Great for her. At least the diehards like us that order this will get to see her.

She will make women's boxing! Without her, women's boxing is nondescript.

She is the only female boxer that has impressed me, a real good talent.
Considering that Ronda Rousey is as a big draw as most of the men boxers, i would love to see Claressa getting some love.

Lets see if she can be the female Rousey

she wont be hyped to the heavens, be used as prop to beat the best male fighter in the world, doubt she gets all those endorsements or movie deals

She'll do just fine being the first Claressa Shields....not a hype job who had a dozen fights and considered the baddest woman alive
