Now that Savannah Marshall is the new undisputed female super middleweight champion of the world, she is potentially on a collision course for a rematch with arch-rival Claressa Shields, who was the loudest person in the AO Arena when Marshall dethroned Franchon Crews-Dezurn in Manchester, England Saturday night. Shields had some choice comments for Marshall afterwards.
“I will fight her at whatever weight she wants to fight at,” Shields said. “She is going to get beat up… that’s what is going to happen.
“[I saw] a lot of weaknesses and she didn’t learn from her last fight. I agreed with the first judge who had it 95-95. The fight was close – I expected a better performance from both girls.”
I’m ready and I will be in attendance for the rematch
This is ridiculous, any female can win 2 fights and get a title shot, what a disgrace smh
Same thing happens in men’s boxing.
I guess there’s a market for this stuff. Found no entertainment value in that garbage dump of a fight on the weekend. It’s a pretend world. Inferior product in every respect.
Though I don’t agree with the way she went about it — it literally seemed like Marshall won the first fight and Shields is desperate for a rematch and Marshall even called her a stalker — I do agree with her final point. If the Savannah Marshall who fought FCD shows up for the Claressa Shields rematch, she goes the distance but she probably doesn’t win a single round. I’d rather see Shadasia Green get her shot first.
nobody gives a fuck about women slapping. 2 min rounds . FUCK WOMENS BOXING…
I hope to never get to a point where I understand why people go out of their way to declare apathy. Kurtis you may not like it, you may dislike it and you may even hate it and that’s fine, you’re entitled to your opinion; but you CLEARLY do give a fuck about it.
The first Shields/Marshall watch was entertaining. Close fight, and they both looked good.
I agree. It’s absolutely horrendous to watch, as are most women’s sports. Aside from women’s beach volleyball I can’t think of a single woman’s sport I’d watch for more than 3 seconds.
No thanks but best of luck to them. I will later read the results.
I don’t think it will happen but I hope Shields gets her jaw broken and just so she will shut her trap for a minute.
It would be valuable if Claressa Shields took a look at some old footage of Laila Ali to see how a champion can speak and conduct herself with confidence and grace.
If Laila couldn’t pimp her daddy’s name, she may well have acted in a boisterous fashion too. The media played along with her narrative.. Shields has a different background and story.. she actually had an amateur career and went to the Olympics.. she was not born into privilege.. she has much more of a reason to have a chip on her shoulder than Laila Ali
No reason to act like an idiot.
Shield’s is trying to mimic Laila’s dad — and failing badly at it. Muhammad Ali was the OG. There’s only one like him. Shields needs to develop her own personality.
How exciting!!!!! Said no one ever.
There is women’s sports? Gee, I thought they were trying to ban it, so they could promote men parading as woman in sports.
No one gives a damn about any of this ffs.
I think Marshall now knows how to fight Shields! I think the speed through her off in the first fight! She now has to pick up where she left off during the first fight! Back her up with stiff jabs and pressure Claressa. Timing is the key! Hard right hands and left hooks to follow!!
Win, lose, or draw, Claressa Shields is still ghetto trash.
At least she didn’t say she will knock her out, we all know there is no chance of the pillow fister doing that
Shield’s Problem is she can’t knock anyone out. She talks a lot of junk. Yeah she wins But her fights are boring. She doesn’t have KO power. No excitement.
Particularly short championship reign for Marshall then. No way she beats Shields based on her performance Saturday night.
Female boxing has still plenty of progress to do..
I’ll watch the weigh-in if they wear body paint. But women’s boxing? I’m out.
disdain for womens boxing. Horrible how the fight fan has been forced to watch this crap. Not one of them can fight well enough to be interesting. Then the promoters put the women on the fight right before the main event, so they force people to watch. I for one hate this shit.
couple years ago I saw a “womens” fight and one appeared trans. “She” kicked the shit out of the other gal. As soon as a trans man who identifies as sally , hits a real sharon, the “sport” will be over …
