Shields seems like she's getting more and more frustrated that she's not getting the recognition she feels she deserves. She really opted for the trinket counting route moving to 174 and now sits 40 lbs north of Dubois isolating herself. Her weight division has like a mere 25 fighters there, over the entire world! Meanwhile you have Mikaela Mayer-Sandy Ryan putting on an entertaining war and the most watched women's main event fight in 19 years. Shields had it much better with Showtime early on at least she had consistent exposure. The Marshall fight was big but don't think a higher division helps her. But hey, it's all about counting empty belts I guess.
