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

Go ask showtime why? Its probably because they don't want their fighter/investment to lose.

The best fighters in women's boxing doesn't mean much does it? who did she beat for those titles? the only test for her in women's boxing is Savannah and probably her biggest payday. But she doesn't want it, she'd rather do mma lol
It's not as if theres big names in wmma at her weight to fight.
Nunez has ran out of opposition because of her size and she's smaller than shields.

nunez would beat shields within 1 round. She'd just shoot, take her down and submit her easily. She's a BJJ black belt. Which means, if she gets a someone on the ground without years of experience, it's over..

What a surprise that you would come in here and make it about race.

Right, it's probably all in my head. You don't have a history of anti-black posts or anything.

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

But a WBC World Champion became a UFC Champion.

The reverse will never happen..

I think he actually has good intentions “technically”. But he’s also a dude that said he can fight.. but has never had any sanctioned fight ever.

So ultimately I think personally I give him a pass simply because the thinks what he means is sincere in subjects. But he needs to educate himself more and become more enlightened.

He’s a cvnt, always race baiting or running some silly conspiracy theories. Can’t prove a damn thing he claims but comes on here talking shyt. His best buddy is Travesty, so that’s all you need to know.

Damn, I stand corrected. That’s actually all I need to know.

In situations like that; One have to err on the side of caution. This girl was a soccer mom and was too brave for own good. She displayed a tremendous amount of heart in there against Claressa Shields. Even though she never tapped out; Yet she still was throwing nothing back. Therefore the referee had to call a halt to the action due to the excessive amount of head trauma she was absorbing.

I agree. I thought the ref coulda stopped it even sooner so he gave Elkin plenty of chances to stay in the fight. In no sense was this a controversial stoppage. Just like in boxing it don't matter if you won the last 9 rounds you can still lose it all in the 10th. That's all that happened here, a fighter who was up 20-18 going into the last rd got stopped on that last rd.

And Elkin's reaction wasn't one of anger at the fight being stopped which is often telling. She knew she was in a bad spot & wasn't mad in the moment at the ref.

You are right and I absolutely agree. She could have been seriously hurt in there if that fight had not been stopped. She could have easily loss consciousness and gone into a comatose state.

Where did i underestimate the work holm put in?

You said holms fought 5 years and got into the ufc when in reality she trained as a kickboxer for a few years, trained with an mma coach for boxing, than trained mma full time than fought 5 years. All this was in a span of 10-13 years where she already mixed 2 fighting styles and was familiar with mma so saying 5 years isnt that under estimating?
