Got a bit scrappy that one. Little wonder, the pace they've been going at. But any lulls seem to be mere respite, as blows then rain down again from each fighter.
Claressa Shields is probably landing the cleaner shots though.

Oh my. More of the same. And Claressa Shields lands a couple of one-twos late in the round that must still be stinging Savannah Marshall.
Instant classic this!! It's rivalling Joyce v Parker the other week.

This is great stuff. Neither fighter is letting up. Savannah Marshall has Claressa Shields against the ropes but the American keeps calm and gets out of trouble.

Ebanie Bridges
IBF bantamweight champion on Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraIt's incredible. Claressa got chin-checked and passed the check.
They are just going toe-to-toe and I didn't expect it to be this way.
Claressa is trying to prove she isn't scared.
