BOXXER chartered a vessel to take bitter rivals Savannah Marshall and Claressa Shields – plus a host of British media – down the Thames River for open workouts and staredowns in the shadow of the iconic London Tower Bridge. They collide Saturday on ESPN+.
Savannah Marshall: “She’s had a lot to say about me but it doesn’t bother me, it doesn’t get under my skin. I don’t care what she thinks about anything – she’s not one of my friends or family so her opinion doesn’t mean anything at all to me. We will do our talking in the ring on Saturday night – I’m going to take her into deep water and drown her in the Thames.”
Claressa Shields: “I’ve always said that women’s boxing can sell and that I was the one. It’s nearly sold out, there will be nearly 20,000 fans in the O2 Arena and I’ve been training my butt off. I want all the smoke and when I leave the ring on Saturday night, Savannah Marshall will be silenced and I will be the undisputed middleweight champion of the world.”
I see Shields outboxing Marshall but would not mind seeing the arrogant self-proclaimed GWOAT get ktfo. I don’t see this on the DAZN schedule so I don’t know if I’ll be watching live.
This is good!!! Most people paid to watch guys like Ali and Mayweather lose. They kept winning and earned many millions.
But Its fun and cheeky when Fury, the self-proclaimed king, do it right?
You will search and find a way to watch the fight live or replay. You cant help yourselves.
They loved it when Ronda Rousey was talking her cowboy ish.
They loved it when McGregor was talking his cash money ish.
They adore Fury for all his antics and rhetoric!!!!
But God forbid the best female boxer EVER on paper says she’s the gwoat. God forbid Floyd says he’s the best! Lol
The double standard is nauseating.
It’s just those 3 white people… The only whites that talk trash.. compare them to all the blax that talk trash. Tell the WHOLE STORY not the edited one
I have no problem with someone glorifying themselves. When the smacktalk leads to a member of your entourage nearly killing someone at a freaking weigh-in, it might be time to tone it down a bit. Plus, compring her to Floyd is disingenuous. Floyd pretty much fought all comers. Shields hasn’t. Granted, there just aren’t a lot of great women boxers out there, but this one is her biggest fight thus far.
Your racism is disgusting!!!!! You seem to forget the person who has claimed GWOAT has yet to have a single truly significant win. Does not matter who would say it, given the facts, it is arrogance.
Claressa Shields has to win cause if she doesn’t her career could be done.
Only thing about talking trash is you either succeed and not much changes.. or you crash hard and burn(Adrian broner style). I think shields is gonna get punished for sure.
Marshall better watch our for Shields brother if she knocks her out
I’m sure security will be tight. Shields loses I’m sure she is a poor sport
I think Shields will outpoint her unfortunately. I’m hoping Savannah knocks her out. She is a cutie too 🙂
getting her ars handed to her never paid so well…easy..EASY!
I’m going for Marshall against the feather fisted Shields.
I’m rooting for Marshall, but I’m pretty sure Shields is gonna make it look like easy work.
20k fans, lol. Sold out, i’m crying….
Even if Shields wins, she still stinks. Because of her loud mouth street talk, nothing she says or does can make me interested in any of her fights. I am just not a fan of fighters who rely on hype to try to sell fights, and prefer fighters who do their talking in the ring. If Marshall beats Shields, that would be a positive.
I bet you like Garcia and Lopez though.
Not sold out at 20K in the O2 Arena Ms. shields and the only reason that many are showing up is because of Ms. Marshall. You do not sell because nobody likes you. Simple
Try as i may it is hard to like Shields. I do agree with the fact that she is probably the best female boxer around at the present moment. but of all time? nah Ali would have been too big and strong. hit too hard and too determine for her to handle. When Shields opens her fat gob, it puts me off.
She might have been better off not playing the bad girl-everybody loved her when she was winning gold in the Olympics.
my pick is marshall hope she runs shields out of the uk
It’s crazy how race always seems to creep into the mix of EVERYTHING.
Shit talking is part of the game. Not everyone is humble or a good sport, but that doesn’t take away all that Claressa has done in the ring.
Look how everyone adores Katie Taylor and she hasn’t accomplished half of what Claressa has.
I don’t have a pony in the race, I’m unbiased. I respect and admire ALL fighters, win, lose, or draw!
But with that being said, I know in my heart if Claressa was white the world would love and embrace her so much more!
The same with Mayweather! THIS IS BOXING. Let’s judge fighters on their performances and accolades, leave the nonsense out of it.
It’s supposed to be grown men fight fans on here, and most of you sound superiorly feminine.
Wow. Smh
Rocky1.. Amen.. Bunch of B@tches squawking about who they like and who offends them. Hardly any real analysis. Fact of the matter is, Marshall has nothing for Shields in any category. 1 sided easy win for Shields.. as easy as Marshall is to hit, I wouldn’t be surprised to see her go down in TKO flames late in the fight. Shields has solved opponents like Marshall but Marshall has never solved one with Shields skills. That amateur victory holds little weight at this point.
Why do blax have such low self esteem? Perpetual victims… Look at this comment!
Totally Agree
Bivol lost Ring Magazine cover to Taylor. This winner will likely be picked over Usyk.
Come on Marshall!! Shut her big mouth up once and for all, PLEASE!
The Queen has just died. This means this UK held fight will almost certainly be postoned. All UK sporting events likely to be postponed until after her funeral.
She’s likely been dead since they boarded up Buckingham palace in March of 2020.
Shields is going to bust Savannah up!!!
