Re: Claressa Shields MMA debut
Elkin got winded by round 3 and she didn't have the power Claressa has. Those punches Claressa was throwing I am sure Elkin had never seen anything like it. She was as quick in take downs as standing she would have been knocked out clean. I give Claressa credit, she is trying a new sport and learning. I can guarantee had Elkin desired to try boxing and step in with Claressa she wouldn't last 10 seconds. But then Elkin wouldn't be fighting top tier boxers and that's the point, Claressa shouldn't be starting with top tier MMA fighters. So give her credit for crossing over and remember boxing and MMA are sports, street fights are totally different too!
