– I read somewhere that there will be a bio movie about Ms. Shields coming out soon………
Greetings brother. Not too many athletes have had a biopic made while they’re still active. I know Ali did, but I cannot recall anyone else in boxing at least.
True.
A person with only 5 fights fighting for a world title wow!!
What do you expect? It’s women’s boxing.
Don’t get me started.
Right?!
It’s the upper weights of women’s boxing, it is a puddle of talent. At Heavyweight, the ladies have 17 active in the last year, of which only 6 have a winning record, and maybe 2 could have been considered for this fight…one of those was short and not too athletic looking (6-0 Colombian), while the other, Ms. Perkins was the only one that was even possible to fight. She’s good on paper, except she is 42 yrs old. After this fight, Shield’s is basically done with the division.
I once had a car that was built in Flint, Michigan.
Total piece of shit. I will never, ever again buy a car that was built in the State of Michigan.
Shields looked strong and pretty much unbeatable at Heavyweight. Im surprised she was able to jump so far up and hold the weight so well. We Figured it would be hard to find her good fights at the weight. The opponent is 5-0, but we should remember Shields been fighting for titles since her 2nd fight. Her first fight was against “Franchon Crews
Dezurn”, who soon become unified champ at middleweight.
Shields always fought the very best they could find.
Shield’s career has taken an interesting turn. Jumping all the way up to heavyweight and winning a title is no easy task. I’m thinking that going back down would be a no-no considering the history of those who have tried and failed. Unless it’s a mega fight, I don’t see Clarissa going back down if she gets to become undisputed.
15-0 with three knockouts. LOL!!!!
To be fair the two minute rounds probably contribute to the lack of knockouts.
Great match up, a woman with five fights fighting for a world title, against a two time Olympian and world champion, maybe their trying to get a knock out for pillow fisted Clarissa!
