Shields is widely considered to be the greatest women’s boxer on the planet, holding a pro-boxing record of 11-0. However, only two of her 11 wins have come by means of knockout.
Claressa Shields has attributed the cause of the same to the fact that women’s boxing only goes up to 10-rounds instead of 12. She also cited two minute rounds as a contributing factor.
