This long anticipated showdown is finally here;

Round 1. Good feel out round. Hammer more busy in the round and more aggressive.

Round 2 & 3.  Hammer aiming for the head and missing a lot. Shields picking her shots, landing bombs and using great head movement.

Round 4. Shields starting to real show her Elite skill, dominating the round.

Round 5. A better round for Hammer. She is starting to figure some things out, but Shields said she was going to win every round and she is.

Round 6. Turning point: Just when your thought Hammer could turn the page and flip the switch, Shields is like a Tiger refusing to let up. She refuses to lose against a determined Hammer.

Round 7. Hammer throwing everything but the kitchen sink and Shields still besting her.

Round 8. Shields dominating and destroying Hammer now. Lots of doubt in Hammers counter during the round. Hammer also done by the end of the round. This fight is no longer a fight.

Round 9. Bit of a slow round by this fights standards, Hammer looking to survive.

Round 10. Shields coasts to easy Unanimous Decision Win. Her dominance of the second best middleweight on the planet raises the question, no makes the statement that she is the P4P Queen of the Hurt Game.

Claressa Shields put on a boxing clinic of boxing, power punching, skill, movements and tiger aggression- WOW.

Congratulations Clarissa Shields and becoming the Middleweight Queen.
