Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields barely breaks sweat en route to knockout win

[DougalDylan]

Her GWOAT problem is at heavyweight there are only 21 active hws, only 15 of which have ever won a fight and 11 of which are ranked as competent,
At the lighter weights , light weight and below it's hundreds of girls.

I'm not saying shes not a good fighter but picking up a belt at HW is meaningless, light weight is where the quality drops off, get to middleweight and there is a lot less competition, above that ..

Claressa Shields said she would have more power behind her shots Saturday in Detroit, and she proved true to her, dropping and stopping Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse in the second round.

Clarrissa is trying everything to gain traction with her career in order to be a huge star. There is simply no competition and there is no other fighter in the horizon that would start any type of buzz. Her lack of power is another hold back.

I respect Shields for being significantly better than any of her opponents. She definitely has skills while the vast majority of her opponents have very basic abilities.

It's a shame she doesn't have someone like Anne Wolfe that could give her a proper test. Anne was a savage in the ring and displayed power and a penchant for violence that would have made things interesting.

I have tried to like and appreciate Shields but it's tough with some of the antics surrounding her. The beatdown of James Bashir Ali standing out in my head....and as I'm watching the fight last night, I believe I heard her followers chant "whoop that trick"...classy.

Whoop that trick !

I think the only fighter on Claressas level as far as toughness and athleticism is Cyborg. But Claressa wins boxing and Cyborg wins in MMA so I think the only middle ground is BKFC.

Good for her getting a KO. That's all I want to say about that result.

Maybe she will challenge the 130 pound amateur white body who KHTFO in sparring, or even he real GWOAT Amanda or Katie. What a F-in joke

Who do you suggest she fight next? Everybody she fights is going to be overmatched, no matter what division she fights in.

well, no. She is too enormous! She can't reach the Serrano's or Taylors where she would not be favored. Women are not suppose to be that big so she's the only one with talent around her.

Being as though there are currently only about 5 legit female boxers worldwide I would say all 5 of them are fighting overmatched competition unless they're fighting each other. I don't see people pointing out that fact with the other girls so just let Ms Shields enjoy her victory tonight without all the damn hate. Sheesh!

Yes - what’s all the vitriol here? I thought it was a masterful performance by Shields both on a technical and power level. Superb boxing skills and a great counter puncher as well.
