    Shields is a magnificent talent!

    She has speed, power, aggressive, tough and can box or ****!

    Can’t see her losing to anyone from 168-154 no time soon, sad that the talent pool albeit better than its ever been but still not that good in women’s boxing!

    Most of the best female fighters are in the much lower weights and Shields is in the divisions where the best are spread very thin!

    I commend what she’s doing and trying to get people to watch women box more and she’s done great for herself without a big name promoter!

    Congratulations to her on a great win and I look
    Forward to see what’s next

      ... I like Claressa Shields as well... (but I don't think beating Hammer was a "great win"... the Russian is but an underwear model...)

            Shields is just starting to scratch the surface of how good she can be under the tutelage of John David Jackson.

            If Braekhus won't go to 154 then Claressa can just hold on to all the belts and make title defense after title defense. Don't see her losing any time soon.

            Maybe she can achieve the women's equivalent of Joe Louis' record of 25 title defenses in one division.

              I hope she will be making some good money as well...

                It's not about the work put in , it's generating the income to pay the girls.. would you invest your money in a business if it does not generateb a profit for you ?

                  Women's boxing needs more latinas.

                  They can get pretty crazy at times.

                  Bring that energy into the ring!

                    1. Women's boxing has not evolved enough to even slightly compare with men's boxing. That's why it still looks armature-ish. 2. Women do not work just as hard as men. Why are they only fighting two minute rounds? Why are they still two minutes? After all, it's not like they are fighting males! Whenever a fighter get some momentum, the round is over. There would be more KOs if round didn't end any time a fighter gets in trouble. Also, TEN already short rounds for a CHAMPIONSHIP fight? Are you kidding me? A men's fight is almost twice as long! That's why it doesn't compare and doesn't warrant the same pay!

                      Braekhus is too small. If they were the same size I'd pick Cecilia to win.
