Claressa Shields who went 10 rounds with Professional Boxing Novice Danielle Perkins who despite being 42 years of age and only 5 professional fights won rounds on 2 of the 3 judges scorecards against the self proclaimed “GWOAT”
Later rumors of a possible “marijuana” violation started to circulate as PED expert Vitor Conte of SNAC supplements and a former BALCO Laboratory founder posted that the commission had done a mouth swab test post fight which revealed traces of Marjiuana which is currently regulated as performance enhancing in Michigan. So far there has been no official announcement from the commission in Michigan although Claressa Shield’s ‘Box Rec’ signifies indefinitely suspended. MMA fans will remember the NSAC suspended Nick Diaz 5 years for Marijuana.
Cyborg who has called for an MMA and a Boxing fight against Claressa Shields had this to say when asked about the situations, “I think it’s important not to rush judgement until you know all of the facts. I know Claressa seems to have a lot of distractions in her life and this seems like it could be another one. I’m hoping she has some good people around her guiding her through the process.” Do you think we will see a long awaited fight between Cyborg and Claressa one day?
