On The Watch “It’s All About Claressa Shields vs Franchon Crews-Dezurn”

Undisputed Heavyweight Showdown

Last night’s Salita Promotion/Kings Promotion/DAZN Main Event was another showcase of an event for the self-proclaimed “GWOAT” IBF/WBA/WBC/WBF/WBO Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Claressa Shields (18-0, 3 Kos) who defended her crown against Unified WBA/WBC Super Middleweight Champion Franchon Crews-Dezurn (10-3, 2 Kos), in a rematch of their 2016 professional debut but this time they brought the house to their feet at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. Real Talk!

Franchon “The Heavy Hitting Diva” stayed true to her moniker and went it gunz blazing with them heavy hands trying to take Claressa’s head off right from the jump at the first bell but Claressa held her ground and fought fire with fire dishing out the same heat and not letting herself get bullied in the opening round.

Franchon set the pace early with her aggressive output but Claressa matched her energy at every corner and hit her up with the right combinations to let her know things wasn’t going to be this easy to take her out of her comfort zone.

Both combatants banged hard and stood toe-to-toe but as the rounds progressed you could see Franchon losing steam in her punches and her output and was taking in a lot more abuse from Claressa who was still sharp and active with her hands.

Claressa separated herself round by round and showed levels above Franchon as she boxed and banged all the way through the 10 official rounds. Things didn’t look all that pretty inside that squared circle but when it was all said and done, the Judges at hand saw it as a one-sided affair and scored it unanimously 100-90 on the panel.

Franchon was a “GAME” fighter from the jump but truth be told that pace she tried to keep up with was simply too much for her to deal with, having Claressa on the opposite side.

With this dominant performance by Claressa, she retained her IBF/WBA/WBC/WBF/WBO Undisputed Heavyweight Championship Tittles, and has her still looking for that challenge.

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.

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!
