Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields Makes MMA Debut, Stops Brittney Elkin in Third

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Claressa Shields continues to prove her dominance, even well outside of her comfort zone. Already one of the greatest female boxers of all time, Shields enjoyed an impressive mixed martial arts (MMA) debut, scoring a 3rd round stoppage of Brittney Elkin. The three-division and reigning lineal junior middleweight and middleweight champion pounded away on a defenseless Elkin until forcing the stoppage of 1:44 of round three in their ESPN2-televised main event Thursday evening at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

I wanted shields to win, but I didn't like that stoppage because i had gave Elkin the first 2 rounds. had the fight ended, if Shields didn't get a 10-8 round, she would have lost

Man Claressa Shields got balls man, she was losing that fight but you can see she is calm and collected unlike James Toney who panicked, she won me over here, she also has good base for this, her hips are strong, and she barely trained not bad for a novice she got out of that armbar and new when to explode out, id love her to focus on the ground she will be a beast in MMA

I was actually surprised Shields did as well as she did, but it shows she has a long way to go. They got a safe opponent, who I agree won the first two rounds and may have been on her way to a decision win.

yeah, but she needs to stop sitting on her punches. When you load up in the octagon, you become susceptible to takedowns. In mma, it's hard to land combinations against a grappler. But she's in shape though. She's in better shape than most men in the octagon. She's not even breathing heavy
