Shields remains the greatest women’s boxer of all time.
By some margin too. That will never change and has been proven now for all time.
Shields achieved far more than Katie Taylor or Amanda Serrano in boxing and outside of the sport.
She has actually proved a couple of things wrong in recent times.
Her popularity and support in the US and overseas keeps blowing up and getting bigger all the time, more and more as time goes on.
So much so she is even getting standing ovations at the NBA in the US. If her management and promotion can get her similar at big NFL matches in the US soon,
it will be checkmate in the marketing department of the US for Shields’ increasing and growing star domestically.
Then of course international expansion must be their focus on that front.
Boxing of course is all about international expansion as a sport at the moment as the sport is in a great place again and will be doing much more so as time goes on.
The important thing however that not many are talking about in a boxing sense from her last fight coming into this weekend’s big rematch with one of her rivals, is she can in
fact punch.
Her punching power up at heavyweight is much better as she doesn’t kill herself to make weight anymore and this was proven in some of her most recent bouts at heavyweight with a big knockout in one of them very recently.
A straight right hand down the middle sent her foe crashing to the canvas.
Out for the count.
So much so her opponent was actually knocked out in mid air, mid fall, before she hit the deck and landed on the canvas.
She stayed hit.
That is real power.
Shields will only improve her punching power by doing what she does best in training and fight to fight at the moment.
Stick to her boxing and fight her fight.
Never her opponent’s fight.
Roll on a big weekend this weekend for one of America’s treasures and the now adored America professional sports star (and boxer) Claressa Shields.
Here’s the Claressa Shields fight time worldwide this weekend.
