Considering that there's maybe 7 or 8 chicks fighting at the weight , fights have to be hard to come by. I'm happy for her that she got the opportunity. She looks big and strong but that is not enough to beat Shields. We shall see what else she's got.

Inactivity says it all

Not a big Katie Taylor fan (she gets many gifts), but at least Taylor fights real fighters who are active and skilled.

I was at both fighters last fight in Detroit mostly to support Shields but odd be dammmm if I'll be a fool twice, that was the weakest fight card I'd been to in 42 years!

I'm happy for her anyone, of either gender, to get a good opportunity in their forties or older.

It shows respect, and yes, we matter.
