My experience and my skills allowed me to get back and also, I have been in many street fights with larger people and I had to use some of my skills today too. So when I dropped it on the last round, it is because it has become greedy. “”
Shields scored the only Knockdown of the fight in the decreasing seconds of the 10th round, but she also fogled Perkins during the third round with a right right while connecting to hooks on the right as well.

During her entry to the ring, she was joined by the rapper Papose, and his compatriot undisputed champion Terence Crawford was one of the people present.

“I think it was a big fight. Perkins came to fight, she fought well. She was tall, she was strong. Claressed had speed, timing and experience,” Crawford told Espn . “And sometimes, when she had to widen deeply and make a fight for dogs, I felt like I also won this transaction. The entire participation rate was a good night.”

I fight for a million dollars. So. I am supposed to be paid for five. This is not it. So, for me, that’s where the fire comes.”
