Women boxers should believe in gender equality and fight men in their weight class. This way they can prove that women are equal to men or, if a woman beats Fury and Wilder and Joshua, show us that women are superior.
she is fighting in a weight class no one gives two shits about, all the talent in female boxing is in the lower weight classes. also, her style is not that pleasent, can't crack an egg (to be fair most women can't). we have had threads about female boxers before, katie taylor also gets attention, so does amanda serrano and breakhus. and to finish, there are better female boxers than her p4p
exactly..this isnt even a mega fight and will more then likely be a 1 sided drubbing...yet its threads on it with emotional posts
Aren't the threads mostly made by boxingscene admins? ... maybe they are paid to or want to put some attention on women boxing.
I've seeon some posts on woman boxing in the past though.
Maybe she is going to be a big star. She can beat everybody. She is a nasty person and as big a bragging boxer male or female as there is in the sport. I can't fault her fighting. She takes on all comers and wins with room to spare. She is a very good champion and it looks like nobody can beat her. It's her personality that could use improvement but it just gets worse with every win.
Yet it seems Clarissa Shields is getting a lot of attention...amazing isnt it..She must be a huge star or on here way to be one
There's a few of us quietly rep the women's sport here, man, but yeah there's not much of it so and the threads don't get many replies so I can see why you'd think there's been nothing up til Claressa.
Personally whilst I'm not particularly a fan of Claressa's I do want the women's sport to do well - for a coupla reasons - and I see Shields as the most likely vehicle of expanding it, so I'm kinda rooting for her success even whilst I thought her accusations of racism against Habazin were unfounded and unfair.
Way I'm seeing it the sport needs to expand it's fanbase and women are a largely untapped market, further if we want our sons to get involved in the sport and for it not to get banned or some ish we want women onside and promoting the womens sport is the best way to achieve that.
Finally of course sport is just good for people, men, women whatever, and for my money it doesn't really matter the level in some respects but boxing is the ultimate expression of human competitive spirit whether it's club level or international elites squaring off, male or female, amateur or pro.
Some real animosity between Habazin and Shields. I smell a knockout or stoppage. Undercard's got undefeated welterweight Jaron Ennis, a Russian heavyweight, and Stephen Espinosa's daughter.

Annoying AF, can't understand people in the comments saying she's a real women, and funny and awesome personality, wtf?
You are exaggerating a little. I understand her language just fine.
Persoon was a superwelter fighting a superfeather. The fight was close. I gave it to Katie by one round or draw. I didn't score it round by round.
They can rematch but Katie should insist on same day weigh in. With the rest of your post, I digress.
Persoon has been making lightweight since her career started, and she even moved DOWN to win an interim 130 pound belt and Taylor moved UP to win one at 140. What are you even talking about?
Persoon had 41 fights at lightweight and 1 at super feather.
And no, the fight wasn't close. The rounds were competitive but Taylor won 3 of them at best. It was a flagrant robbery.
Persoon beat Taylor clean, 97-93, and got robbed. Persoon is a fantastic fighter and easily P4P top 3, so there's no shame in losing that fight, but no way Taylor deserves to be ranked ahead of her.
Braekhus is well ahead of Taylor too. Victoria Bustos, who fought both of them, said flat out that Taylor cannot beat Braekhus.
And I would pick Amanda Serrano to beat Katie Taylor as well.

Despite being outnumbered in million fold, women's boxing has some elite, even super elite boxers/fighters. I'd put Katie Taylor as number 1.

The big problem with womens boxing is that all the best fighters are in different divisions. You have maybe six or seven amazing fighters in the whole sport. In the mens you've got that many in each division.
I think changing the rounds to three minutes was an excellent start though. There was really no reason for that since all the fighters hated it.
I take issue with this post.
I can't name 7 elite male boxers now, unless you just throw greatness around. I don't care about popularity. I really can't call any male boxer in the current boxing climate an A fighter. I see the highest as a B+, with some potential to be great.

I hype up Jessica McCaskill whenever the opportunity presents itself (this being one of those) But I also don't make many threads. I think I've only made six or seven in the last two years.
Sheilds does piss people off though, for right and wrong reasons.
Both those fights with Farias were classics. McCaskill should try to land Linardatou next.
Much respect to Farias, too. Her four losses were by decision to McCaskill, Braekhus, and Persoon and she has several legit wins to her own credit.
Sadly because of the harshness of boxing and thus fewer participants I think the average female boxer is probably far worse than the average female WNBA pro.
I still try and watch most of their televised fights though. Seniesa Estrada is entertaining I think, same Jelena Mrdjenovich. She get some legit KO's. Can't find many of the highlights but this is a brutal one.
There's some up and comers looking pretty good too that I've seen on the RING IQ BOXING TALK channel on YouTube. Guy knows his stuff when it comes to women's boxing probably better than anyone else I have seen online.
I think you’re right about that. I can’t remember which televised shields fight it was, but her opponent looked like she was literally picked from the crowd lol. She didn’t resemble a professionally trained fighter in the slightest.

Yea, it would help their sport grow if it was more competitive and there were more competitors overall. I guess that’s the issue tho, most females don’t wanna fight...where most young males are inclined to fight. Different natures.
its like the WNBA.. they might be skilled but ultimately nobody cares
I’m just saying off skills and mental capacity alone...but yea, just the pure athletic talent gap would be insurmountable. Idk, it’s like watching the wnba for me. Sure they may be the best at what they do...but I can’t just look at that after watching lebron lol.
