IBF super middleweight world champion Savannah “The Silent Assassin” Marshall was defeated by WBO super middleweight world champion Shadasia “The Sweet Terminator” Green. 14-1, 11 KOs) in a ten-round 168-pound world title unification bout.

Marshall and Green delivered a grueling, back-and-forth clash that kept the Madison Square Garden crowd on edge until the final bell — and firmly in Green’s corner. Green landed heavier shots and nearly dropped Marshall on multiple occasions, but Marshall showed grit and resilience, weathering punishment and finding her rhythm behind the jab in the later rounds. 

After being stunned in the fifth, Marshall adjusted, using movement and sharp counters to claw her way back into contention. The fight was messy in the best way, and while Green’s rounds were more emphatic and her power won over the crowd, Marshall’s consistency could have easily swayed the judges — a result that was met with boos despite the mutual respect shown between the fighters at the end. However, the judges ultimately scored the fight 95-94, 93-96, 96-93 in favor of Green.
