Claressa Shields v Marie Eve Dicaire- The battle of the champions

Both the boxers have remained inactive over the past few months, and they will re-enter the ring after more than a year. So, they might take some time to get into the groove. However, a high-voltage fight like this wouldn’t proceed without fireworks, and both the title holders will land aggressively at some stage.

It will also be stylistically challenging for both women. Shields, an orthodox will take on an elite southpaw in Dicaire. But, the fight may not go the distance, and there are rare chances of someone getting the KO.

Boasting 10 wins in her career, ‘T-Rex’ Shields has only 2 knockout wins. Both the knockouts came almost four years ago in 2017 when Claressa Shields took out Szilvia Szabadis for the vacant NABF middleweight title and Nikki Adler for the WBC and IBF (super) middleweight titles.

Meanwhile, Marie Eve Dicaire hasn’t claimed any knockouts in her career. All her 17 wins have come via decision so far. But, as boxing is an unpredictable sport, she can begin her KO trail by getting it against Shields. It might sound absurd, but there are certain possibilities of it happening.

If the fight goes the distance, it won’t be a problem for any of the champions. They are tactically sound, and if they have a good night, it can result in lopsided dominance from either party. So, their upcoming fight might be another example of a tactical showdown between two prime female titleholders.

Prediction: Claressa Shields defeats Marie-Eve Dicaire via a unanimous decision.
