    Marshall must have the most uninspiring corner in the history of boxing. I think they're known as roman roads

    Sav needs a Wilderesque "bomb" now!

    Yes unfortunately I can’t see how she can be near on the cards… 6-2 if you ask me.
    Need a big punch.

    6-3 to Shields… needs a 10th round knock out…

    Think Savannah will just miss out 6 rounds to 4. Wouldn’t argue with a draw… but I think Shields has done enough.

    Draw for me. Rematch with three minute rounds to do it like the men do.

    Shields started best and Marshall finished better. Great contest. I dunno how neither landed on the canvas with the punches they were throwing.

    Can’t argue with that really. Great fight.

    Can't argue with that. Don't expect a re-match though!

    In those shorts I was expecting her to say that there “ain’t gonna be no rematch”

    Shields won. I wanted Marshall to win but I gave up scoring when I had Shields 5 up after 5. Just too sharp. Hoped Marshall could break her down but it’s hard to use your size & strength when there’s only 10 2 minute rounds.

    Yeah I think 2 was fair from the other judge, but could see what the others had seen, even if I didn’t agree with it.
    Thought that was pretty humble really.

    Great fight and right result, I think that shields was more eye catching with her hand speed and punches thrown! Hope they get a rematch, the fights were more enjoyable than some of the men’s recently

    Shields deservedly won. I had her up by four. And I'm a big Savannah fan.

    Sadly, the latter's power was lessened because of the punishment she was herself taking, for the first time in her career really.

    Nothing to be ashamed of, and I enjoyed the card as a whole.

    But this two-minute round nonsense has to stop. Why it's not 12 three minute rounds, I've no idea.

    Bit like the female tennis players and their three set matches.

    Nonsensical.
