions, but not so easy to back it up with at least waging £1000 for Shields.

Marshall, in my opinion, is stronger, has longer reach. This girl hates bullies. Saying Shields schooling Marshall is just way something coming from somewhere, coming from this poster.

Sheilds is gonna beat this girl up and they're gonna create a new "monster". They tried with Hammer and she was shut out. Marshall is too slow and flat footed. She's gonna get outclassed bad. If all you have is a puncher's chance against a good boxer, that's not really a good chance most of the time.

Even though the depth isn't as big as the men's division, big fights are made. 2 of the biggest fights in the history of women's boxing have been made this year alone. We can't get anyone from 135 in the top 10 to fight each other and the same goes for Crawford against anyone else in the top 10.

Marshall wins. Something you are not factoring in at all, and should be, is how awkward her style is. There is no sparring that can prepare you for that (or her power for that matter). It's not fluid like Shields', but very effective. For Shields to land clean often, on that awkward, unusual style, she has to get close, she gets close, what happens? She gets whacked. It's clear as day Marshall has legit power, whereas Shields couldn't bust a g****. I'm 60-40 in favour of Marshall, and she is rightly the bookies fav imo.

Shields has the better resume, but nobody she beat would be any challenge to Marshall, realistically. It's good they have each other though, as without that, neither have a challenge really. There is no other fight for Shieds I'd care about watching and same goes for Marshall. Nash out.

Good, sensible points.

[ShoulderRoll]

Shields really doesn't have a lot of pop on her punches.

With the fight being only ten, 2-minute rounds I can see her winning on points but not schooling Marshall.

And Marshall will be a threat to land something hard for as long as the fight lasts. How good is Claressa's chin?
