Flint native boxer Claressa Shields talks with sports director Brandon Green ahead of her fight at Little Caesars Arena on July 27 against Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse.
It's not that respect worthy. The heavyweights are a thinner division, especially for women. The only way she could find someone to seriously compete with is if she dropped a lot of weight. That's not feasible. She wants more belts and to further cement her legacy and this is her only realistic option. There isn't going to be a heavyweight fight that she won't be able to dominate. Her options are: go up in weight, tread water, retire.
@@yvetterenee8256 If it was something that would be difficult for her then fair enough but it's going to be a step down in competition. Don't get me wrong, she's extending her legacy, but...is there any chance she's not going to dominate? I accept your point though. The number of weight classes alone is special. It's just this particular weight class change that isn't as special as the previous ones.
Keep it real about three days ago. I was having a conversation with my wife about Clarissa shield being an all-time athlete. In fact, I was referring to three women, Simone, Biles, Serena Williams, and Clarissa shields. I believe that they are the greatest athlete on the planet.
Stop. You're pandering to women. Serena is retired so she's no longer an athlete and they play less sets in tennis. Simone is a gymnast (which I don't watch so I can't agree or disagree) , and Clarissa is usually the larger more athletic woman in EVERY one of her fights but has very few actual K.O.s. Been watching boxing since 1985 and that absolutely matters in terms of greatness. I actually watch women's boxing and it unlike women's tennis is still decades behind men's boxing so she can't be in greatest athlete conversations. They still fight ten 2 minute rounds. So they literally have a 20min fight vs a 36min fight and that tosses you out of any conversation as best athlete. Womens olympic athletes are on equal footing as men so they can be considered on those lists but as long as you only have to do 30-50% of the same sport you just can't be mentioned.
the thing about female weight class, is that I saw on wikipedia and it shows the weight class as this. Female boxers who weigh over 175 pounds (79 kg; 12 st 7 lb) are considered heavyweights by 2 of the 4 major boxing organizations: the IBF and the WBC. The WBA and WBO don't have a female heavyweight world title but another thing i found on wiki says this female boxing current champions Super middleweight (168 lb/76.2 kg) Light Heavyweight (175 lb/79.4 kg) Heavyweight (+200 lb/+90.7 kg or +168 lb/+76.2 kg) that doesn't make sense.
She basically the female version of floyd mayweather and i dont see her losing. Her will is to strong and her boxing level is on a different planet. Both fighters do not have losing in there mind and they making it a point to where their not going to lose
She blew up! I’m being real put a few bucks on the other chick! One is natural other was eating up! I’m telling you just be safe on that draft kings or what ever put some money on Vanessa Shields’s is the best women fighter but!!! It’s weight classes for a reason! Going up 3 weight class is wild

I’m telling you just be safe on that draft kings or what ever put some money on Vanessa Shields’s is the best women fighter but!!! It’s weight classes for a reason! Going up 3 weight class is wild I’m getting this fight on dazn for sure! Upset I can’t go back in in Texas! But I’m hyped for this! Because going up like this with no tune up as you move up is wild Duran was a legend & he tried this & lost bad!
Greatest Woman of All Time [GWOAT] is Maryam [the virgin Mary] peace and blessings be upon her. She’s the only woman الله mentioned by name. وَإِذْ قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَاكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَاصْطَفَاكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ And [mention] when the Angels said, "O Maryam [Mary], indeed الله has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds. Al-Qur’ān -Surah Āli- Imran : 42
😂😂😂 idk about kill because shields ate her way up & been going crazy on the weights just to keep at that weight! On is just their! & been their Going up 3 weight class man idk we will see this why im hyped for this one! Just because we don’t really know! But I think she might take it But I’m putting a few buck on the other chick because them underdog rates is big money! 😮
One problem with that claressa you aint roy Jones your good but not on that level good luck to you but i think you might have made a mistake jumping up that weight your trying to run before you can walk but god loves a trier we gotta give you props for challenging yourself can't wait to see who wins this fight
Bro she is equally as great as roy Jones is in their respective professions!!! She is a 3 x undisputed champion bro she is one of the best female fighters who's ever lived so I disagree she is definitely on roy Jones level
Yeah but she's not fighting the competition at Roy Jones fought.. so she doesn't have to be as good as he was and she is challenging herself, to fight stronger girls
when roy did it thats when he started losing . fight Alycia Baumgardner instead , your head and ego getting too big . I like you as a fighter but stay humble.
Alycia if I'm not mistaken is a few weight classes below Clarissa (as a middleweight) and won't go up to fight Clarissa. Clarissa cleared out her division and the two people folks want her to fight failed their drug test and are not even in her weight class. Going Heavyweight is her only way of getting real competition right now.
I can’t lie, I’m a huge fan of BOXING!!! Love flying all over for good events, but Claressa fights be boring… and that’s saying a lot because a lot of people don’t watch the women, but they be throwing them thangs all 10 rounds!!! Fight might not be a KO, but dammit you get ya money worth!!! Claressa started her steer at 168lbs, and moved all the way down to 140lbs, and 147lbs to become undisputed and still can’t knock anyone out… but love jumping in MENS business… her fiancé is only there for the check!!! Y’all didn’t notice they broke up for 1 year????
You're sound like a male chauvanist. I agree with one thing you said though. She should get rid of her fiance. He doesn't seem like the right man. I'll pray for her. 🙏🏽
She don't sell tickets, they mostly buy up her tickets and give them away, that's why she never fights in Vegas, to be booked in Vegas you have to sell tickets
It's easier to fight closer to your walk around weight. Tell AB to do that. I thought we didn't like weight draining fighters. Like I said, run it back with Mikaela she at 147 now. Get busy Big Dawg
She'll do everything except fight AB. Interviewer: Who do you want to fight next? Her: You know, I'm from Flint.. I wanna Wrestle an alligator. Boxing fans: Huh?!

Very impressed with this lady she's smokin the competition.. .
I know Ppl ain't a fan of her personality but going up In weight to fight.. gotta respect that
Her personality is fine for this field. Most boxers are arrogant and delusional. People are intimidated by her confidence and abilities.
I think her personality is great. She's a champ and confident. Ppl always want ppl to act to their liking all the time which isn't realistic

There isn't going to be a heavyweight fight that she won't be able to dominate. Her options are: go up in weight, tread water, retire.
@@BadgerUKvideo ,It certainly is respect worthy. How many other women or men compete in as many weight classes as Claressa?
@@yvetterenee8256 If it was something that would be difficult for her then fair enough but it's going to be a step down in competition.

Much respect to you for supporting women athletes and treating them with respect.

Serena Williams retired a very long time ago.
Get real they are woman so they aren't even in the top 100.000 of all time. Get real fool
She’s has certainly made some great accomplishments and still challenging herself respect to her
Let MJB another female All Time GWOAT walk you out
I would love that too but She is more Sexy Redd or Glo chick to See MJB walk her out would be off ass fuck
I have to get my dispatcher to get me to The D. Clarissa is a beast and I wish can get under a PPV fight card. Keep grinding baby girl ✊🏾

Beautiful lady
“Put some more strength in my punches “ she the most decorated with the lowest kos lol 😂… I think she wins by decision if she wins ..
She may surprise you. And if she wins by decision of any kind, she has my respect. KOs are a bonus, but doesn't take away from her accomplishments.
That’s crazy she don’t get the respect like a male would with her accomplishments
Joanisse looks like Mayer low-key 🤷🏾♂️
Damn Shields looking diesel
Nice and beautiful

She took the glasses off and got eye bags from hell:)
Did she just say " i gt the skil to beat any female boxer in the world" ? Its good she not sating males this time ..maybe she regained sum sanity

@@tcarmichael3958, She is as good as he was. She's undisputed in 3 weight classes and fought the best. Not sure why you guys can't see that.
when roy did it thats when he started losing . fight Alycia Baumgardner instead , your head and ego getting too big . I like you as a fighter but stay humble.
Alycia if I'm not mistaken is a few weight classes below Clarissa (as a middleweight) and won't go up to fight Clarissa. Clarissa cleared out her division and the two people folks want her to fight failed their drug test and are not even in her weight class.

I can’t lie, I’m a huge fan of BOXING!!!

Very interesting observation.
She may not have the knockouts But, her fights are NOT Boring. She is very skilled and Continuously Challenges herself! Much Respect for her
You're sound like a male chauvanist. I agree with one thing you said though. She should get rid of her fiance. He doesn't seem like the right man. I'll pray for her. 🙏🏽
Never boring,
She don't sell tickets, they mostly buy up her tickets and give them away, that's why she never fights in Vegas, to be booked in Vegas you have to sell tickets
I disagree.
You are just making up lies, that’s sad.
Damn the hate is real 💀💀💀
Sounds like Ryan Garcia when he's not fighting tank o Haney
Yuck
She is a hater
Clarissa has a baaaad attitude, and she's negative. I'm not a fan of hers 👎🏽
opinions R like a-holes ( everyone has 1 )
Go watch soccer or cricket it’s more for the soft
This a aggressive sport even the girls more tough then you 😂
Stay Mad, she's winning
@@HarumiAida thanks for reminding us all.
@@moremore1865 winning is not everything. Character is!
I did this , I did that, i i i i i... Claressa is one of the easiest people to dis-like.
You aint never had power in your whole career😂😂😂😂powder fist😂😂😂
BS
NEVER LOSS 😂
Because she scared of AB
Yeah, right, AB lost to Mikaela. Tell her to run that back...
AB ran from her she refused to go up t fight when Ab can’t even sell 3k tickets 😂😂😂
& she make excuses
Ducking shields
It's easier to fight closer to your walk around weight. Tell AB to do that. I thought we didn't like weight draining fighters. Like I said, run it back with Mikaela she at 147 now. Get busy Big Dawg

Very Interesting observation.
Why you not talking bout her actual fight lol
Claressa is great but she is fighting a girl 7-1. She will most likely win.
Let me guess. She claims to be the best of all time. Blah blah blah me me me. Much like another fighter from Flint all talent no class.
