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 Claressa Shields vs Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse”

WBC Heavyweight Challenge

Over the past weekend we witnessed the self-proclaimed GWOAT Claressa Shield (15-0, 3 Kos) conquer yet another Division when she moved up to Heavyweight and challenged our own Canadian WBC Heavyweight Champion Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse (7-2-2, 2 Kos) at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

Listen I’m a supporter of our Canadian athletes that get down and represent us to the fullest but this particular Heavyweight Showdown was a mismatch from the jump. No disrespect to Vanessa who was game to the challenge but truth be told she had nothing to deter Claressa from having her way with her inside that squared circle.

Although Claressa was the one moving up in weight, she was the bigger and stronger boxer of the two and wasted no time asserting herself by pressing the action from the first bell dishing out heavy punches from all angles clearly taking Vanessa by surprise.

Vanessa looked shaky and by the second round Claressa went in for the kill by dropping Vanessa with a heavy counter right hand off the ropes for a quick 8 count. When Vanessa rose back up she got dropped again by another right hand and a second standing 8 count. With Vanessa now looking defeated Claressa hit her up with a barrage of unanswered shots dropping Vanessa for the third time and prompting the referee and Vanessa’s corner to stop the fight.

This is a very impressive version of Claressa where she continues to add to her historical career by adding the WBC Heavyweight Title and the vacant WBO Light Heavyweight Title, now crowning her a four Division Champion.

Congratulations Claressa on another dominating performance. Good luck to the challengers attempting to dethrone this version of the self-proclaimed GWOAT, she definitely walks it like she talks it, Hands Down!
