Claressa Shields completely out-classed late replacement Maricela Cornejo and won their 10-round main event by unanimous decision at Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit. The undefeated Shields shut out Cornejo on the scorecards of judges John Basile (100-89), Waleska Roldan (100-90) and Robin Taylor (100-90).
Shields stunned Cornejo with numerous right hands and showed superior speed, skill and power throughout a bout that wasn’t the least bit competitive. Los Angeles’ Cornejo displayed a lot of toughness, though, and forced Shields to go the 10-round distance in a 10th straight fight.
