Claressa Shields once again dominated her opponent and defended her undisputed heavyweight crown with a crushing points victory in her rematch with Franchon Crews-Dezurn on Sunday at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

Shields (18-0, 3 KO) and Crews-Dezurn (10-3, 2 KO) have met before when both made their professional debuts in 2016, with Shields winning every fourth round, and more than nine years later, the result was the same this time, around 10 rounds.

After bad blood at the weigh-in, in the first round both pairs jumped into the fight, and the speed of the home favorite showed the difference.

They calmly released their hands, and Shields pushed her opponent away in the second second, and in the third second, she used her boxing skills to avoid trouble.

In round four, the challenger’s face showed signs of damage as she ate more and more combinations from Shields, and in round six, the 38-year-old looked exhausted, with Shields landing almost at will, completely overwhelming her exhausted opponent.

By the eighth round, Crews-Dezurn was bleeding from the mouth, missing wildly with punches that allowed Shields to land quick combinations, and she continued to pick her shots going into the final round, where the writing was on the wall.

Crews-Dezurn was brave until the final bell, but ultimately won the fight, which was reflected on the scorecards, which showed that Shields was firmly defending the 100-90 belts.

The 30-year-old called out unified super middleweight world champion Shadasia Green after the fight.

As for George’s falling scenes

Were disturbing scenes when Joseph George fell in the corner at the end of the first round of his fight with Atif Oberlton (15-0, 13 KO).

George (13-2, 8 KO) got back on his feet, but was unable to continue the fight.

Undercard remaining

Former heavyweight title challenger and Claressa Shields opponent Danielle Perkins (6-1, 3 KO) returned to action following a stunning sixth-round stoppage of Australian Chei Kenneally (5-1, 2 KO).

There was a ten-round upset as Samantha Worthington (12-1, 7 KO) lost her undefeated record and interim WBA super lightweight title, retiring after eight rounds against Argentina’s Edith Matthysse (21-16-1, 4 KO).

In eight rounds, Shannel Butler (7-0, 3 KO) easily scored points against Danila Ramos (14-5, 1 KO) in the featherweight and super lightweight categories, and Savannah Tini (7-0, 2 KO) remained undefeated, defeating Vaida Masiokaite (11-30-6, 1 KO) on points.

Pryce Taylor (11-0, 7 KO) was another undefeated, defeating James Evans (9-3-1, 7 KO) in five rounds.

Jasmine Hampton (2-0, 2 KO) defeated welterweight Agustina Vazquez (6-7-2, 1 KO) in the fifth round in six rounds, and welterweight prospect Lance Smith (6-0, 5 KO) defeated Jorge Omar Pacheco (2-2-2, 2 KO) in three rounds.

In four-round fights, Jaquan McElroy (5-0, 2 KO) defeated Andre Johnson (2-5-1, 2 KO) in the super welterweight division, and Sardius Simmons (7-0, 3 KO) did the same in the heavyweight division against Dylan Potter (2-3-1).

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.

Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.

Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.

Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.

Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.

The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva

Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.

McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.

Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.

Undercard remaining

At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.

Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.

Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.

Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
