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

[ShoulderRoll]

There are only two things stopping this fight: fear and common sense.

Braekhus can't beat Claressa and she knows it.

[GGG Gloveking]

She ducking

[Mammoth]

silverbacked

Pretty scummy thing for him to say

[millcitymauler]

It's a bit unfair to say Breakhus is ducking - she's a small framed career WW who makes the limit easily, even as she gets up there in age. Why should she be expected to move up and fight a young, strong steamroller who won a title 21 pounds heavier? I will say this though, if Claressa can somehow make it down to 147, she should be viewed as viable as any other woman for a shot at The First Lady.

Cecilia Braekhus, The First Lady have spoken.

The idea and concept of Cecilia Braekhus is great. Winner of Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano get the winner of Cecilia Braekhus vs Jessica McCaskill. I am all on board with this plan. My concern is, Claressa Shields vs Cecilia Braekhus, I feel is this fight materialize, this is going to be a pass the torch fight.

Stop race baiting please

They can't help it.

Boxing for some reason brings out the racist in idiots more than any other sport

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

Bullshxt.

Shields is a 2 time Olympic champion.

You don't do that without skill.

She's the exact opposite of Brock Lesnar or Mike Tyson.

She doesn't just knock everyone out in a round or two due to her overwhelming physicality.

She outboxes her competition due to her extensive amateur background.

That's why she has relatively few knockouts.

Total agreement on both points, they can’t help it, nationalist racist incel types have latched on to the sport. My guess is 4chan has several boards dedicated to boxing.

As for the 2 time Olympic gold medalist and 3 weight world champion....clearly she is in a class all to herself. Agree 110% with your post. Stellar job.

[djbiancafrost]

I love the female boxing now, more personality, wars care of by Shields and media reporting their fights and all.

Big Shoutout to Oldskoolg and The D3vil! You two were on point like a pair of Stacy Adams.
