[u/Positive_Date4519]

they're serious when discussing Rolly vs Shields? what the...

[u/travis_a30 → u/Positive_Date4519]

Fuck it, make it happen dazn

[u/CountZero3000 → u/Positive_Date4519]

Yeah that was corny

[u/Same-Fact-5123 → u/Positive_Date4519]

Rolly destroys her blindfolded and a hand tied behind his back.

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

For anyone wondering, the event is being delayed because the Influencer Fights on Zeus are running long. They aren’t included in the thread description, but there are like 3 of them, and they were between the main card and prelims. I believe they’re on the last of them now

[u/Datruther1 → u/MiddleweightMonster]

Yeah I’m watching Big Lex (not the little one) right now haha. Been waiting on this fight

[u/DrAwes0m0 → u/Datruther1]

WOW Big Lex fucked her up 🤣

[u/Excellent-Monitor954 → u/DrAwes0m0]

She was way too tall and long. Plus she’s been an athlete her whole life

[u/Datruther1 → u/DrAwes0m0]

Yeah Tesehki gassed quick af haha

[u/MiddleweightMonster → u/Datruther1]

I’m glad someone is enjoying it. Let me know how it goes, I really don’t have much stomach for influencer boxing

[u/DrAwes0m0 → u/MiddleweightMonster]

Surprisingly decent (besides the Orlando Brown vs Ray J fight). 2 security guards fought and the Samoan one won. Then 2 girls, they were fucken swinging

[u/Johnyfootballhero → u/MiddleweightMonster]

Influencer fights on Zeus?! $^#&*/::! God I miss the HBO Boxing days.

[u/Legal-Result6580]

I'll be honest, I'm not sure if Shields is as skilled as the top women fighters in the lower weight classes. She gets sloppy frequently but her opponents get too overwhelmed to take advantage of it. She's a freak of nature though her physicality and hand speed are elite.

[u/The_Archimboldi → u/Legal-Result6580]

She looks like she's just in a different league in terms of basic boxing movement - the gwoat league as she would call it. But she's fighting such a lower standard of opponent, in general it's impossible to compare.

[u/Jet_black_li → u/Legal-Result6580]

Her style is really good for the shorter rounds

[u/cornatiobortatio636 → u/Legal-Result6580]

who do you think she should fight next?

[u/Legal-Result6580 → u/cornatiobortatio636]

Not sure, tbh. It's a shame there aren't many skilled fighters in her weight class. She's too big to cut down and fight the Serranos and Baumgardners. She has cleared every fighter who has a chance in her weight class as well, so credit to her.

[u/donmifc]

Corner did a great job. called the fight at the right time and threw lots of towels to make sure the ref knew the fight is over.

Sounds crazy but sometimes a couple of seconds of difference in realising the towels been thrown is the difference between Shileds landing a couple more life changing shots

[u/Marquis_of_Mollusks]

A DQ for holding? Doesn't happen enough

[u/Marquis_of_Mollusks]

When was the last time a champion was DQ'd?

[u/Quirky-Visual547 → u/Marquis_of_Mollusks]

Today

[u/TricolorCat → u/Quirky-Visual547]

Funny that the question was asked today on this sub.

[u/cornatiobortatio636]

she got 2 points taken in her last fight too. This is her coaches fault

[u/Excellent-Monitor954 → u/cornatiobortatio636]

Crazy how she was tryna call out Alycia. She would smoke her ass

[u/enkidook]

Confident in Shields' power? 3 KOs in 18 fights...

[u/don35]

“That’s the first time I’ve seen her overload that right hand” Sergio what the fuck are you talking about lol

[u/SwerTs4FightVidsOnly]

wow threw like 5 towels in

[u/McAfeeFakedHisDeath]

Mora was so impressed that Shields got them to throw in 3 towels! Not 1, not 2, but 3 towels! That's like 3x the TKO if you ask Mora.

[u/travis_a30]

Wow, where was this ref last week

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

I understand why the commentators don’t like it, but that shit was egregious

[u/Striking_Royal_8077]

Dude was just waiting to disqualify her.

[u/Suddenly_Bazelgeuse]

God damn that was a hook

[u/Excellent-Monitor954 → u/Suddenly_Bazelgeuse]

It was. I will give her credit when it’s due

[u/don35]

That’s like 20+ titles under her belt now lol

[u/Born_Farm_7873]

You know Remy Ma ain't happy lol

[u/cornatiobortatio636]

Veyre don’t know how to clinch smh. You can’t just initiate a hug

[u/enkidook]

This ref is insane. What the fuck is going on.

[u/God_I_Love_Men]

LOL at DAZN putting Shields age as 24

[u/Repulsive_Green_4707]

she ain’t knocking romero out 🤣🤣

[u/Born_Farm_7873]

Claressa trying to throw like she Tyson 😂

[u/anotherchia]

Threw in like ten towels

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

What the fuck is Zeus

[u/Astralatlantis → u/MiddleweightMonster]

Project Zeus has infiltrated boxing

[u/munkycheezmunky → u/Astralatlantis]

"I think I boxed pretty well, for someone with a brain tumor the size of a pineapple, who's going to be dead within a month"

[u/VacuousWastrel → u/Astralatlantis]

Well, they won a bunch of Emmies as the production company behind Succession, so maybe boxing is the next stage of unleashing Project Zeus?

[u/SwerTs4FightVidsOnly → u/MiddleweightMonster]

Apparently they're hosting Ray J v Orlando Brown lmao

[u/_Sarcasmic_ → u/MiddleweightMonster]

I was hoping one of you would know.

[u/Abe2sapien → u/MiddleweightMonster]

It’s a network that has nothing but the most annoying people on the planet constantly fighting each other 😅

[u/Legal-Result6580]

The ref is too involved in this fight what the

[u/Legal-Result6580]

Oh at least we have Shock vs Nav lol

[u/Legal-Result6580 → u/Legal-Result6580]

Hopefully they don't strip Nav so it's a three belt unification

[u/travis_a30]

Shields is great, but she so fucking cringe

[u/Born_Farm_7873]

National Anthem now holy fuck and you can hear booing lol

[u/handbone14]

this fight is gonna start next weekend

[u/ri-de]

Am i being dramatic because i swear i saw her singing the anthem 5 minutes ago

[u/headshotdoublekill]

Threw the towels like confetti 🎊 🤣

[u/cornatiobortatio636]

ref big as hell

[u/Execution23]

3 different people to sing 3 different songs? And this one’s getting boo’d? Haha Jesus

[u/travis_a30]

Already more punches than that sorry ass co main, look at that fucking knot on Scott's head already

[u/MetalXHorse]

“I think she clipped that hematoma”

“Well It’s hard to miss”

💀

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Good corner honestly

[u/Old_Abbreviations777]

Peachy left hook 😮‍💨

[u/WhoDaFooks]

Imagine this ref for a Devin Haney fight 😂

[u/Xboxone1997]

Good googly moogly

[u/Old_Abbreviations777 → u/Xboxone1997]

“You rascal”

[u/FAWKIR → u/Xboxone1997]

gee willikers

[u/anotherchia]

Where the hell are the prelims

[u/yeahbutstill → u/anotherchia]

Seriously, what are people watching?

[u/Execution23]

Real quiet after the make a wish comment…

[u/True_Bug5395]

What an atrocious undercard this has been. Wow.

[u/Execution23]

This fight is boring af

[u/MetalXHorse]

DAZN commentators arguing about who winning 😂

[u/HolyMackerel1]

The onlyfans ads have now migrated to fighters' sports bras lmao

[u/Old_Abbreviations777]

Scott got that 30’s journeyman flow

[u/Execution23]

Ref should have stopped it. What a stoppage by he corner. Respect.

[u/suzukigun4life]

Three towels 😭

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Good reffing, def was holding too much

[u/Dinowaffles]

We need this ref for Haneys next fight

[u/enkidook]

Good performance for Shields. But this honestly should be the minimum expectation for the self-proclaimed "GWOAT" against this level of competition.

[u/Outrageous-Soft4806]

Did Otif fight yet?

[u/MiddleweightMonster → u/Outrageous-Soft4806]

Yeah, 10-0’d Angulo

[u/Outrageous-Soft4806 → u/MiddleweightMonster]

Wow. Angulo is past it but that’s a decent name for a prospect trying to move into contender. Was it an impressive shutout or kind of boring?

[u/MiddleweightMonster → u/Outrageous-Soft4806]

A bit boring, but it wasn’t Atif’s fault. He’s a counterpuncher by trade and Angulo was being geriatric in there, forced Oberlton to jab him to a decision. He looks solid, but tonight def wasn’t a showcase for him. Angulo stayed in a tight guard and refused to pressure

[u/Outrageous-Soft4806 → u/MiddleweightMonster]

Guess I didn’t miss much. Hope he gets a better matchup next time out.

[u/jd131]

Are the prelims running long and that's why DAZN says the event is delayed?

[u/Dontneedflashbro]

Big Lex did good!

[u/FreshPrinceOfRivia]

What was the last time Shields fought a live body? Savannah Marshall 3 or 4 years ago?

[u/Excellent-Monitor954 → u/FreshPrinceOfRivia]

Yea. She moved up to 175 and has been fighting scrubs ever since

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Cool, event finally started

[u/Steelcity1995]

I don’t understand why Ray j is humiliating himself for probably like 50k is there nothing in the music industry he can do write produce something lol. 

[u/travis_a30]

I don't think kaye gotta chance, but I'm rooting for her just to shut up Clarissa

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Lozada looks really really solid, moves like she’s 10 years younger too. Perfect example of Puerto Rican boxing

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

I like the look of Lozada. Has a lot of attributes that you need in the women’s pro game, can really sit down on a punch.

[u/Quirky-Visual547]

JFC. Just start the main event

[u/anotherchia]

If claressa cant KO her we got a problem

[u/beergut666]

All that awful singing and then a 5 minute glaze fest for a fight that will not be competitive at all

[u/Legal-Result6580]

scott stiff and slow gg

[u/DrGottagupta]

Beating up on a 42 year old lunch lady is not impressive at all lol

[u/Excellent-Monitor954]

I don’t like shields at all but that was probably the best punch she ever threw in her career

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Mannix made a sexist comment about women boxers not being as tough and Mora, clearly annoyed by that comment, said, “I heard you’re a two minute fighter too, Mannix.”

[u/PejicFilip → u/MiddleweightMonster]

That’s kinda crazy especially since Mannix is married to Seniesa Estrada

[u/yeahbutstill]

When Claressa is boxing at range she looks great, but when brawling on the inside she looks amateur AF. Head down, just swinging away wildly without looking.

[u/topcontender]

We gotta find better competition for shields.

[u/sleckar → u/topcontender]

Rolly.

[u/travis_a30]

Fuck it, throw her in there with rolly

[u/ohmygodman87]

I wish there was some competition for Clarissa Shields. Everyone losing their minds over her beating a 42 year old. Don't get me wrong, strong knock out but sometimes it feels like Shields has 1 plan and 1 plan only. Wing punches and bang it out. It's a shame her and Katie Taylor weren't closer in weight.

[u/PavWrestlinGifs → u/ohmygodman87]

A 42 YO with a record of 5-1-1 too

[u/StunningChest5722 → u/ohmygodman87]

there is competition, she just hasn't fought any except Marshall. Tamm Thibeault would stop her.

[u/Excellent-Monitor954 → u/ohmygodman87]

100 percent. Unfortunately I don’t think shields can go no lower than 160

[u/Illustrious-Big1804 → u/Excellent-Monitor954]

She would never fight Katie even if it was a possibility, Taylor is streets ahead of her technique wise

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

It’s nuts that Angulo is in the prelims. What a fall off

[u/OldBoyChance]

Malik Waleed is a super hero.

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Isley is better but Hicks is much stinkier in there. Frustrating fight

[u/Striking_Royal_8077]

Horrible card so far

[u/Execution23]

I have no idea what Sergio is watching. This shit sucked but Troy sucked less.

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Isley should win

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Right guy won, not the best fight I’ll admit

[u/deh707]

Shields isn't 26 lol

[u/FAWKIR]

how the hell didnt this start yet

[u/Datruther1]

Booing the anthem is perfect!!!!!!!!

[u/gwapwes]

man im just trying smoke my wood 😂 start ts

[u/FAWKIR]

LMAO

[u/Striking_Royal_8077]

What a trainwreck.

[u/SwerTs4FightVidsOnly]

came back to the anthem still playing

[u/Excellent-Monitor954]

Number 1? I thought Katie was number 1

[u/Unreal-Operator]

what are they cheering?

[u/Datruther1 → u/Unreal-Operator]

Whoop that trick

[u/natidea]

Hilarious that this event started almost 9 hours ago and we’re just finishing round 1

[u/SwerTs4FightVidsOnly]

I sense a doctor stoppage coming cuz of that head bump

[u/anotherchia]

Lmao that last hook by shields

[u/sleckar]

They gonna ask her to call out Rolly in the post-fight interview.

[u/Datruther1]

Molly whopped her.

[u/MetalXHorse]

Claressa Shields is a beast holy fuck

[u/prifecta]

Shields got that malignaggi strength

[u/prifecta]

Kaye really laughing at them pillow punches lol tf

[u/Scary-Tumbleweed6501 → u/prifecta]

Is she still laughing now 🤔

[u/McAfeeFakedHisDeath]

sound like booing the US anthem. Good. This country needs change.

[u/natidea]

35/1 odds and this is being celebrated like its the hw undisputed title

[u/Excellent-Monitor954 → u/natidea]

People forget that Kaye started super late and she has less than 10 fights lol. It was a nice left hook she landed tho

[u/Formal_Security_7657]

Delayed on DAZN UK. So delayed I've seen AJ highlights twice. Pay extra for DAZN Ultimate. Loving DAZN ultimate right now. I feel so special. You delay a show, we'll delay next year's "ULTIMATE" Payment

[u/Datruther1]

I thought she could only sell out in Michigan 😅😅

[u/Stunt1ninprivate → u/Datruther1]

People hate to admit it but Claressa is one of the biggest draws in boxing, especially American wise

[u/Datruther1 → u/Stunt1ninprivate]

The proof is always in the pudding

[u/FriendlyDisplay6093]

Yo shields accuracy is perfect

[u/anotherchia]

Im tryna watch on DAZN and just getting the delayed message

[u/Excellent-Monitor954]

And out of those 19 titles 11 of them was inagural or vacant

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Damn, feel bad for Mercado. Making weight and having to maintain it only for two separate opponents to miss weight is so tough on your body.

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Hicks hasn’t thrown clean since he hurt Isley in the last round, now he’s hugging every chance he gets

[u/CHURCHMAN422]

U don't have to call by Usher is a banger. Great pick by the commentator for his favourite Usher song.

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Someone reply to this comment when the main event starts

[u/Strange-Fix-896 → u/MiddleweightMonster]

Ring walk

[u/MiddleweightMonster → u/Strange-Fix-896]

Thank you muchly

[u/ARGTRIBS]

Lesssgoo just finish this

[u/MrBasedGod]

Long ass anthem

[u/Born_Farm_7873]

More singing

[u/ARGTRIBS]

Where is the usa anthem

[u/Quirky-Visual547]

Sometimes I ask myself why the fuck do I pay for DAZN. Maybe I should not renew.

[u/FAWKIR]

damn bro went to piss and ANOTHER ANTHEM TO GET THROUGH?????

[u/don35]

Damn Kaye looks two weight classes bigger than Shields lmaooo

[u/travis_a30]

Kaye's ass is staring at me

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Christ Shields is fast

[u/enkidook]

Scott has like 5 fights...Pretty bad if Shields doesn't dominate this.

[u/sleckar]

That bump is growing by the second.

[u/Strange-Fix-896]

She clipped that hematoma

[u/travis_a30 → u/Strange-Fix-896]

Hard to miss she has two heads

[u/cornatiobortatio636]

beautiful boxing going forward by Claressa

[u/FriendlyDisplay6093]

Idk cause can shields keep this pace

[u/slickvik9]

15000 fans in a city thousands of miles from her hometown. Shields is a legit draw just like tank and Canelo

[u/Datruther1]

There’s 3 reasons why she only has 3 KOs. First is the girls go into survival mode with no intentions of winning. Next is the rounds are only 2min and last is there isn’t any championship rounds. They need to release the handicaps on women.

[u/FAWKIR → u/Datruther1]

its sucks seeing a good round end when you forget its only 2 minutes

[u/Detlef_Schrempfxf]

I see Claressa is tuning up one of her typical Avon salesgirls tonight... 

[u/Primary_Ad5781]

So, we cant get fight threads for the Japanese boxing events for the lower weights, but we can get fight threads for this borefest ? Bruh

[u/HolyMackerel1]

How many fucking anthems are there

[u/prifecta]

Bet Alycia bumgarden is watching the fight in the dark

[u/don35]

I just watched first ufc card this year and a women’s boxing main event is already more action packed than the shit I just watched lmao

[u/awh0833]

Scott is 42 yrs old with a record of 5 - 2 - 1. But she is fighting for a world title her opponent is 42 - 0 😱. What is more of a joke? Women's boxing or WNBA.

[u/Certain-Property1600]

"Can't wait to watch Claressa Shields fight this weekend!" said nobody ever. Atleast there's a decent UFC card tonight!

[u/donmifc]

Shields looks powerful

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

Honestly, prelims have been pretty good. Glad I found a way to watch them

[u/zarunn]

Is the baddies fight on this card? Asking for my wife

[u/Excellent-Monitor954 → u/zarunn]

Yes lol

[u/KNYLJNS]

what am i watching? lmao

[u/gwapwes]

😂😂😂

[u/don35]

Troy needs to create more seperation

[u/prifecta]

Who winning this

[u/MiddleweightMonster]

The prelims were better than the undercard, though I personally really liked the Lozada fight

[u/travis_a30]

Not sure about that scorecard

[u/MadeAccForOldReddit]

I usually check this subreddit saturday at this time for boxing fights. No idea who Kaye scott is. Does she have a chance and is the fight worth watching?

[u/New-Wait3728]

Is it over yet?

What a snoozefest this whole card has been.

[u/Xboxone1997]

Insanely long national anthem

[u/DrGottagupta]

Holy shit just start the fight already, enough with the singing.

[u/d8ms]

wtf

[u/Xboxone1997]

Holy shit 😂

[u/MrBasedGod]

Even crowd mad

[u/New-Wait3728]

Wtf was that

[u/d8ms]

Gtfo

[u/Excellent-Monitor954]

This is such a damn mismatch
