Claressa Shields vs. Danielle Perkins betting picks and predictions

Claressa Shields to Win by Decision or Technical Decision (-300)

Our first best bet for the title fight between Shields and Perkins will focus on backing Shields to win by decision or technical decision. She enters this fight with a professional boxing record of 15-0.

She made her professional boxing debut in November 2016 and quickly made a name for herself by winning the North American Boxing Federation Middleweight title in March 2017.

Over the next seven years, Shields went on to win the WBC Silver Super Middleweight (June 2017), IBF World Super Middleweight (August 2017), WBC World Super Middleweight (August 2017), IBF World Middleweight (June 2018), WBC World Middleweight (November 2018), WBO World Middleweight (April 2019), WBC World Super Welterweight (January 2020), WBO World Super Welterweight (January 2020) titles.

Those titles were followed by the IBF World Super Welterweight (March 2021), IBF World Middleweight (February 2022), WBC World Middleweight (February 2022), WBO World Middleweight (October 2022), WBF World Middleweight (June 2023), WBC World Heavyweight (July 2024), WBF World Heavyweight (July 2024), and WBO World Light Heavyweight (July 2024) belts.

Shields has won the vast majority of her fights by decision, that being 12 of her 15 career boxing fights. Further, nine of her last 10 fights have been won by decision.

Perkins, meanwhile, has never lost a professional fight, let alone by KO, TKO, or DQ. But she lacks the experience and star power of her opponent.

Based on this, backing Shields to win by decision or technical decision at -300 is our first pick.

Fight to go the Distance - Yes (-334)

Our other best bet for this title fight will simply ask for this fight to go the distance. As previously mentioned, Shields has seen 12 of her 15 career fights go the distance.

As for Perkins, she has seen three of her five professional fights go the distance. Shields’ most recent win was by KO/TKO, but before that she saw 10 fights in a row go the distance. 

While Perkins is relatively new to professional boxing, she has never lost, therefore backing this fight to go the distance at -334 is the way to go for Sunday’s title fight.
