Much respect to her I honestly thought she was done with mma. She has a lot of work to do still. She needs to take some bjj classes for sure and work her way up we already know she got hands so her wrestling and bjj needs to be more of a focus
Claressa should get in the gym and start learning to get off her back. Literally have a wrestling coach start her on bottom and teach her how to get her hips and legs moving properly to get back to her feet. She’s got so much talent it would be great to see her ground game improve. 🐐
@@anthonytaylor7928 In MY opinion she's GOOD boxer ....because as many fights she's had she only has 2 knockouts..and the women she's beat has more knockouts than Claressa
@@spicyhot2552 so let me get this straight? After all of the accomplishments shes had and let's not forget she's she did all this in her teens and in her 20s .and also u say the fighters shes beaten has more knockouts than she does.

@@anthonytaylor7928 Well I'm entitled to my opinon ...I think Claressa is a danm good fighter ...but some of the women she's fought..she should've been able to knock them out or at least a technical knockout..Claressa herself has spoken about her frustrations on not being able to knock out some of her opponents...Laila Ali spoke about it years ago as well
Proud of you Claressa. You’ve come a long way in a short time. No other boxers are doing what you’re doing and succeeding. Keep up the great work. Onwards & Upwards! 🙏
No chance possible for The GWOAT to face you in MMA this early in her career, champ. You'd murder her right now. You're the first and only Grand Slam MMA Champ. Because of the fact that boxing is part of MMA's DNA and you've been feared first as a powerful MMA striker, the only chance you'd have of getting a bag from The GWOAT is in a boxing match at 154 or 147...and that's only if there's a big bag and substantial title belt on the line. In boxing, Claressa enjoys a massive experience advantage over you, but not as humongous an advantage as you have over her in MMA. I think you know even better than I do that what I posted to you above is true.
Clarissa has come a long way and as she pointed out making the transition from boxing to MMA is hard. Most can't do it. So salute to her for being courageous and training hard. The only thing she really needs to work on is her ground game. She needs some lessons in wrestling or jiut jitsu. Her stand up is mostly boxing and it's solid, sort of like a Justin Porier. Can't wait to see her have more success. Keep practicing and pushing forward.
Obviously her clinching and ground game are aweful in comparison to most mma fighters but fair play for doing this, she has no challenges left at her weight in boxing. Credit to her for putting herself out there.
It takes a long time to have a complete skill set for mma. Even though she’s an elite athlete from another combat sport. It’s gonna take 3-4 more years before she can compete with the best. There’s a reason the average ufc champion is over 30. I wish the best for her though ☺️
Clarissa is going to be a voice to reckon with once she gets her ground game together, she looks strong so body slamming and mounting and going to work on the ground will elevate her to the next level, she cannot depend solely on her boxing skills in this sport, but good job👍 Clarissa, keep working
Ol girl been tagging Shields to her Instagram story since she lost..trying to say she won this fight..she wouldn't even fight back all she was 3 take downs and a armbar..she was to scared to punch back 😂
If she’s gonna do mma, she needs to train it year round, not just before n during camps like she’s been doing. She’s already behind the curve w her wrestling, kicking, grappling, and muay tai.
This goes to show you don’t have to know how to fight to win let the other person get worn out by punching and when they are tired wrestle with me down and hold them down and they will be too tired enough to flip you over them that’s when you punch ! Thank you for giving me fighting tips !
Since everyone is giving their expert opinion and as a 16 y/o with 22 years of martial arts experience, I’d say she should just spend a year in Thailand OR just go learn how to wrestle and learn take downs instead of BJJ. Too hard for her. She just needs to take people down and get into ground and pound position.
You can't kick anyone in the face in any MMA fight/promotion... otherwise you would people getting their head punt kicked to the crowd causing serious injuries This has always been a rule...
Those big body shots from Shields paid off.. if she gets her floor game right, she's going to be unstoppable. Great win for a beginner 🎉 Keep striving 🎉
Claressa is my love but she’s not yet ready for this. She needs more work getting back on her feet and her leg game. Imagine this was Amanda Nunez or V. Shevchenko
She could easily retire as the greatest female boxer of all time, but instead, she chose to put it on the line, doing something completely foreign to her. This woman is an amazing person🎉🎉.
I just looked up Desantis' she's 35 with a record of 1-3. I was actually looking forward to Shields being tested by a solid fighter but Desantis is a tomato can set up to take a loss and improve Shields record. Desantis was already exhausted by round 2 and despite being terrible with takedowns was still able to take Shields down and get mount multiple times. Shields better step it up if she's going to be a serious MMA fighter, the competition can't get much easier that Desantis. That said, I hope Shields does improve as I think her style will be fun to watch and she seems like a great person.
You have not been respectful thinking you better than Tyson just in boxing alone 🙅🏾♂️ I’m no fan of shields she’s toooooo cocky to not have a knockout
Agreed. I don't think it's wise to do both concurrently. There's just too many ways to get injured that could potentially tank her boxing career and there goes her money maker.
@fortunateson2 Agreed indeed. From my perspective, Clarissa got into MMA for money AND because Amanda Nunes was said to be the pound for pound hardest puncher and the GOAT of women pro fighters. I'm sure that incensed Clarissa to take a chance and get into MMA. Unfortunately, the MMA seems like a part time job. I feel like she's not really training hard enough in the core principles (wrestling, kickboxing, BJJ, etc). Also, her opponents seem uncharacteristically tame. Seeing their other fights before they go up against Clarissa seem like I'm watching a totally different fighter. Is she "can crushing"? Maybe. IDK.
😂 good fight sis i don't know why they putting white folks in the ring with black folks the energy just be different 😂 they need to stop doing that 😂 or better yet do more of it.
The fight ended with her on her back helplessly taking shots to the face... Stop simping. She barely pulled off a split decision, and while she did better with striking, she was outclassed by a tin-can in every other way.
Claressa Shields clearly lost round 1 and round 3, she got dropped both times and beaten, the decision went to Claressa because the judges felt bad for her and because she is famous. We all know that Claressa lost that fight, the judges made a bad decision. It's so unfair for Kelsey.
@@howardroark3670 And the fight ended with her on her back helplessly taking shots to the face.. The only reason her arm was not broken is because her opponent lacked the killer spirit. Nobody "deserved the win" in this fight.
Shields won because de santis didnt do much with her position. And more so she was gassed after the 1st round. Shields got away. And its funny she thought she could take on amanda nunez.
Much respect to her I honestly thought she was done with mma. She has a lot of work to do still. She needs to take some bjj classes for sure and work her way up we already know she got hands so her wrestling and bjj needs to be more of a focus

Much improvement by Clarissa on grappling. More work is needed on how to switch top position ❤

Shields always use most of her stamina on the first round.

You a hater
Clarissa loose ????😮😮😮😮
Why is Kelsey fighting like she's in the WWE??
Clarissa is amazing 🤯👍😆😆
0:18 My man is a great announcer, not a great pronouncer 😢
De santis didn't want to break Shield's arm in the first round, she had her good, didn't want to crank.
Yeah, that's exactly what I saw. If this was 2013 and she was in the cage with Rousey, that arm would have been dangling. For sure.
@@iluvmyboba yeah, in that position and against an inexperienced grappler, she just didn't want to fuck up the hight profile fighter
@@77sebasan De Santis showed mercy, indeed. She truly didn't want to hinder her boxing career.
I wouldn't be surprised if her MMA company told her to go easy on Clarissa Shields.
@@tichtran664 Neither would I. But, the way Shields was cracking her in the face and body, I doubt if she got the same message.

So this joke is what people are saying is the best boxing woman? 🤣 Anne Wolf would have destroyed her..Ali as well..that's why she ran from her
De Santis very tough, no skills .
Clarissa Sheila's is a BORING
