I think all fans in combat sports want action, I don't think they want you to get hurt, but they want to see you be brave and actually fight, instead of trying to win a decision, running around, jabbing your way to a points victory. A wise man told me once, in boxing, it's nice to be able to stick and move, box, it's a beautiful thing but if you're a Fighter! At some point or another you have to show that you're a Fighter...

A loud, angry, ugly and boring female fighter with no power and a very unlikeable personality. Can’t imagine why she isn’t popular.

If she just kept her mouth shut, did not feel entitled , did not walk around with a chip on her shoulder I’m sure people would be happy . Let’s be honest she is not box office for a whole number of reasons . If you believe the old adage the cream always rises to the top then she is sour and leaves a nasty taste in your mouth .

She Is cursed with minimal power

If she didn't have a chip on her shoulder,
she wouldn't be any good as a fighter.
Boxers have to megaphone they're greatness first.
Talk the talk, then go into the ring and walk the walk.

shes an obnoxious ****


she could only knock out 2 women but thinks she can beat all these male fighters. the powers that be are hyping her to the moon because they are desperate for a female star, this is like rhonda rhousey all over again and its gotten to her head, i cant wait to some random small female finally beats her and she can shut up about how she would beat keef thurman and the time she got dropped by a random journeyman in sparring doesnt count because he must have loaded his gloves for a sparring session with her lmfao

Pillow Fists, as she’s known, got KTFO in sparring by a 135 pound amateur white boy with 7 amateur fights and who never made it as a Pro, because she started talking sheet. Then to cover it up, she lied and said the trainer took the padding out of the gloves. She hasn’t had a KO or TKO in 6 years. Can you imagine the beat down Ann Wolfe, Layla, Lucia Riker, and Christy Martin would put on her dumb arse? Even little Alicia Baumgardner has been calling her arse out on social media and Pillow Fists excuse is that she can’t make 147. Please, STFU already and stop blaming your inability to put any girl away because of the diarrhea that comes out of your mouth from drinking the Flint water.

She aint lyin'.

All the talented Black fighters who aren't big knockout punchers get tagged as "boring" & get accused of running because they're more talented than everybody else.

It happened to Pernell, Floyd, Rigo, Hopkins, and now it happens to Shields, Haney, and Shakur.

Claressa Shields: 2×Olympic gold-medalist, 13×World-champion, 3×Undisputed-champion in two divisions. It can't possibly be beyond the miniscule nuts of a sexist and incon****uously racist mug to recognize and acknowledge Greatness
