Based on what we seen last night with Cederroos and tonight with Jimenez...how would Shields fare with either at super middleweight?
I've noticed the self-appointed GWOAT never ever mentions the name of the woman who had her number in the amateurs Savannah Marshall. Hmm I wonder why, certainly someone who wants to be known as the GWOAT should want to avenge her amateur loss. It's quite inexplicable, I thought she wanted to prove she's the best. Quack, quack. The Swede and the Mexican man-beast both beat the crap out of her.
I've watch all of Marshall fights since she turned pro and I have to say, she has a stalking style, places her punches well. In 8 fights, Marshall has stopped 6 fighters and the two fighters she didn't stop, she dropped. The two fighters with winning records on her resume, she dropped one of them and stopped the other. Is she ready for Shields? who knows, that why they fight the fights..Shields defense is excellent, however i think Marshall can stop Shields before Shields stops Marshall. The two undefeated 168 lbers Cederroos and Jimenez, both 5'11, will be the first two fighters that Shields fight that will actually punch back.
Those two women last night fought like two ladies picked off the street at random and paid to fight. Zero skill whatsoever and wild winging punches. Shields gets alot of flak but she's very good boxer with a jab and defense. She made hammer miss most of her punches and almost had her out. Shields sucks as a person but would easily beat these two crude women in the ring.
Funny thing is the “Mexican man beast” (is that what we are officially calling her now?) Should have lost but it walked down & made the Wig-less wonder fight down to her level. it would be an interesting fight with shields Shields definitely has more skill. But the man-beast looked unholy
There is no doubt that Shields is the more superior boxer but what sets Cederros and Jimenez apart from best opponents is their physical athleticism and physical size. Espinosa and Dezurn are far better boxers than Cederros and Jimenez and yet the 5'11 women won their fight because they have the intangibles. Neither fight will be easy for Claressa, which is what we want to see...you know, an opponent that will actually punch back.
And what happens when Shields completely shuts down Jimenez/Cederros? Sorry but those two looked like chickens fighting. Not an ounce of skill to land a meaningful punch. Neither will be able to land a single punch on Claressa because those punches can be seen from a mile away traveling at snail speed. I see Shields peppering both of them non stop, they can come forward and be aggressive all they want. They'll be even uglier at the end of the fight than before it started. You know Hammer was supposed to beat Shields. The one that was supposed to "punch back". Guess what... she did punch back. She just couldn't hit anything, and here's a fighter with far quicker handspeed (and straighter punches) than these two. I don't like Clarissa as a person, but I'm not gonna be blinded by bias either. If someone's going to beat Clarissa, it ain't the man woman or the wigster.
Don't think Shields wants any of that North East Brit Level heat with Sexy Slick Savanna the Switch Hitter This content is protected Serious slickness This content is protected This content is protected
