Claressa Shields kept her undisputed heavyweight title intact on Saturday night, securing a dominant victory over Lani Daniels in Detroit, Michigan.
While the scrap started slowly, with Daniels dancing around and avoiding any contact with Shields in the first two rounds, the New Zealander finally started to walk forward in the third. Daniels looked to close the distance and pin Shields against the ropes, but even when she was successful in doing so, Shields dominated the dirty boxing exchanges.
Shields started to take over in the fifth and sixth rounds, ripping to Daniels’ body and landing some solid power shots up top.
