Alycia Baumgardner vs Mikaela Mayer- Shields vs Marshall Espn+

[Spicoli]

Not a robbery but personally think it was 3 rounds margin for Mayer.

Closest round I had was 6th I believe, flip it and nod goes to Mayer. Odd really, Mayer more versatile with her hands and fundamental boxing. And Baumgardner good on the backfoot and can sit inside strong. They reeeeeally need to be 3 minute rounds but in comes the biological debate and skull density etc etc. Baumgardner says no rematch but she will

Basically a full 3 minutes make it easier to possibly judge a round per minute

Yes it comes down to what you like a bit and harder to score clear margins but the two minutes is fine I think. Equal respect just not the same as fellas.

Main should be good just don't want to score it . Does Marshall have a significant follow in the UK? Seems like it's been rather muted.

Not the same as Katie Taylor support but up there.

Stay classy UK. Boo the individual not the Anthem . In fairness Shields is out there dressed like Tye Fields meets Apollo Creed though.

I think a lot of our friends across the pond misunderstand this. It is part of the culture of trying to get a rise out the opposition. We are actually dissapointed you don't boo ours. Pantomime stuff. It is like at the football fans will resort to sledging a national player they may idolize in an England shirt if it will wake up the opposing fans.

National anthems at the Boxing is daft though anyhoos, outside of team competitions like the Olympics, it is one bloke or woman against the other. Personal one on one war, not the international jingoistic competition they like to pretend it is.

Hughie Fury is holding the belt and Daddy Fury in Marshall corner.

Thankfully the national anthems are out of the way.

[Master]

Shields wins the first round with an incredible flurry of punches mid round.

[Spicoli]

Does Marshall always keep her left hand low to thigh like that. Her jab is just a flick and knows how to use that left shoulder/elbow chicken wing. She sort of reminds me style wise of a Fury .

[Spicoli]

Marshall getting clipped way to clean. Leans her head over and bores right in.

[Master]

Shields wins round 2 with faster hands and combinations. She is smaller than Marshall.

2 nil

[Master]

Shields faster hands and better combinations winning the fight for me.

3 nil

[Master]

Shields is a quality boxer and very aggressive when she lets her hands go. Can she keep it up?

4 nil

[TIC]
