Her last sentence in this article , “there’s nothing more I can do” there is you can be a humble nice friendly engaging individual instead of the crass , arrogant , self entitled person you are . One thing you cannot change is to increase your punching power and viewers want ko , your last fight was a joke ..

You can't help a perma-victim. It's a mental illness and she needs to quit whining every time a mic is put in front of her mouth. Just so boring.

Who cares, female boxing is bxll**** Clarrisa sheilds would probably lose to a 13 year old British amateur, she should go back to the kitchen or the bedroom, atleast there she would be of some use. I hope she gets a career ending injury in MMA. Put her in a ring with a real fighter, like Cyborg or Amanda Nunes lol. ****** bxitch.

This chick is ugly and manly looking like the Williams sisters. Take this broad somewhere cuz she annoying as hell lol.

*** Boxing. Girls should compete in cook-offs with their tittties hanging out.

Most of you all sound like racist, sexist, little bitches that have never laced up a pair of gloves, and who probably couldn't even buy ***** from a woman. Sheilds is a beautiful woman who has been a great representative of the sport. And this is the best you all can do for her? ****ing ridiculous

Show me the list of Men in boxing history or just currently with a 18% KO rate that were or are household names? I'm sure its a shortlist. Sh^t man even Sweet Pea Whitaker who was never considered anything close to a thunderous puncher had a 36% KO rate.

And its not even like if she was KOing mfers like Laila Ali she'd suddenly be up there with Canelo, but still its hard to complain when some basic things aren't getting covered on her end. If you can't take out fools you are better than than you aren't gonna get a lot of hype & fans surrounding you.

Put it this way Panda, even if she was KO’ing her opponent and getting paid 7 figures to do it. She would complain that she should be getting paid Canelo and Mayweather type money.

That’s just her personality and the main reason why the product she puts out there nobody is interested in.

It's a reality but something she knew going into the sport and she didn't help herself with how she presented her image/brand to consumers.

She doesn't have the looks or lineage of a Laila Ali, nor did she have the KO power of Anne Wolfe. She did have the Olympics and the Flint Water stories to help craft an image but she often comes off angry and occasionally vulgar when she speaks. Antics like the Al Bashir beat down by her associates leading up to the Hamazin fight certainly don't help.

I couldn't have said my thoughts any better than the way you summed up everything. A little humility and more knockouts would help her case as well. Her attitude will follow her into MMA as well.

That's how she comes off to me as well. A little humility would take her a long way. She has only fought 11 or 12 times. She is expecting a lot for not having enough fights. Her attitude doesn't help either.

[mjh1969]

Unfortunately for her, she came at a time where there's not a lot of good women boxers, and her fighting style doesn't help either, she still fights like she's in the amateurs always just going for the point win and not the kill. To be fair if she would come at a time where people like Ann Wolfe and Ali where around, she would of been dispatched early and she would of never accomplished what she has now.

This sums up Clarissa Shields.
