Comments Thread For: Promoter: Alycia Baumgardner Never Really Wanted to Fight Claressa Shields

[BoxingUpdates]

Saturday's confrontation between Alycia Baumgardner and Claressa Shields is just the latest in their ongoing rivalry. So why won't the two undisputed champions settle it in the ring? It's a weighty problem.

Obviously, she didn't actually want to fight.

Notice, she was all buddy-buddy with Shields until she popped dirty and then all of a sudden out of the blue she starts popping all this nonsense at the Claressa.

She's obviously trying to distract from her positive drug test & maybe cover for the fact that she can't make 130lbs without her bodybuilding stack & has to justify a huge weight jump.

I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't fight at 130lbs again.

I hate this because I was a big fan of hers and believe that she has a lot of potential to make women's boxing bigger, but she's moving real funny-style now.

If they ever fought, the lead-up would be a non-stop pure attitude b1tch fest if there ever was one. Kind of like the ones you see on Reelz On-Patrol Live on Fridays and Saturday nights each week.

Alycia needs to steer clear of Cleressa, lol

Clarissa is growing, the time is now lol! 30 lb difference is ridiculous

Unrealistic fight, sheilds too big plus the far better boxer.

This all seemed to kick off when the video of shields getting dropped came out and she made those ridiculous claims of that coach removing the padding. Wonder if this is what kicked off the fued.

30 lbs is too much to bridge with those PEDs she's on.

[brettWall]

Difference is weight is too much. Baumgardner just doesn't like her.

[Hazy_Daisy]

Clarissa Shields is too big and strong for her anyway.
