On Sunday night at the Dort Financial Center in Flint, Michigan, a double Olympic Gold Medal Claress ‘T-Rex’ at the main event, was won by Danielle Perkins, who now has 5-1, with a tenth runda after nine annoying circles. The victory was given by the Shieldsu IBF, WBO, WBA, WBC and WBF World Heavyweinga Titles.
They both weighed below 175 pounds, and maybe in female boxing, it is heavy, even though it is in male boxing, it is a light heavyweight category.
Shields has come across serious criticism for defending his title against someone with only five fights. Sometimes she seemed to hesitant from the great size of her opponent to involve her in the battle to later rounds.
As a writer, in April 2019, I covered the fight of Shields against Kazakhstan Christine Hammer, then 24-0, outside Germany, who was the WBC and WBO champion of the middle category. Whenever Hammer went on the attack, US judge Sparkle Lee would mix, stopping her attack. Although the results were 99-91 twice and 98-92, it was my opinion that the hammer was treated unfairly.
In a hammer locker room, I wanted to tell her how cheated she was, but Tom Loeffler’s promoter stood there, telling me not to mention it. Once he left the room, I told her that in my opinion there was still a champion. The woman who was sitting there, for which I have no idea who she is, cried for loss.
Hammer lost very hard, just fighting with four winning times since then. In her second match, she won the empty Wibf Super Middle Title in Germany, as well as all her other matches. After the last victory in May 2022, she retired with a record of 28-1 and 13 knockouts.
Shields has since won seven matches, with his previous struggle over an opponent with a record 7-1.
Referring to some other boxers, there were a few people, such as IBO and Wibf Super Lucia ‘The Nitlovcd Destroyer’ Rijker, 17-0 with 14 stopping of the Netherlands. The second is IBA and Wiba’s lightweight heavyweight champion Ann ‘Brown Sugar’ Wolfe, 24-1 with 16 stops from Waco in Texas, one stubborn woman.
The other famous daughters of the former World Champion in the heavyweight category of Muhammad’s ‘Biggest’ Ali, WBC and Wiba Super Middle Category Champion of Laila ‘She Bee Stingin’ Ali, 24-0 with 21 stops, who withdrew when she got pregnant.
One of her opponents was the daughter of a former heavyweight champion ‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier, ‘Sister Smoke’ Jacqui Frazier Lyde, 13-1 with nine stops, GBU Super Middleweight and Uba heavyweight champion. The second was WBC Super Welterweight Champion Christy ‘Coalminer’s daughter’ Martin, 49-7-3 with 32 stops, a female box pioneer.
Double Olympic, 2012 Gold Medal WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF and IBO Super Lake champion Katie Taylor, 24-1 with 6 stops, from Ireland.
Wibf Super Flykete Champion Germany Regina Halmich, 54-1-1 with 16 stops, had a lot of weak opposition with 40 defense of the title.
