This was a very personal reason from Shields and certainly showed her resentment towards Alvarez. However, another fan posted a video of the female middleweight champion working out in the same way as ‘Saul’. Moreover, he even called out Shields for copying his boxing style. Despite this, Shields did not muster from her stance.
