Claressa Shields was dominant in her victory over Maricela Cornejo even if her claim that she won every single round of the fight might be a little bit over the top.
Claressa Shields defeated Maricela Cornejo in a dominant victory at the Little Caesars Arena in Michigan to defend her middleweight world title.
The 28-year-old triumphed with judges' scores of 100-89, 100-90 and 100-90 to take her professional record to 14 wins and no defeats.
"I won every round like I knew I could," Shields told DAZN after defending her crown.
"It was a great fight and I think I looked really good."
Afterwards, Shields indicated her interest in facing the victor in the up-coming bout between Franchon Crews-Dezurn and Savannah Marshall in the super middleweight world championship fight due to take place later in June.
