Comments Thread For: Banks: Braekhus Needs 'A' Game Every Second to Beat Shields

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

If Cecilia Braekhus were to have a chance to defeat Claressa Shields, her trainer thinks she'd have to box better than she did on May 5th. Braekhus beat Kali Reis in their 10-round, 147-pound title fight at StubHub Center, but not before Reis dropped her in the seventh round and wobbled her again in the eighth.

I think anyone who know's boxing understand Braekhus probably should be closer to retirement than anything. I wouldn't fancy a fight between the 2 because Shields is waaay out of Braekhus league both skill and weight wise, The girl even sparred with Errol Spence..Shields has plenty of opponents around her own weight no need to be a weight bully picking on smaller women...

and Braekhus is cute but skill wise outside of that nice right hand she has don't seem to be too technical kinda erratic it's mostly just a matter of a lack of real competition for her If someone her size had the skills of Shields she would get washed...

Shields is an ugly ***** but she'd mop the floor with Cecelia.

Braekhus has been protected her entire career vs mediocre opposition, afraid to leave Europe and always getting the hometown nod... little quality in the higher weights, with the exception of Christina Hammer who Braekhus conveniently avoids... she has no power and has been exposed in her last 2 fights even though she won.. Shields has more natural talent but she was like when Layla fought, I'm Amazon vs the little people w/no real competition (Christy Martin had a jump more than 2 weight divisions for her fight.. nothing special about Braekhus, if she was in a lower division fighting those Mexican girls she would have had she would have lost years ago, as in example...

isn't shields like a super middleweight? i thought breakhus was a welterweight.

Home nod? Norway banned professional boxing until very recently and Cecilia had her first professional fight in Norway something like within the last year or two max.

Shields destroys this euro hypejob.

She should go after Cyborg, that's a fight she can win.

I love that Shields is fighting nothing but champions in all her bouts. **** if she gets through this fight she will go to unify the entire division.

This will be another Ali vs. Munguia situation if shields fights Cecila. It will be a disgusting public execution. If cecila is smart she will fight her at a catch weight of 150 to completely drain her and then she can beat Shields. Fighting at 154 is a wrap for cecila. No joke this is a public execution waiting to happen

Banks is only 1/4th of the trainer that Emanuel Steward was.
