Comments Thread For: BoxingScene.com's Television Pick of The Week - April 11

Pick It: Claressa Shields vs. Christina Hammer (Saturday, Showtime, 9:10 PM EST). No, it's not the biggest women's boxing match of all time but it's the biggest of a new era in the US and that's good enough. If boxing is going to have a women's movement to one day rival the success experienced in MMA, it's going to take the type of attention, matchmaking, and promotion this one is getting. The 24-year old Shields (8-0, 2 KO), a two-time US Olympic Gold medalist, won a pair of super middleweight belts in her fourth fight and moved down the scale to win three more belts at middleweight.

Wish this guy would quit bringing up ibo(not worth a capitalize)I don't care what his reasons are we CANT AFFORD a 5th.If the BWAA picks THE RING's or TRANS and JUST uses those boxing would be in a MUCH better place.The media has waaay more juice then people sometime realize and SOME(dougie fisher)don't mind using that power to further their own bias.Use it in a way that could REALLY help sport.Can you imagine most of these title holders just being called as the #2 or 4 contender instead of a 4th champ,being a top 10 contender would mean more like it used to and being a CHAMP would REALLY mean something.Pipe dream boxing never has been able to get out of its own way.
