Even Nunes' trainer said Nunes can't be Shields in boxing, and we all know Shields would get tapped out, choked out, or leg-kicked to hell by Nunes.

She’s the most annoying boxer alive and I can’t wait for her to lose.

OMG you hate something. There’s a ****ing surprise.

I don't know about that. At the end of the day when it comes to women, even moreso than men. Size matters. Shields is naturally 160+ pounds, and Nunes is naturally 135 or 40 pounds.

It's like when Conor moved up and lost to Nate Diaz, who's primarily a striker an not known to have the best ground game. Conor, while clearly the better fighter and would no doubt beat Diaz 10/10 if they were the same size, lost because Diaz was simply too big for him more than anything else..

I think the same thing goes in Shields vs Nunes. We have to stop acting like just because someone does MMA that automatically means they can beat professional boxers just because they don't do MMA full time. You have plenty instances of guys who consider themselves MMA fighters getting their azz handed to them by regular joes who can naturally fight all over YouTube.

I think ultimately boxing is the harder sport all around that takes years to learn while a pro boxer could learn basic MMA in months an prove to be pretty good at it.. .
