Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields: I Just Had A Never Quit Attitude Every Round

Good for her, hopefully we don't have to hear her b**ch about everything anymore. She is MMAs problem now.

[jonnyc420]

Hopefully boxing fans support her. This was her first MMA fight, coming away with a win and without being submitted or choked out is already a huge win for her. Now it's about developing more.

She was fighting a bar tender.

If she thinks she’s good why don’t she fight Amanda Nunez. Wouldn’t last 5 seconds that fight

[RightJabLikeZab]

She would have quit if that soccer mom she fought knew how to properly apply an armbar.



Who? Ray Mercers punchers chance worked out for him once against dumb sloth Sylvia but he'd struggle to recreate that result. Holly Holm boxed, kickboxed and was 5 years into her MMA career when she won the UFC title...with a kick, so not strictly a "boxer". Not sure who the third one is.

I'm shocked that you're so negative about her transition to mma. I'm guessing it's because you've spent so much time arguing on here with boxing fans? Yeah, she wasn't perfect, far from it, but it's only been a couple months and only her first fight.

Overhyped in boxing and she'll be severely overhyped in MMA. Think about it, she was a " main event " in her MMA debut. And her opponent was just awful. As soon as she fights a real MMA artist , she's getting walloped. Take that to the bank. I don't care it's its 3 months from now , or a year from now, she's getting slaughtered. Any one of us even commenting on this forum here could've avoided that stiffs takedowns. That was the most pathetic MMA bout I have ever witnessed. If not the worst, then close to it . If she didn't win that fight, and she was a few moments away from losing, that would've been it for her. She's not far off from getting wacked right out of MMA. She looked horrendous.

Well, let's let the record show somehow that she narrowly lost!
Nope... can't do that it always show a TKO(3)!
You are going to have to live your entire life knowing she somehow won a crossover fight. uggghhhh
Maybe if you were in the opponents corner you could have willed her in to win? missed opportunity.

Yall suckas are almost as good at hatin as she is at fighting. She won, regardless…

why so negative and angry?? what are you doing so great with your life?

[kingstip9]

She was quite good. Watched some of it, Elkin was on top of her on the ground but didn't really do anything, didn't land a good strike.

Shields should fight Marshall, that's the biggest women's boxing fight. There's not much money in mma, not that much in boxing either for women but more than mma.

There’s absolutely no money or attention at all in women’s boxing

This hiding behind her "it was her debut" **** is so dumb. If you look at other examples of athletes transitioning from another sport - Kayla Harrison beat the same girl in the first round easily in her debut.Ronda beat a 6-1 chick in 25 seconds in her debut. Brock fought a can (an olympic medallist though) but beat him in like a minute. Greg Hardy beat a 4-0 guy in 57 seconds.Cro Cop beat a 7-1 guy in 39 seconds. Kimbo beat a 10-9 guy in 19 seconds.

It was a ****ty opponent and a ****ty performance.
