She sees their 10-round middleweight title unification fight as a chance to change women's boxing. By showcasing their skills in what figures to be a highly competitive contest Showtime will televise Saturday night, Hammer feels she and Shields can alter the perception of women's boxing among its critics.

I'm sure she's wishfully hoping for that & fair play to her in finding motivation in it, but I don't see this changing anything for womens boxing.

The fact that Ring Mag is giving the winner its first womens Ring belt is interesting, but the fact Ring doesn't even have female rankings at all & is giving out belts shows how long this will likely be a thing.

It isn't going to do much for women's boxing TBH.

Only reason people are even interested is because it's a unification but more so they wan't to see Shields get her azz kicked since she has a big mouth and has been making all kinds of outlandish statements about being the greatest female of all time ect ect...

For women's boxing to really gain popularity they will need a much much broader field of actual talented contenders in each weight class. They have too many of these dead end over-matched showcase fights that lead to no where
