Comments Thread For: Braekhus Explains Why Mini-Tournament Trumps A Shields Showdown

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Any hope for a clash between Claressa Shields and Cecilia Braekhus could for the time being remain limited to their recent war of words. The pair of unbeaten and undisputed World champions-Shields at middleweight (along with two belts at junior middleweight) and Braekhus a long-reigning welterweight champion-recently found themselves in a spirited exchange on social media. It's not the first time that such an incident has taken place, with at least one side of the argument offering a theory on its origins while doing her best to take it all in stride.

I hope Brakehaus doesn't fight her, I've no interested in an old past prime small woman getting dragged up to get silver backed so shields can say "I'm da best ever yo"

Fight someone your own age and size

Shields should wait her turn.

After Braekhus dominates McCaskill and Taylor, Shields should move all the way down to 147 and take her L too.

Braekhus has the 25 (soon 26) fight title defense streak going. It would be ridiculous for her to change divisions at this point.

that was funny but you’re still an a$$hole

I'm still waiting for the Thurman fight to be announced. That's the only Shields fight i'm interested in seeing.

They can’t help it, it’s an obsession. Politicians have made them proud of it.....online.

Anyway, it’s a matter of self preservation. She will not beat shields and she knows it. Shields is simply too good for any female fighter in any weight class. Olympic pedigree taken to the extreme, particularly in the less skilled world of women’s boxing

No

Shields is simply too young and too big

Cecilia is 40 years old and a slender, small framed woman

Shields is 25 and looks like she got some of Mike Tyson's DNA

It's got nothing to do with "too good" or "too skilled", Shields is just a physical freak who I don't enjoy seeing beat up on regular women.

And silverbacking is what Brock Lesnar used to do to people in the UFC, stop getting into your feelings looking for racism anywhere, it just means beating up on someone because you outsize and strength them massivley
