Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields: This is a Big Moment For Detroit and Myself

She’s not the face of boxing. I don’t like that she claims that.

It would be better if she claimed to be the face of women’s boxing instead…but even that is questionable. Katie Taylor drew almost 20,000 at Madison Square Garden.

Amanda Serrano, a Puerto Rican & Katie Taylor, an Irish woman drew 20,000 to Madison Square Garden. Don't forget the ethnic matchup that made that possible.

She doesn't have anybody on her level around her weight class.

There's nobody between 147-168 in the world who'd be favored against her except when Marshall was & she whooped her.

That's not her fault

She's more famous than all of them in America. She's a 2x Olympic Gold Medalist, who's had numerous ESPN & mainstream media appearances & a movie being made about her life.

It's more about a lack of "ethnic" dance partners to draw Latinos or White people rather than her.
