Comments Thread For: Peter Fury: The 7-3 Score For Shields Ridiculous; Marshall Fight Could've Went Either Way

[Langford]

Savannah would do much better if she had a sharp and frequent jab to keep fighters like Claressa out of range. Then she could drop the right hand when there is an opening. Claressa is a better boxer overall but unfortunately a bad role model for women with all the arrogance etc. Women should look to Amanda Serrano, Katie Taylor & other nice women for role models.

I agree with you. I was shaking my head the whole night watching Savannah Marshall's Tyson Fury imitation job fall apart. It was rubbish tactics Peter Fury had her deploy against Claressa Shields. If the rematch happens, Savannah should do herself a big favour and get rid on the Fury style of fighting. Quit holding that left hand below her hip and exposing the front side of her face. Switching stances back and forth did her more harm than good. It looked like she didn't know how to cut off the ring either. Savannah should stay in the orthodox stance and fire off a lot more jabs followed by the right hand. That is the way you beat a fighter that has a speed advantage. Jabs to the head and body with the right hand behind it. She will lose again if she doesn't use her height and reach better.
