Nelson Drops Unanimous Decision To Shields In Verona!

Ashburn, VA's Tori "Sho Nuff" Nelson has lost a 10-round unanimous decision to Claressa "T-Rex" Shields of Flint, MI Friday night at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, NY.  Shields retained her IBF and WBC Super Middleweight championships in front of a national television (Showtime) audience.

Nelson was aggressive throughout the contest. However, she was outworked by the bigger and taller Shields.  Nelson tried to work inside but was unable to land telling blows.  Shields, who went 10 rounds for the first time in her pro career, won a shutout victory across the board, 100-90. 

Nelson loses for the first time as a pro and she is now 17-1-3, two KO's.  Shields is now 5-0, two KO's.
