It started with years stemming of a rivalry between the two. But in the bout it was Shields who dominated the whole fight
starting from round one.
Shields won the first round with successfully coordinated strikes on Marshall ending the round 10-9 for Shields.
In the second round we saw improvement from Marshall but Shields fought back even stronger concluding the second round
again, 10-9 for Shields.
The third round looks like it was going to turn around as we saw Marshall improvising even more than in the second round but Shields is all cool staying calm as ever, and again 10-9 for Shields.
In the fourth round is when we start to really see the effects Shields has on Marshall as its really obvious that Marshall
is tired and needs to work in her combinations as the rounds still ends 10-9 for Shields.
Fifth round took off with both Shields and Marshall giving devastating blows to each other but this round Marshall had the
edge ending the round 10-9 for Marshall
Into the sixth round we start too see the fatigue from Shields which is unexpeceted from a machine like her,
this did get the better of her as Marshall took this round ending 10-9 in Marshalls favor.
This is where Shields starts to slow down , The 7th round, as in this round we didnt see any interesing throws from Shields
therefore ending 10-9 for Marshall.
But his is where things get interesing as Shields gains back control and dominates the round withount tiring herself
as much, making the round end in her favor of 10-9 for Shields
The Ninth round is where Marshall tries to one up Shields by steping up the pressure and ultimatly succeeds winning it 10-9 for Marshall
