Boxing Shields was unable to land a knockout blow against Maricela Cornejo, but said that was all her performance lacked

"You've created a movement in women's boxing, and you really are the GWOAT [greatest woman of all time]," she said. "After fighting you, I'm ready to go back to 154 pounds or even 147."

Cornejo gave Shields some trouble in the early rounds with a solid jab and movement away from Shields' right hand. However, she couldn't generate enough power to keep the champion from coming forward.

Shields opened a cut over Cornejo's right eye in the fifth round and hurt her with a series of combinations in the seventh. A straight right sent Cornejo into the ropes, but the round ended before Shields could finish her.
