That's only because it's true. And the truth must hurt you, huh?

What? Is she your boyfriend?

He wants a real man. But im sure PenlsRoll would let her go up in him though!

How come no one critisizing Shields for fighting a "euro bum" She appears to be unranked, hasn't fought in 2 years and her bios say her most notable fight was losing to Cecilia Braekhus 5+ years ago by UD shutout 100-90....

There aren't many female boxers period so I am sure she will have to fight her share of bums just to get fights.

I think her division has like 30 fighters total in the whole world.

Habazin has won the IBF 147 title and the IBO 160 title, and all three of her losses were to world titlists (Braekhus, Lauren, Bajic).

She last fought in December 2018, so less than 13 months ago. Not two years.

Shields is the favorite and she should be, but Habazin is not a bum.

Its women's boxing.

Outside of a few elite women most of the fighters are bums. Euro or otherwise.

I never said she was just what everyone said about Crawford vs Kavaliauskas and he was top 10 ranked but still a "Euro bum" because they couldn't pronounce his name. And yes I realize competition is thin for women especially once you get above welterweight.

Then what is so special about Shields? Because she's American? If Cecilia Braekhus was American we'd never stop hearing about her.

Kavaliauskas wasn't a former world champion and he was coming off a very mediocre performance in which he was lucky to get a draw against Robinson.

I don't consider Kavaliauskas a bum, to be clear, but it's easy to see where that perception came from.

Because she's one of the few elite.

Two time gold medalist, champion in two weight classes, and has unified all the belts at middleweight.

Another Shields win.
