    actually claressa had a hell of a lot to say on twitter. she even put out a video trashing savannah

    Claressa is much younger than savannah, people tend to forget that. She was a kid when she was beaten by an adult Savannah in the amateurs. I hate that people think Claressa is scared. Still, I like Savannah's style. It's always amusing to watch a big gob get silenced, but then I think Claressa is also likeable most of the time.

      That's the thing, had a lot to say but since Savannah boxed better than when Claressa boxed Rankin she's fell silent.

      Eddie Hearn tweeted out to Claressa about being sick of all the back and fourth and said lets get something booked to which she ignored. Very unusual of Claressa, usually has too much to say but when asked if she wants to fight she didn't respond.

      And she really isn't likeable most of the time, every interview of hers consists of 'I am the greatest woman of all time' 'I have two Olympic gold medals' & 'I am undisputed', she's well annoying lol.

        Well Marshall is the only one to have beaten shields recently at the amateur level, so I guess Shields would have kept an eye out for her as she turned pro. At the end of the day, it’s prizefighting and if shields can build Marshall up then it would be a major pay day for her, since Marshall is with the biggest promoter in female boxing right now.

          She definitely isn’t scared, she hasn’t really had the right competition for her weight class. So it’s nice that she can build this fight into the “She is scared of Marshall” scenario.

          Because she would not only be cashing out big but the win would be high on her list.

            I think Shields is trying to get paid hence her going to MMA. There is more & better opportunity for women in MMA. I don't think she's ducking anyone. She's dropping in weight to try to FIND fights not run from them.

              ive tweeted her a few times and she's replied. she's a good sport really..has a good sense of humour.
              be honest, the most historically liked people in boxing were big gobs. She knows she has to talk a lot to get attention.

                This is good that fans are interested in this matchup and is building it up. It is great for Shields that people think she would lose or is somehow already ducking Marshall

                  Shields is having flashbacks to their last meeting.

                    That loss was a long time ago. Kind of weird to be hanging your hat on that.
