lol these conmen like floyd and dana know how to trick the public with garbage fights. hey it works so good job i guess. we are going to see a lot of crossovers coming up to pad these guys pockets.

IF they did it.. they should do a mix of Boxing Rules in the Octagon. Completely stand up, MMA Gloves, fighting in and from the clinch.. idk about Elbows tho.

If it's MMA rules, I will buy the PPV 100%!! I think Claressa can win if she has 3 months of good take down defense. Make it happen, White!

lol hell no, Amanda lays her out. Shields has no power.

Nunes only has so much star power. I dont see how this does more than her usual fights

[Queen_Leia]

If this is Boxing rules, Shields dominates her if it's MMA rules, Nunes stops her.

I would love nothing more than to see Nunes knock Shields out in the cage, and if that fight gets made under MMA rules that is exactly what will happen. Shields has no power but Nunes can legitimately crack with those small gloves on.

Shields is much bigger than Nunes naturally shes fought as high as 168 so yeah Amanda is a better puncher without a doubt but I'm sure with 4 oz gloves Shields could hurt her as well based on size and technique alone. If its in a cage with 4 oz gloves but only punches I got Shields all day, but if its MMA rules then of course Nunes via head kick.
