Claressa Shields vs Danielle Perkins PPV is on right now 2/2/25

Boxing is her third job, Daniels career is probably being a Walmart greeter.

They said shes a mental health counselor or some shit......

Shes also a damn freestyle long distance runner.... shit was ridiculous

She didnt start trying to box until the 6th round..... da fuck

There's a 30 pound weight difference.
Now, I will say, I didnt think their weight difference was THAT big, however after looking at their history I found that:

Claressa has fought from 154 to 177

KT has fought from 130 to 140......

For the bag, make it a catchweight fight, say 147 - 150

Claressa already has to drop from 175 to the 150s - 160s range for her next fight, (probably for most fights moving forward.) Just to find some decent competition.

Katie is the p4p #1 ranked women's fighter

Claressa is the #2.......

KT is 39, Claressa is 30 and planning to have kids soon.

Lets not miss this window/ opportunity.

Yeah there is the chance of a Laila Ali fight, but Ali is 47 right now and hasn’t fought in like 15 years..... does she really get any "stripes" or "points" on her record if Claressa beats on Laila?

Also Laila last fought at 159..... what's her "walk around" weight? Is she still in decent shape? 15 years from the ring, will she want a "tune up" fight? Does she need a 8 - 12+ week camp vs the normal 6 week one?

I hear ya, Claressa definitely shouldn't be fighting or trying to fight Laila. The woman's almost 50 and been retired for damn near 20 years. That's just pointless.

And I'd like to see Katie and Claressa fight, it's just the weight. Yeah they could probably make it a catch weight if they really wanted to. But I don't think that Katie really wants to.

I hear you but, Katie was up 2-0 against Amanda. What was her real motivation for the "trilogy?" Ot wasnt a traditional "rubberband match."...... it was the $$$$.


And if the bag is big enough, I think KT would do it. She's approaching 40 and there aren't a lot of big money matches left as she heads towards retirement.......

Money was definitely the motivation to fight Amanda, that and to shit the people up that thought that she lost one of the fights.

You're fight there's not many big fights for Katie to fight, and I hope that they make it happen.
 
KT got $3 mill guaranteed and 60% of the ppv money for that last Amanda fight, estimates have it between $7 and $9.5 million.......


Claressa was ready to put up $15 for Laila. KT would take $10 mil GLADLY.
