Comments Thread For: Shields vs. Habazin: No Sanctions To Be Issued Over Attack

[Robbie Barrett]

All this wouldn't have happened if they didn't have teams on the stage at weigh-ins. Nobody wants to see all those people anyway. Ban them from the stage.

Exactly! One was doing his job trying to look at the scale while Shields entire posse was on stage trying to block him and start problems. They need stop letting the entire family up on stage....

Shields and her family are thug trash!

This is not a random guy attacking a random guy.

This is the brother of a fighter violently attacking the trainer of the opposing fighter leaving him in hospital fighting for his life.

Shields (and the promoter) is responsible for her team.
He was apart of her entourage, she is responsible for him.

Idk that Shields IS responsible for him being there. It definitely doesnt sound like he was on the team. This is my first time hearing about this guy & Im from Michigan & been hearing about Shields since she was 20 or so fights into her amateur career.

Imagine if one of Tyson goons would have jumped Emmanuel Steward putting him in hospital when he fought Lennox

You think Tyson should not be sanctioned by the commission for it?

Tyson was more of a issue at his events than his goons ever were so this doesnt even compute to me its so hard to envision.

But yea if someone is a legit member of the team then that shines onto the fighter to some degree, but I still feel like the mfer whos doing sh^t is the guilty mfer not their friends & loved ones.

Andre Dirrell was never punished for what his ****** ass uncle, Leon Lawson Jr did, & it didnt reallllllly get mentioned half as much as this sh^t is being mentioned about Shields being at fault somehow for her brother.

I mean do you think if a fighter flips out on someone at a presser that the trainer needs to be sanctioned in some way to or is the fighter his own man & is making his own decisions.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Arthur Abraham wasn't punished when his bro kicked Miranda also. And Bowe never got any when that buddy of his kept hitting dudes with the giant 90s phone.

Everything about this pisses me off. From the chaotic actions at the weigh in, to the assault, to the bad light boxing is put in AGAIN, and of course above all to what Bashir and his family are going through.

Just sickening.

Shields sister has no reason to be on the stage , the blame rests on who gets clearance and that's shields ,the responsibility falls on the team allowing a disturbance in the event by having them involved.

Fan Man had his ass beating coming.

But yea the mfer doing sh^t is the one who should be getting got if anyone gets got. And he been gotten it sounds like in this situation by a higher ent^ty then the Michigan commission.

According to the MLive-The Flint Journal, the Michigan Unarmed Combat Commission, which licenses professional boxing and mixed martial arts events, will not place any sanctions on anyone associated with the Claressa Shields or Ivana Habazin - with respect to last Friday's incident before the two fighters were scheduled to make weight.

"An arrest warrant is being sought through the Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office by Flint police for the man suspected of assaulting the trainer. Although some outlets have pointed the finger at Shields' brother, law enforcement officials have not confirmed that as fact."

[Tha Kid]

That is disgraceful a 72 year old man was violently assaulted and left fighting for his life and zero sanctions on anyone.

What a Joke Michigan is.

I think they did the right thing. The person that committed the assault will be brought to justice. Now if there was proof that Clarissa's camp had any involvement then sanctions would be warranted. I definitely respect your side my man.
