Claressa Shields never fails. The American is an almost perfect machine and in 12 fights as a professional she has always managed to win. The last triumph was added this Saturday in Cardiff. Ema Kozin resisted ten rounds, her greatest merit, and that is that the American crushed her from the first second. The lawsuit went to points, Shields won by a clear unanimous decision (triple 100-90) and that served him to fulfill the planned plan. He retained the WBC, WBA and IBF Middleweight World Championships., was introduced to the British public and challenged Savannah Marshall. The Englishwoman is the only opponent who has managed to defeat ‘T-Rex’ (in her amateur stage) and that was the morbidity of this fight.
Marshall saw the fight in the front row and when the cameras focused on her, she fell asleep. Little could be blamed on the champion and in this way the local tried to warm up the atmosphere. Once the fight was over, they gathered at the ringsite. First they bumped fists, then they exchanged words… and ended up challenging each other face to face. nothing unexpected. The mind of both is in June, but before Savannah must comply. Exposes the WBO World Cup on March 12. If he wins there will be revenge. With more or less spectacle, Shields complied and now it’s her turn.
In the purely sporting Shields was a whirlwind again. Kozin came out brave, trying to get work done, but the American took the center of the ring and counterattacked. She is fast and smart, she couldn’t ask for more. She little by little she was getting clear hands and from the third round her superiority was clear. Claressa is diesel and in the middle of the fight she saw herself. Her hands entered in longer bursts (she chained 19 consecutive blows). He was far superior and Kozin dedicated himself to taking the punishment. Very superior. He only lacked the KO for a night of 10, he had options, but the punch is not one of his hallmarks. The race to be the GWOAT is very hard, and more so with the Taylor vs. Serrano on April 30, but Shields does not lower the piston. We are facing an unrepeatable fighter.
