154It makes sense for Shields, who has no high profile fight available in boxing, but what's the lower weight she has fought at recently?
Amanda can't fight a top level professional boxer in a boxing match she would get murdered. Did you see her standup against GDR 2? GDR was in another league in the striking department. Too bad GDR can't stop a takedown.MMA training consists of Boxing already so it makes sense to do a boxing match.
Shields is already training for MMA. Shields has to be one of the most unlucky athletes. She's clearly gifted but is just a little too big in boxing for an opponent that would give her good exposure (all the ladies with a high profile fight at around 130lbs).
I don't think she can even make 145. She intends to fight in MMA at 155.
In a boxing match she'd startch Nunes though.
Aren't they like 20 pounds apart?
In Boxing Claressa Shields would probably win, but it would be a closer fight than many would think.
I bet Shields walks around 200lbs thenI think Nunes said that when she was preparing for her fight with Cyborg she was walking around 170lbs
In MMA Amanda Nunes would destroy Claressa. In Boxing Claressa Shields would probably win, but it would be a closer fight than many would think.
I'm a huge Nunes supporter, but she isn't beating a heavier Olympic double gold medallist in a boxing match.
Once Spencer chokes Nunes out. The thread becomes moot.
I’m sick of all these boxer vs mma fighter threads. This is the UFC DISCUSSION, afterall. Get back to me when any currently high profile boxer steps in a cage in the UFC.
I bet Shields walks around 200lbs then
Would love to see Nunes body that loud mouth
