Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields: My Goal is To Knock Gabriels Out as Soon as The Chance Comes

That's their fault.
I can't see them going a full 3 min

No, they train for the fight they're given. There are plenty of women in MMA, for instance, who get along just fine doing five minute rounds just like the men. I've sparred with plenty of women who could last 15+ 3 min rounds. Women in Muay Thai do just fine with 3 min rounds. The two minute rounds are just sexist coddling by fossils who don't want to let women fight by the same ruleset, "to keep them safe" and it's inarguable that TKO's are harder to come by with a third less time per round to work with.

You guys really dont understand that the women have one third less time to achieve a ko. of course ko percentages are going to be lower

Women's fights are still 10 2 min rounds at championship level.

As for the claim by Shields, she's got a 15% knockout ratio. She's got pillow fists even for women, who have a harder time getting knockouts with only 2 mins to work with at a go.

So my comment stands

And will go 12 rounds.

Gabriels is a big girl with a very good chin. Shields' punching power won't faze her. Shields by boring 8-2 decision.

Exactly! That's how I see it playing out as well. Shields does try to knockout all over her opponent's, but she just doesn't posses a knockout punch.
Imagine if she did, she would be like another version of Iron Mike Tyson, and they'd give her another nick name like Claressa '*******' Shields.

Fact's! She hasn't knocked out any of her past 9 opponent's, in the last 5 year's, but she's going to knockout this one.
Who by the way she didn't knockout when they fought the first time around, but she's going to do it in the rematch.
Because she didn't find the fountain of youth, or the fountain of power, she's found the fountain of mouth.
Claressa Shields isn't going to knockout Hanna Gabriels, barring a freak accident in the ring, she'll win by decision as she usually dose.

Hanna is 40 years old now, so who knows Claressa just might get that long awaited KO she always talks about but never gets.
