Claressa Shields Vs. Savannah Marshall

[royfromaus]

Amazing fight.
Deserve every penny they get.

It was quite a bout.

Somebody might have a word with Shields though about leaving her opponent waiting while going through what I'm sure she thought was an impressive and not at all tacky entrance.

i only watched the highlights, looks like it was a good fight.

Women in general are nasty fighters, guys use their strength and muscles to fight but girls fight with nails, a heavy handbag and dirty tactics. Or is that just bar room fighting? :-)

It is nice to see women's sports getting the attention it deserves.

To me, the notion of deliberately inflicting brain damage on another individual, even with their consent, is barbaric, and the fact that it is offered as entertainment, or 'sport', is a sad indictment on modern society.

[andy-hughes]

I thought I made a thought-provoking comment, and expected at least one rebuttal from the boxing fraternity.

No takers?

[wolf63]

AH - you nasty person!

I agree with you that it is a brutal and disturbing sport. But the fact that that brutality has extended to both sexes is good for the equality of the sexes.

I think boxing, make of female is barbaric but seeing two women punching at each other’s heads and faces, particularly so
