Claressa Shields vs Savannah Marshall

Getting Back on TOPIC, It Never Ceases to Amaze REED How Posters ECHO/PARROT Their Disdain for Women's Boxing EVERYfuckingTME a Women's Boxing Thread is Started...

We GET It, You Don't Like Women's Boxing; You Shared That Information w/Fightbeat 5, 137 Threads Ago...

REED Ain't the Biggest Fan of Women's Boxing, But He's an Advocate for a Woman's OPPORTUNITY to Box and Went Out of His Way to Watch the Likes of Christy Martin, Lucia Rijker, Laila Ali and Ann Wolfe...

REED Also Goes Out of His Way to Watch Claressa Shields and Fully Expects Her to Beat Savannah Marshall...




REED

 

Is Marshall too nice? She's not mean enough to win this particular fight. That's how she comes across to me. Compared with Shields who's got this attitude that's needed to be successful (and she's backed it up everytime too).

 

REED's Interested for Sure...




REED

 

REED Doesn't Know Much About Savannah Marshall, Being Honest, Other Than She's the Only Woman to Beat Claressa Shields in a Boxing Match, 10 Years Ago...

Big, Strong, Heavy Handed Girl, But There's a GRAND CANYON Sized Gap in Their Resumes...Shields Will Be Her 4th Undefeated Opponent, Whereas Marshall Will Be Shields' 6th Undefeated Opponent...She Also Has 3 Foes That Had Just 1 Loss @ the Time and Wins Over Lb for Lb Caliber Women Like Christina Hammer and Hannah Gabriels...

There's Literally Not 1 Recognizable Name on Marshall's Ledger...

REED Thinks Claressa's SPEED and EXPOSURE to Higher Caliber Competition Will Result in a Fairly Wide UD....






REED

 

Interesting Take, but REED Couldn't (Respectfully) Disagree More...

The Uppercut that Dropped Shields was Thrown by Hannah Gabriels, Who was a Top 3-5 Woman in the World @ the Time...Who Has Marshall Faced Even BORDERING on That Level of Skill???...

Yes, Marshall's the Bigger, Stronger Woman and Her Record Suggests She Can CRACK, But Size Won't Be as Big a Factor Since They're Meeting @ '60 Instead of '68, Where Both Started...Of Greater Importance is How SLOW Marshall Appears to Be; Major Advantage for Claressa in That Department...

Claressa HURTS Most of Her Opponents, as Well...It's Quite Common to See Her Tee'ing Off on a Woman, Only to Have the 2 Minute Round RUIN What Could've Potentially Been a Knockdown or Stoppage with the Benefit of 60 Additional Seconds...

If Anyone Gets the Crap Beaten Out of Them in This Affair, the SAFE Pick is Savannah Marshall...Claressa Shields by WIDE UD...





REED

 

Hannah Gabriels is garbage just like most girls on each girls records. No point judging resumes here at this level. You can to look at the fighters technical ability. Shields has handspeed but is behind in every other area. A brutal beatdown will occur. Shields is not hurtig opponents based on what I've seen, nor is her accuracy any good. She's bringing hype to the table but is going up against the real deal. This will look like Calzaghe Lacy if Calzaghe had concussive power. If all viewers are not realising after 4 rounds that Shields is going to get ktfo then I have misread the fight but to be honest with you, whenever I get this strong a feeling about an outcome of a boxing fight, I am rarely off.

 

REED Will Safely ASSume You're Trolling and/or Fanboying and Never Actually SEEN Hannah Gabriels Fight, if You Consider Her "Garbage"...More Than the Vast Majority of Women Who've EVER Laced 'em Up, There's a DUDEish Quality to the Way She Moves About the Ring and Throws Punches...

On SIGHT Alone, it's Apparent Gabriels is a Student of the Game Who's Invested QUALITY Time to Our Sport...



Savannah Marshall LACKS the Wherewithal to Land Shots of THAT Caliber on Shields...No Woman in the HISTORY of Boxing has Faced the Quality of Opposition Claressa Shields Has...That MEANS Something...

If Proven Right, REED'll Be 1st in Line to Give You Your PROPS, But he Just Can't See That Transpiring...




REED

 

Caroline Dubois punches harder than Daniel

 

Marshall is operating at a much higher level than Gabriels. We can agree to disagree. If Shields proves me wrong, I would be pretty shocked but hey its boxing. Any opposition they have in common took a brutal KO from Marshall but they went the distance without any problems vs Shields. So "quality of opposition" doesn't apply at all. We will find out soon. I'm just hoping for a good fight with a conclusive finish.

 

Lol oh dear. The blonde in the pink is truly awful.

 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet Caroline...Oh, Oh, Oh!!!




REED

 

That bloody song ::

 

Yeah, the "Bad" in Women's Boxing is INCREDIBLY "Bad", Admittedly...

Claressa Shields Famously Said "Laila Ali Beat Up on Strippers and Soccer Mom's", & It Wasn't All Hyperbole...The Quality is CONSIDERABLY Better Today, But Yeah, There's Still a LOT of Bitches Out There w/No GOTdamn Reason Being in a Boxing Ring...




REED

 

It's Already the ANTHEM of British Boxing; REED's OPENLY Campaigning for Likewise on His Side of the Pond...



REED

 

Alysia Baumgardner's MOUF' Has Made This the Most INTERESTING Mikaela Mayer Bout REED Will Have Watched...We'll See if Baumgardner Brings ASS to the Ring w/Her, to Back it Up...

Mayer's Not AMAZING By Any Stretch, But She's Slooooowly Carving a Respectable Niche in the History of Women's Boxing...




REED

 

SPICE GIRLS, GOTdamnit!!!



REED

 

The Looooping Right is There for Baumgardner...




REED

 

Baumgardner CLEARLY in Control After 2 Rounds...



REED

 

Mayer is getting completely out-boxed here

 

Good for that arrogant bitch

 

Mayer is PONDEROUS

 

Mayer Stepping Up the Pace/Aggression...Responding Like a CHAMPION...



REED

 

Mayer looking strong and landing more now

 

Mayer's TALL/RANGY Which are Pluses, But She's Also BASIC AF & Average @ Best, ATHLETICALLY...

Effective, But Not SPECIAL...She Did GOOD Work in the 5th Though...




REED

 

Not SCORING the Fight, But Mayer Seems to Be SLIGHTLY Ahead, or EVEN @ Worst, After 6...

Lost the 1st 2 CLEARLY, But Adjusted Well Since...




REED

 

Fairly Strong Stand from Baumgardner in the 7th...

Quality Fight...Kudos to BOTH Women....



REED

 

Baumgardner has the ability to land and not get hit but its like she's enjoying getting hit.

 

These two minute rounds go by way too quickly

 

Bit underwhelming finish. Feels like these women could go on for more rounds.

 

Tough Fight to Score...

Knowing Both Women are CHAMPIONS, It'd Be Tough Seeing Either of Them Leave the Ring BELTLESS...REED Would Call it a Draw and Schedule an Immediate RE...

Quality Championship Level Prizefight...Not Sure What Tim Bradley's Bitching About...
