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.

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.
