“My two favorites fighting.”

One individual proceeded to defend Shields in the comments and took a dig at ‘Tank’s’ height:

“On a real note, on the subject of looks, you are no model. I don’t specifically like Claressa but you are a saddo talking about a girl’s looks when you’re literally like 5 feet. Little man syndrome… Also, at least she’s progressed/proven.”
