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

[buddyr]

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

toney didn't even get in shape for boxing, you knew he wouldn't for an mma fight. He was just there for a check

That sheet looked FIXED. The opponent just lay down hugging Claressa in the final round and didn’t even defend herself, just took the punches.

When the boxer is elite and prime they can compete in the UFC, the UFC guys cant in Boxing.

Man Toney was tripping all over himself in the boxing ring right before he went into MMA. Of course he was going to go down quick.

She fought a can. Soon as Claressa fights a live opponent it’s a first round submission easy

This aint the UFC, and she came within 3 minutes of losing to a chick with a 3-6 record.

And what do you mean cant compete in "boxing"? what level of boxing?

She did worst than i thought she would, 2nd rd she looked warmed up bit more loose, but she could of easily been sub that first rd and 2nd, maybe the fight was a bit fixed or the opponent is very stupid or is really bad

Either way, she doesn't seem like she will be a threat in MMA like i thought she could

[Oldskoolg]

Well done. She remained poised and calm and fought well out of inferior positions. She definitely needs to train very hard in take down defence. However, well done, congratulations young lady
