Comments Thread For: Habazin: Shields Doesn't Have Power; Just Constantly Punches

[famicommander]

I wish Lucia Rijker had come along a bit later than she had.

17-0-0 in boxing with 14 KO, 2 world titles
37-0-1 in kickboxing with 25 KO, 4 world titles
Trained in judo since age 6

She would've dominated women's MMA. There's nobody in MMA with a lifelong grappling background AND that level of striking ability. She's also a phenomenal athlete in general, winning a junior Dutch national championship in fencing and playing on the Dutch national softball team.

Exactly, I never understood how fighters can say their opponent has no power when said opponent scores a knockdown (and not a flash knockdown either).

She's comparing Shields to the likes of Ann Wolfe, Lucia Rijker, Anne Sophie Mathis, and Cecilia Braekhus because those are the ladies Shields has been claiming to be better than.

Habazin has actually fought Braekhus so I believe her when she says Braekhus hits harder than Shields. And Braekhus herself isn't even known as a power puncher at 147.

He did not Deontay Wilder a *****. It'll be awhile before I give any ****s about lady boxing again. Anne Wolfe is forever the lady champ, **** it.

The First Lady Cecilia Braekhus is the champ.

She beat Mathis twice, she beat St John, she beat Lamare, she beat Farias, she beat Hallbeck.

Plus she chased Holly Holm out of the welterweight division first, then entirely out of the sport of boxing.

Hope the ref that let holm continue after peeling her off the ropes we fired. He literally had to untangle her and stand her up lol.

One of the most disgusting displays of referee negligence seen in this modern era. Sadly he worked again like a month or two after that fight and has been working consistently since and still is. Hell he even officiated another Holly Holm fight in 2012. I can't believe her corner didn't throw in the towel in that Mathis fight and how could they let her get in with that ref again. Her opponent for that fight, Diana Prazak even looks like a decent puncher on paper for a woman with 56% KO ratio.

I don't know much about her honestly but seeing all this now it's no wonder she retired from boxing.

[YoungManRumble]

You guys sound silly.





When even Steve Smoger isn't willing to let it continue you know that's something.

Well said @ bolded part.

This is one of my fav female KO's. One of the few cold KO's I've seen from the ladies.

[Buggy bear]

Why even bother interviewing this girl, it was a ****ing mismatch from the moment it was announced and to make a comment like " she just punches" well last time I looked at boxing that's what it's about isn't it ?..

Yeah, that's brutal. She fell just like J-Rock did from Charlo.

Quite a few women on both the boxing and MMA side have power. It's just that they don't often need to use it. Randamie knocked out a dude, and look what Amanda Nunes did to Rousey and Cyborg.

As someone who was a HUGE fan of women's boxing back when it was at its peak; the Christy Martins, the Ann Wolfes, the Anne Mathis's...I laugh when people say women fighters have no power.

[Nusky]

Women's boxing has potential but they need to make it 3min. rounds and 12rds for championship fights. You'll see More KO's and better fights overall if that were the case.

Habazin, you and every other fighter in the history of mankind sound like idiots when you state that your opponent doesn't have power even though you were clearly dropped in the fight. Take your loss and shut up. Moron....

[Rip Chudd]

I imagine that it's hard to get knockouts with 2 minute rounds.

I could of sworn they did away with that and now fight 3 minute rounds
