  • Mayer – Baumgardner is golden. That’s fantastic that they have them both on the same card.

  • Not a fan of woman’s boxing. Maybe it’s because generally they do not punch hard so they seem to not generally care much about defense and it ends up looking very unskilled. There are exceptions, sure, like this match I would want to match, probably because Marshall boxes with a style like a person expects of a boxer?

  • i hope someone puts shields out of her misery. she is overrated with a big mouth.

  • I overwhelmingly prefer Katie Taylor as an ambassador for women’s boxing and an example of what it means to be a champion and to be the best in the sport. She’s dignified, humble, respectful, and represents excellence, grit, skill, and fine boxing. Absolutely no interest in Shields, no interest in any of her fights. She represents a segment of society I have nothing in common with, no respect for, and no interest in seeing or hearing.

    • As an African American, I’d like to know what segment of society your referring to. No one has a bigger mouth than Tyson Fury, who also has been accused of all types of foul play in the ring and out. I don’t hear anyone refer to him that way. I’m a huge fan of Savanah Marshall. I love her commitment to the sport. She trains and fights with a purpose. Skilled knockout intent. I personally love boxers that are skilled and can make you miss but are always looking for the knockout. I was never a Mayweather fan because of my preferences. I just hate all the straight forward and implied racism in the sport. I pull for the fighter with the skill set that I enjoy watching. Regardless of race or nationality. Jaron Ennis, Terrance Crawford and Errol Spence are black fighters with the same mindset that I enjoy watching. I respect Shields. I’m from the Midwest ( Chicago). I’m very familiar with Flint, Michigan and what it took for her to make something of herself and what she’s working against. Her willingness to learn and humble herself to learn mma while maintaining a boxing career is admirable. She’s the best boxing representative I’ve seen cross over. I don’t think her training and development as a boxer has been as thorough as Marshall’s. She’s talented but I think Marshall’s jab, height and relaxed power is going to present problems I don’t think her team will have answers for. I think they both will expose the best and the weaknesses of each other’s game and learn a lot in this fight. I think it’s going to be a great show for women’s boxing. Hopefully after the fight all the negative talk will subside and they will exhibit true sportsmanship and respect for each other. These talented ladies have the potential to give us a few entertaining matches. If it’s competitive or controversial, we know a rematch or two is guaranteed. Look at Fury vs Wilder.

      • Boxing is a racist sport full of insecure man fans that enjoy a convenient narrative. If you ever believed in Santa you understand that warm fuzzy feeling of a well told story. Dont waste your thoughts on these guys. These guys are praying for Shields to lose and will downplay her as the GWOAT no matter how many records she breaks. Boxing has always been about race. America has always been about skin color and she refuses to see past it. Jack Johnson, Ali, Louis, all went through a lot worse. Their flowers came after they died. Anybody who calls themselves LexusNexus I expect them to be a fanboy, the very least

      • The only reason your post got more than twice as many thumbs down as thumbs up is because if it’s race-laden points. Other than that, your post was spot on and very detailed in regards to the science. I do want to let you know as somebody who has traveled the world that the original black man in African countries cringe when black Americans call themselves ‘African-American’. It’s why white people never call themselves European American, and you would never be able to use that term in an African country without being ridiculed or looked at weird. Black Americans have absolutely nothing in common with African people, other than the similarities that white Americans have with white people in Europe. If you ever meet an African person that talks this woke crap, it’s because they’ve had it brainwashed in them over here. That s*** doesn’t fly over there, at all. If you ever take a trip to an African nation, I think reality will smack you in the face really hard. They’re not angry over there like you all are over here.

    • I agree here. Shields is a classless ghetto low life and it obviously runs in the family look at what her coward POS brother did to an opponents trainer! And to think there are ghetto people out there defending those kind of people just make me want to straight up puke.

  • I can’t wait for this one. This is going to live up to the hype

  • I support Claressa Shields because of all the hate she gets. As a strong confident man, its impossible for me take time out to bash an accomplished woman I dont have any dealings with. That behavior is feminine and so its beneath me. Most of what is said about Shields was, and still is, said about Mayweather. The naysayers stayed broke and Mayweather became a GOAT. I expect the same for Shields
