Claressa Shields bamboozled her opponent Ema Kozin with ease to defend her unified middleweight straps via unanimous decision. She is now 12-0 as a world champion boxer, a similar charm that Floyd Mayweather has relished throughout his career. Interestingly, ‘TBE’ Mayweather had advised Shields on her boxing drills pre-fight.
Those bits of advice seem to have benefited ‘The GWOAT’, who is back to boxing and is still the best in her division. Following the win, Shields face-timed Floyd Mayweather, and the two talked about several things and took jabs at several people.
As Claressa Shields was expressing her opinion on how she schooled Kozin in the ring, Mayweather took a cheeky shot at his former nemesis, Canelo Alvarez, whom he beat lopsidedly in 2013.

Shields said, “90 or 100. She should have got stopped. It was round five, six, or seven. It was bad. I was feeling like I was you out there. I was beating the s*** out of her.”
Floyd Mayweather replied, “It was like me against Canelo [Alvarez]?”
The ‘T-Rex’, Claressa Shields, completely agreed to it and claimed that she beat “the kid” out of Ema Kozin. Although it’s hard to believe whether the fight actually looked similar to what we saw in Mayweather vs Alvarez. ‘Money’ Mayweather didn’t miss out on lashing out at the current P4P king.

On excluding the Mayweather loss from Alvarez’s resume, the P4P king shall have a flawless run. However, Mayweather had battered him completely in their scrap, and that dent can never be taken away further. While Alvarez has demanded a rematch several times, it’s evident how that one defeat continues to overshadow his achievements.
