I find it disturbing that boxing is still considered a legitimate activity. Given the furore over head injuries in football and rugby which only have concussion injuries as a side issue, how can a contest between people attempting to knock each other out be acceptable? |

My Girl is a huge fan (think it takes her back to her days in the ring). But personally (like most sports) I have no intrest in watching so sadly I just can't relate or share her excitement and passion for it. However as long as there's an ale and a packet of pork scratching in it for me I'm content. Plus I just adore watching her light up when she's watching it and shouting at the TV. Makes me so happy just seeing how much she loves it. |

"Do you go regularly?
Never…normally watch at home "
All the recent big stadium fights I’ve attended seem to be full of idiots d off their heads. I prefer watching at home these days although you can’t beat a good domestic fight at York Hall. |

"Backing Marshall all the way. Shields is a great fighter but Savannah has beaten her before and has the power to knock her out."
I agree. I think the previous victory will be embedded .. even though she talks loud I think it will still play on her mind. |

She’s clearly rattled. She hasn’t stopped talking about Marshall for about a year. |

I know I won’t see the action as easily as I would on screen but hoping being in the atmosphere will add the extra  |

"Huge fan here. Had an amateur bout during my Uni days (it didn’t go well!). I really should pay more attention to female boxing."
Yeah I’m really looking forward to it. 1st experience |

I still haven’t been to a boxing event. I was supposed to watch Ritson last time but the tickets were extortionate. |

I probably would have took you up on that offer. No doubt it’ll be a great night. |

Boxing is Boxing
As an ex boxer and coach who trains both sexes I hate the term female boxing.
Some of these girls would knock most guys into next week
It’s JUST Boxing |

"Benn vs Eubank… what a silly match up… benn needs to focus on his own legacy by starting to make some noise in the welterweight division… plenty of names in there to fight… he has talent "
I don’t think either of them are anywhere near elite level |

"Might have to get this card - only £11.99 on Now TV.
Does Clarissa Sheilds remind you of a female Floyd Mayweather with her attitude? I’d like SM to beat her but think she’ll win on points. "
Agree about the Mayweather comparison, Sheilds has come on massively since amateur days. I think she just shades it on skill but I'd back Marshall to have the power, going to be an interesting scrap. |

The fight is on sky sports boxing YouTube channel plus is on sky showcase which most people will have as part of most basic virgin/sky TV packages |
