š„ CLARESSA SHIELDS DROPS 38 POUNDS, DROPS KAYE SCOTT AND LEAVES ATLANTA WITH MORE BELTS!
Updated: Aug 17

šAtlanta, Ga. Now CLARESSA.
MA'AM.
While everybody was busy watching the Zeus foolishness, arguing about Big Lex and Tesehki, and trying to figure out what the hell Ray J and Orlando Brown were doing...Don't worry we covered that story too...
CLARESSA SHIELDS CAME TO ATLANTA TO ACTUALLY BOX.Ā šš„
And baby, she handled her BUSINESS.
Claressa Shields defeated Kaye Scott by sixth-round TKO Saturday night at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, capturing the WBA and WBC middleweight titlesĀ and improving her undefeated professional record to 19-0.
But WAIT.
Because there's a whole other story behind this victory.
š³ THIS WOMAN DROPPED 38 POUNDS?!
Shields had been competing at heavyweight and came all the way back down to the 160-pound middleweight divisionĀ for this fight.
According to post-fight reporting, Claressa lost approximately 38 pounds in just 14 weeksĀ to make the move.
THIRTY.
EIGHT.
POUNDS.
Baby, I can't lose the same eight pounds I've been negotiating with since Easter.
Claressa said:
āMOVE. WE GOT A FIGHT.ā
šš
And after doing all THAT just to get to the scale, she still had six rounds of boxing waiting on her.
š„ THEN CAME ROUND SIX...
Shields controlled much of the fight before catching Scott with a powerful left hook in the sixth round.
Scott was hurt.
Claressa saw it.
And baby...
THE GWOAT CLOCKED IN FOR OVERTIME.
Shields poured on the punches until Scott's corner had seen enough and threw in the towel, bringing the fight to an end by TKO.
Now let's discuss the TIMING of all this.
Because while Claressa was preparing to fight Kaye Scott...
REMY MA DROPPED āWANNA GO.ā
ššš
Ma'am.
So Claressa had Kaye Scott in front of her...
Remy Ma somewhere in the studio...
And social media sitting in the middle yelling:
āFIGHT EVERYBODY!ā
ššš
And let's not forget Remy's new record came amid their ongoing public beef involving Papoose, with Remy throwing bars widely interpreted as shots at Claressa.
So Claressa basically had TWO opponents this weekend.
One had boxing gloves.
The other had a microphone.
š¤š„
But Saturday night, Claressa apparently decided:
ONE WOMAN AT A TIME, PLEASE.
š
Because whatever anybody thinks about the Remy/Papoose/Claressa soap opera, once that bell rang, Shields reminded everybody that underneath all the celebrity headlines and internet beef...
THIS WOMAN CAN FIGHT.
We're talking about a two-time Olympic gold medalist, an undefeated professional boxer and a woman who has won world championships across multiple weight divisions.
And now she's 19-0.
So you can call her whatever you want on social media.
Just don't call her into a boxing ring unless your insurance is paid up.
šš„
š AND CLARESSA ALREADY WANTS SOMEBODY ELSE
After beating Scott, Shields turned her attention toward another possible opponent: undefeated British champion Lauren Price.
CLARESSA!!!
Can you enjoy the belt for 17 MINUTES?!
ššš
Most people win a championship and start planning a vacation.
Claressa wins:
āWHO ELSE GOT GLOVES?ā
š„š
But whether you love her, dislike her, follow the Remy Ma drama or couldn't care less who Papoose is dating...
Saturday night belonged to Claressa Shields.
She dropped approximately 38 pounds.
Moved back to middleweight.
Stopped Kaye Scott in six.
Picked up two championship belts.
Stayed undefeated at 19-0.
And THEN started looking for her next opponent.
REMY DROPPED A DISS TRACK.
CLARESSA DROPPED SOMEBODY'S CORNER TOWEL.
šššš„š„
CONGRATULATIONS TO CLARESSA SHIELDS.
Mess is mess...
BUT A WIN IS A WIN.Ā š
