Claressa Shields dominates again – women's boxing still waiting for a worthy rival

Claressa Shields defeated Australian Kaye Scott by TKO in round six at State Farm Arena in Atlanta before a crowd of over 16,000, including Floyd Mayweather and Terence Crawford. Shields' dominance once again raised the question of whether women's boxing can truly grow without a rival capable of challenging her. The lack of a marquee opponent may be the biggest obstacle facing the sport's commercial development.
