The 42-year-old Australian had only seven professional fights before facing Shields and had never encountered anyone near her level. Once Shields began increasing her output, the difference in speed and skill became impossible for Scott to overcome.

It was a decisive finish, but Shields beating Scott was hardly surprising. Dropping from heavyweight to middleweight gave Shields access to another set…

When asked if Price was the fight she wanted next, Shields made her preference clear and mentioned December or January as a possible timeframe. If Price isn’t available, Shields wants Mayer or Thibeault. Thibeault also owns championship hardware Shields wants, including The Ring middleweight title.
