Claressa Shields shows off power in punching machine
Claressa Shields might have transitioned to MMA but she has not lost any of her skills in boxing. The legendary boxer stuns the crowd as she aces the power-punching machine.
Claressa Shields was recently at the promotional event for what is described as the greatest women’s boxing match, between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor. At the event, Shields was asked to showcase her punching skills and the ‘GWOAT’ did not hesitate one bit to put on the boxing glove pack a powerful punch.
Shields transitioned to MMA last year and has gone 1-1 as a mixed martial arts fighter. The multi-division boxing champion put on the boxing glove and rocked a score of 998 on the punching ṁachine as she gets high-fived by the hosts of the event. Claressa was very close to beating the high score of the machine as she missed it by only two points.
Before moving to MMA, Claressa excelled at everything she did in the boxing world. Shields is not called the GWOAT for no reason. She has held world championship titles in three different divisions and has been the undisputed light middleweight, undisputed middleweight, and the WBC and IBF super-middleweight champion.
