Claressa Shields vs Tori Nelson Fight Preview

Strengths

A huge athlete, Shields has the ability to come up with quick combinations. She is also pretty aggressive and will be difficult to shake off when on rhythm. Nelson’s jabs have to be the strong point. Even though her knockout record is rather low, it is not indicative of her punching power.

Weaknesses

The physical attributes may be excellent for Shields, but she does not have the experience of her opponent. Nelson is not the athletic in the ring and she also may not have the punching power as Shields.

Claressa Shields vs Tori Nelson Prediction

Shields may think that this would be a normal title defence but Nelson is expected to throw in a tough competition. However, age and physical skills are in the favour of Shields, who will be able to cover the ground and can also last the distance. Despite her young age, Shields has come up against top opponents. Nelson has the experience but not many other attributes are in her favour. A victory for Shields is the likely outcome of this fight. Now, let's see the boxing betting odds.

Claressa Shields vs Tori Nelson Betting Tips

The impressive skills demonstrated by Shields have led to her success at Olympics. It would not be surprising if she manages to get a comfortable victory over Nelson, although this may not be a knockout victory. Nelson has the experience to be able to last the distance, and she will be not ready to give up. Even then, a victory for Shields appears to be the right pick. This should be a rather routine title defense for Claressa Shields, as she is definitely the far more athletic fighter, boasts tremendous punching power and is 19 years younger than her opponent. We don't believe Nelson has the advantage of experience since Shields has faced massive quality competition lately.

Nelson has never been beaten in her career. She has also largely excelled when it comes to winning on unanimous decisions. Despite a good knockout record for Shields, this game may go the distance. A great pick would be to go with an unanimous decision victory for the Shields. Nelson has boxed just twice since June 2015 and has not seen fantastic competition the last few years, but she is still a strong fighter. Nelson can land shots quite hard and she is tough, plus she has not dropped in her career, that's why we are going with this market.
