“Only me and them really know how that fight went. Who knows which shots landed, which shots missed, which shots hurt. And she knows that was close.
“There were times when I knew she was struggling,” Marshall continued. “Even in that fight, there were times when I caught her with shots that I didn’t really mean to catch her with.

“She’s a handful,” Marshall continued. “She likes to spank you and that’s her game.

But the rivalry with Shields will always remain on their agenda. If she became the undisputed champion in the top division, the call for a second fight with Shields would only grow.
