​

"I have to drop down and see how i feel (first), " shields said " I think i could make 160 easy , I'm going to be bigger and stronger than any girl.  

​

"Hammer just wants to scope .I think She's pretty   scared to be honest She is more worried about me than I am about her . I'm going to kick Hammer's ass. People think Hammer is more skilled than me so I can't wait to show her that she's not"

​

Hammer , who is expected to fight in a co-featured bout on the next Shields card, was interviewed by SHOWTIME  analyst Steve Farhood and expressed excitement to make her U.S. debut and eventually face the american champion . 

'It's a great combination me and her on the same card "hammer said . "I can't wait to show the fans who Christina Hammer is. That  will be the best fight ever. it will be the game changer for female boxing it's our time to shine. 

​

"I'm long- time world champion and I have more experience I have longer reach , I'm tall, I have good footwork  and better technique  than her. I feel the energy , and I can't wait to fight against her "

​

​

The Former world champion Nelson (17-13,2 KOS) became the 173 undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional on Shobox: The New Generation.

I'm not happy because I didn't win,but other than that I thought I executed pretty well ,"said the 41-year old  Nelson , " I gave her a better fight than she was expecting "

 

"No disrespect to Claressa , she Doesn't have great power.She has great speed and she overwhelms you with a lot of punches My movement threw her off like I knew it would but knowing she was the champion, I needed to just push a little bit more"
