Well, at about 48 hours before the fight Shields’s entourage hasn’t yet attacked Marshall’s trainer, so that’s a good sign.

Shields accepted fighting Marshall in the UK but she wisely refused to fight Marshall in her Newcastle fortress - so the fight is in London (O2).

Shields has far more experience in terms of rounds fought and they're mostly at a high level.

I think Marshall should have had a few more fights to increase her experience at a higher level before fighting Shields.

IMO Shields should win - using her speed to get inside Marshall's long arms and working close up. However if Shields gets sloppy Marshall certainly has the punch to stop her - and got to admit that's what I'd like to happen as I can't stand the way Shields behaves - she has zero humility and imo is a bad example to the young amateur girls just starting out in the sport.
