Marshall now Investing in the body-that’s vital since she’s hoping Shields slows down as these rounds continue

I don’t see Shields hurting Marshall but I DO SEE Marshall rocking Shields! We’ll see how she responds if and when it happens. #ShieldsMarshall

Winner could take all in the 10th even though I have shields up by a round. The volume of Marshall is convincing to the judges. #ShieldsMarshall

Marshall never stopped trying but Shields was brilliant tonight. Her hand speed, accuracy and defence off the ropes was the difference
