After the match, Shields was excited about winning, but she found out she would actually need her shoulder surgery after suffering her injury before the fight. She noticed that she could not raise her left hand earlier in the week.
“I actually think I will have to have surgery on my left hand. Last week I torn off my labrum, so the quarrel almost didn’t happen,” Shields said, via ESPN. “I didn’t want to let the flint, but I really couldn’t use my stitch the way I wanted, but I did the best I could. I went out, I made therapy, and now I think I go to shoulder surgery.”

Shields gave Kudos to Perkins after the game, saying that she was “strong as hell” with his shots in the ring. However, Shields was patient and hit the last second when Perkins’ guard fell.
“My experience and my skills have overcome me and also, I was in a lot of street fights with bigger people and I had to use some of my skills in it today. So when I lowered her in the last round, that’s because she became greedy, “Shields said of her opponent.
Shields landed 29% of its blows on Perkins, as well as 36% of power blows. Perkins landed only 19% of blows.
