No surprises there is it. A male amateur boxer spars with a female professional world title champion about 2 stone heavier than himself ... and drops her heavily

I wish they would let this idiot Shields fight men. Seeing her stretchered out of the ring will hopefully stop any further nonsense from her and others about fighting men.

She claimed that she made him look poor in their sparring earlier in the week then for this session him and his coach had removed the padding from his gloves.

I think she mentioned it a while ago but didn't name him but just now he released the footage.

At a very minimum it's pretty pathetic from him, what's he trying to gain from leaking sparring footage and seemingly boasting about dropping a woman? Then it comes down to whether he did or did not remove the padding. If he did then he is scum, if he did not then Shield's is being bitter over it.

Agreed. She's full of herself and was always saying she's better than multiple established male fighters she was saying she could beat GGG :lol: : I remember her saying she could beat Rocky Fielding after he lost to Canelo. Yet here she is getting KO'd by a novice with two KOs on his record. Hope she does get the fights with males she wants.

Edit: the coach of the boxer in the video responsed. Sounds like she's talking rubbish to make herself look better.

I'd much rather we go on letting Claressa Shields think she can kick a Male fighter's ass than get her killed just to prove her wrong. For the record.

I think most Sports fans with sense understand the limitations of a Female vs a Male in a Combat sport. I don't think we need to see it proven to us.

Lucia Rijker already showed us how it goes anyway.

Us.

Younger generation either hasn't seen it or thinks the result would be different now.

I say give her a chance to back up her mouth.
