Let’s look at the punch stats tonight.
Claressa Shields won a convincing points decision by UD on the scorecards and was a cut above as a boxer in all departments.
Conclusively winning the rematch tonight in boxing.
The stats reflected as much a short time ago:
Total Punch Stats Table (Landed Punches – Full Fight):
| Category | Claressa Shields | Franchon Crews-Dezurn | Notes/Insight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Punches Landed | 425 | 110 | Shields outlanded her opponent nearly 4:1 overall, showcasing superior output and defense. |
| Head Punches Landed | 354 | 79 | Shields targeted the head effectively with jabs and combinations; Crews-Dezurn’s head shots dropped off after early rounds. |
| Body Punches Landed | 71 | 31 | Shields used body work to sap energy in mid-to-late rounds; Crews-Dezurn landed sporadically but couldn’t sustain. |
| Power Punches Landed (approx., subset of total) | ~220-240 | ~60-70 | Shields’ power shots (hooks, rights) were cleaner and more frequent; contributed to the shutout feel. |
| Jabs Landed (approx.) | ~150-180 | ~30-40 | Shields’ jab set up everything, controlling range and pace. |
Shields moves on now to more big fights and big opportunities.
The Laila Ali fight remains elusive but maybe a Katie Taylor catchweight could be looked at.
Or matching her against a much taller and bigger foe at heavyweight to even up the clear amount of better boxing ability she has compared to her piers.
Those look like some of the options.
Dmitry Salita, her promoter, can get in on all this new attention for Shields as well by trying to get her an appearance at a NFL game in the US.
