    Never thought I'd be looking forward to a woman's fight but I am going to watch this. Bad blood between the two. Anyone else interested?

    What network? DAZN?

    If Shields gets beaten up, I'll catch the replay.

    You know me and women's boxing. Even though Haney is a bore, I'll watch him over two chicks.

    I'm not sure if it's on Dazn. I know Sky Sports are showing it.

    I think Marshall beats the crap out of her. Shields is just fast hands and not much else. She got dropped by an uppercut early in her career. She rarely hurts people and doesn't have much accuracy and spends most of the fight flat footed. Marshall is constantly moving and giving different looks. She throws a huge variety of punches to head and body and is aggressive and has gotten stronger and filled out. She is the bigger stronger woman here. I think she will start absolutely beating the crap out of Shields and get a stoppage. Shields is trying to do imitations of Mayweather and other flashy fighters. She is punching with speed and not a lot of power. Once Marshall gets into her groove and is giving her angles and throwing stuff out there that Shields will react to, she will then start punching off Shields reactions and Shields will be in a fight. Shields will find out that she is outgunned and I believe she doesn't have the ability to hit and move on the outside and basically run. She will fight fire with fire and start taking big shots. The ref jumps in somewhere in the 7th or 8th round. It's going to be an easy fight for Marshall mark my words.

    Id laugh if Marshall beat the hell outta her. Not gonna watch live, though.

    Haney-Kambosos is what I’ll catch.

    Oddly, I dislike Marshall more than Shields. She's a local lass to me, too, so I wanted her to do well, but she's gone on and on and on about that ammy fight fucking who knows how long ago and now I'm going to tune in just to hopefully see her get brayed.

    I've no idea who will win as I've never seen a minute of either of these fight. I watch precisely no wifey boxing at all. No interest in it.

    MTF

    Interesting. I've absolutely no way of knowing if this is a sensible take or not. I presumed Marshall is shite, because most Hearn housefighters are mouthy frauds nowadays. Maybe not.

    This and then some.....I honestly think women athletes are a special kind of dumb. They tend to be just bereft of much of what makes women attractive whilst falling badly short of the standards of physical excellence offered by men. Worst of both worlds. When they veer into the loutish and the profane, well that's all the worse again.

    And, to cap it all off, they're oblivious as to why nobody will shell out £££ on them.

    Are there exceptions? Yes. But they're exceptions

    Utter garbage. Wouldn't watch it if they were fighting literally in my own backyard. In fact, would call the cops to have them removed asap from my propriety lol

    Savannah is like the female version of Tyson Fury in there but better. Shes taking a couple of rounds to get going but shes switching stances very frequently and throwing every punch from either stance and keeping on her opponents.

    Yeah, but no. She isn't 'better than Fury' at anything. Not even carrying a pair of tits.

    Watched the propaganda video. She looks decent for a lass, when hitting other lasses. Meh

    She's trained by Peter Furey..... I mean that's bad enough. It would be like Harry Houdini trying to teach Andy Ruiz how to escape from a dunkin donuts branch. Total waste of expertise.

    And that's just it.

    The dumbing down of audiences in all fields and spheres this past 20 years is remarkable.

    What's worse is if you or I worked in a public sphere and our sentiments regarding this were made known, we'd be fired or worse.

    Lol the fact that there is a thread about this and seems to be getting the most action out of all the threads here proves how dead boxing is...

    It's bad right now.

    It's bad right now because A. The elites aren't fighting each other. B. The YouTuber fighter era. C. The elites aren't fighting each other.

    I'm not at all worried about B. The gimmick era of YouTubers fighting WILL die out eventually. The novelty is already dying.

    It's the lack of big, quality fights that has the potential of killing the sport.

    Not to really derail this thread, but history will show that DK was both the worst AND best thing to happen to boxing.

    He was the worst because he fleeced everyone who signed with him. He was the best because he pushed to make big matchups. Of course, he wasn't perfect in that regard (King wasn't opposed to gimmicks).

    But compared to Haymon and Hearn????? There is no comparison. Don King didn't coddle these guys to the extent of Haymon and Hearn.

No bullshit no greedy jews behind fighters turning down fights because they want more money etc... no running no ducking just fighting... it would be amazing.... shame

    Dana don't pay enough to run boxing.

    Boxers won't fight for the crumbs he pays.

    There has to be a medium, cause MMA fighters are content to be paid peanuts. And it ain't like they're happy about it. They're jealous AF of boxers.

    No, MMA Sorts Like Dana are GREEDY, ENTITLED and MMA Fighters are DUMBFUCKS....

    Fighters Make Something Like 35%-40% (or LESS) of UFC's Yearly Revenue...That's Borderline CRIMINAL..It Also Explains Why Dana White NEVER Makes UFC's Financials PUBLIC...

    Fighters are Getting RAPED Financially By Dana, Yet You're COOL w/It, Bitching About "Spoiled" Boxers???...

    That's the thing dumbass... boxers get paid a lot which is great for them but bad for the fans of the sport.. once boxers start making big money they're more picky with the fights they take... they also want more money they dont train as hard etc... all this bullshit arises once they're financially set and don't need this shit anymore.. dana is right.. keep these mother fuckers hungry and keep them on the leash... ufc benefits with the money coming in and we benefit with great fights

    I'm not gonna pretend like I know the solution, because I don't, but Haymon and Hearn have made it too easy for boxers to be UNambitious.

    I'm all for boxers getting paid crazy money - unlike pussies in the NBA and MLB, these guys are risking their lives. They're risking their lives more than MMA fighters as well. BUT, there has to be more internal pressure on top guys to face eachother.
