On The Watch “It’s All About Claressa Shields vs Lani Daniels”

Undisputed Heavyweight Showdown

Last night’s Salita Promotions/DAZN Main Event was another showcase type of an event for the self-proclaimed “GWOAT” IBF/WBA/WBC/WBF/WBO Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Claressa Shields (17-0, 3 Kos) who defended her crown against IBF Light Heavyweight Champion Lani Daniels (11-3-2, 1 Ko) at the packed house at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

First off there are levels to this boxing sh*t and when all them ladies were stepping up to Claressa on the build-up to the fight, they got a lot of talk but very little action as they stepped foot inside that squared circle opposite of the “GWOAT”. Real Talk!

Lani used a lot of movement in the first few rounds as Claressa pressed the action in an aggressive fashion looking for that work. It was quite evident from the jump that Lani did not possess the required skill set to offset Claressa from having her way with her.

Lani couldn’t match the output of punches coming her way round by round but one thing she did show was durability by the way she was taking them punches coming in from all angles and remained standing. It was a dominant performance by Claressa who looked focused at the job at hand. She wanted to put on a show for her home crowd by looking to stop Lani but this girl was tough and did whatever it took not to get stopped.

  That being said, Claressa was on point from all angles. Her speed, accuracy, punch output and her boxing IQ were all on full display last night. After 10 rounds of one-sided action, the Judges at hand scored it 100-90, 99-91 and 99-91 unanimously for Claressa Shields.

With this win, Claressa retained her IBF/WBA/WBC/WBF/WBO Undisputed Heavyweight Championship Titles with very little competition ahead to look forward too.

Claressa is simply too good for any of the three Undisputed Divisions she conquered. The “GWOAT” is definitely here to stay. Hands Down!

Good luck to the future competition.

On The Watch “It’s All About Claressa Shields vs Danielle Perkins”

Undisputed Heavyweight Champion

Last night’s Salita Promotions/DAZN Main Event the self-proclaimed “GWOAT” WBC Heavyweight Champion Claressa “T-Rex” Shields (16-0, 3 Kos) continued to add to her historical career by becoming the first female Undisputed Heavyweight Champion in history when she defeated challenger Danielle Perkins (5-1, 2 Kos) in front of her home crowd at the Dort Financial Center in Flint, Michigan.

At first glance Danielle possessed all the physical attributes such as size, reach, height and power to give Claressa all types of problems inside that squared circle but the one key component she lacked to derail the Champ was the right boxing IQ to use her attributes to her advantage.

Claressa showed absolutely no fear when she entered that ring. At the first bell Claressa proceeded to give Danielle a paid schooling session of the upmost level round by round. Claressa, visibly the smaller combatant of the two, pressed the action and backed Daniella into retreat mode and showed power with every punch thrown.

Danielle attempted to use her size to bully Claressa at times, but Claressa was in her bag last night looking physically stronger in the Heavyweight Division. Her power looked legit as she dropped Danielle with a perfectly placed hard right hand to the chin for a standing 8 count with only 10 seconds left in the 10th round.

Simply put, Danielle got dominated from start to finish. After 10 rounds of one-sided action the Judges at hand scored it 100-89, 99-91 and 97-92 all in favor of Claressa Shields.

With this win, Claressa retained her WBC Heavyweight Title and picked up the vacant WBA, IBF and WBO Heavyweight Belts crowning her a Three-Division Undisputed Champion and the only boxer, male or female to ever accomplish this achievement.

Well done, Claressa. The “GWOAT” is here to stay. Good luck to the competition.

On The Watch “It’s All About Alycia Baumgardner vs Christina Linardatou”

Undisputed Super Featherweight Challenge

Last night’s Matchroom/DAZN Main Event between Undisputed Super Featherweight Champion Alycia Baumgardner (15-1, 7 Kos) and challenger Christina Linardatou (14-3, 6 Kos), was the type of an event that was perfectly set for Alycia’s homecoming at the Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan.

Alycia had her fans in attendance cheering her name from start to finish and she did not disappoint them. Although Christina did put up a good fight and definitely had some moments throughout the bout, it was Alycia who controlled the rounds and prevented Christina’s pressure style of fighting from ever deterring Alycia from her “game plan” at hand.

Alycia showed patience round by round and boxed beautifully, administering some vicious blows visibly stunting Christina as the rounds progressed. Alycia looked strong and focussed and always in control of her emotions.

Alycia definitely showed growth and maturity from her last encounter with Christina who gave her the first loss of her professional career back in 2018. This version of Alycia was the Undisputed Super Featherweight Champion of the World and possessed the higher ring IQ of the night.

Alycia desperately needed and wanted that revenge bout to be dealt with and deal with it she did in a very convincing manner. Alycia dominated Christina who was very active with her hands but this time lacked the power to deter the Champ from having her way.

That being said, after 10 rounds of action the Judges at hand scored it 99-91, 98-92 and 98-92 all in favour of Alycia Baumgardner.

With this convincing win, Alycia retained her Undisputed Super Featherweight status and can now set her eyes on bigger challenges ahead in the likes of Undisputed Lightweight Champion Katie Taylor, Undisputed Junior Welterweight Champion Chantelle Cameron or even Undisputed Featherweight Champion Amanda Serrano.

Alycia is clearly seeking the biggest fights available regardless of the Champion. I can’t wait to see who will sign up for the challenge.

Until then, congratulations on your latest win Alycia.
