Once the picture was up, the boxing community wasn’t about to throw in the towel. Instead, they weighed in on the visual mashup. Fans and fellow boxers alike jumped into the ring, so to speak. Their reactions came fast and funny, like a flurry of jabs at a speedbag.
First in the ring was Rob Potts, who wasn’t afraid to think outside the box. He equated the unusual duo to legendary pairs, specifically Jay-Z and Beyonce, and JFK with Jackie O. Suddenly, the image wasn’t just a laugh – it was a modern romance we didn’t see coming.

Next up was Amanda Serrano, who wasn’t there to pull punches. She honed in on the distinct tattoos now adorning Claressa’s arm and hand, clearly not part of her usual look. But she ended her jab on a high note, acknowledging that Shields’ pretty face remained unscathed.
Lmao look at your arm & hand all tatted up 🤣

Then came J from BK, throwing a hook with his observation. He called out the oddity of Shields having a white tattooed left arm. It was a detail that emphasized the photo’s absurdity and compounded the laughs.
