Shields is way too dominant in these fights to only have 3 KOs :russell: how is she so far ahead of the competition, yet can't get a stoppage off them?
Yea even if you don't got one shot power(she doesn't) she should be able to at least overwhelm her opponents to force a ref or corner stoppage. Can't watch 10 rounds of that bullshyt

Realistically how many BBWs are left for Shields to cycle through 3x a year, I can't take the husky divisions seriously in women's boxing and combat sports in general. There's no talent out there
One of them needs to get on PEDs like ol girl who fought crews-dezurn so she has a proper challenge

Yeah Claressa needs to go down to 154 or 160

And she looks like she can still get down to that weight anyway. That is where the competition is in the women's game. Even the biggest Claressa supporters will start to dislike watching her beat up on women that she is overmatched with

She fought at those weights for 6-7 years and the only one with a half decent skill level that she fought was Marshall, ain't really shyt down there either except probably fighting the winner of a Marshall/Green rematch. I do want to see what Thibeault becomes in a few years, she looks like she has potential but Claressa has to wait on it and then slim back down.

2 minute rounds seriously disrupt the pace of a fight. As soon as these fighters get in a groove, ding the round is over.

Lani Daniels would've gotten stopped if it was 3 minute rounds. When Clarissa was hitting her with those body shots, she would freeze up each time, and all that running she was doing would've been came to a halt by the 4th or 5th round.

60 seconds is a LONG time to try to survive. 2 minute rounds handicap the fighters.

Gang violence...

she has durability and good reflexes but her straight left and right punches are just "pushes" instead of being "thrown". the only proper punch i see her throw with a good whip-action is the hook to the body.

she also tends to just fight instead of setting up a series of shots, so there is often too much randomness to get the KO in 2 minute rounds.
