Hammer continues to try and work on the JAB. She turns to the left of Shields' powerful right, but Shields is able to slide most of the offerings and get some backlash. Shields does not do a lot of damage in this round but Hammer, whose face is a little marked, seems much more shy than in the first. A tighter round but another one to the American.

Shields now lets his hands go a bit more, but Hammer does a good job in measuring distance and staying out of reach. But Shields advances in the pocket and puts a pair of big straight hands.

Hammer escapes any serious problem, but this round was entirely made up of shields.

Hammer really insisted on reaching his advantage with his left, but was not able to score many goals thanks to the American defense.

The first to enter is Hammer. The popular boxer Dortmund goes into the ring with Fat Joe and All the Way Up, the song of Remy Ma. It's a hostile crowd, most people here trying to win the double Olympic gold medal, but Hammer fun with the moment, waving for the audience in a choir of choirs. Next, Shields wears a white dress with green trim, accompanied by a presenter and three medium weight belts. Looking for all the business.
Christy Martin is at Boardwalk Hall and announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr has just called him in front of the fighters' entrance. The former two-division world champion helped put women's boxing on the map in the 1990s, making the cover of Sports Illustrated and elevating the sport to unprecedented levels of visibility.
Now, the songs of "T Rex! T Rex! – Cretaceous Shields nickname – resonates in the room as the crowd waits for the main event.
Jermaine Franklin defeated Rydell Booker with a unanimous decision in the last card match. It was a much tighter fight than the official scores of 99-91, 98-92, and 98-92 suggested, but Franklin (18-0, 13 KO), a 25-year-old from Saginaw, did well. managed to defeat some tough times and deliver a strong finishing kick in the 10 rounds.
Shields and Hammer are next.
The surprise of the night (up to now) arrived early on the map. Samuel Peter, WBC heavyweight title holder in 2008, lost a shared split decision against Mexican Mario Heredia in the second fight of his return from a three-year layoff. The Nigerian Nightmare, now 38, was eliminated in the third round, but was unable to close the show and was dismayed after judges Eugene Grant (77-74) and James Kinney (76-75) scored for Heredia, while Alan Rubenstein had 79-72 for Peter (as the Guardian).
Peter's last fight was a breakthrough in the competition – an elimination in the first round of Gerardo Escobar (2-22, 1 KO) at the Cheers Bar & Grill in Tijuana (where everyone knows your name) – but that's all. is surely a peak of his career for the mate Heredia (16-1-1, 13 KO), who had 2-5-1 in his last eight games and was stopped five times in his career.
The problem is that it may not even be Peter's biggest disappointment in this building. In 2005, Peter had three times dropped Wladimir Klitschko in a heavyweight playoff at Boardwalk Hall, before losing a unanimous 114-111 decision on all three cards.
Samuel Peter defeated Wladimir Klitschko three times in their 2005 fight at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.
