"Acting like he really did something" - Claressa Shields dismisses Greg Hardy's recent win against almost 100lbs lighter opponent Hasim Rahman Jr.

Boxing world champion Claressa Shields recently took to Twitter to invalidate former UFC fighter Greg Hardy's victory over professional boxer Hasim Rahman Jr.

The fight took place at Misfits Boxing 3, an event held on November 19 in Austin, Texas. 'Prince of War' dropped Rahman Jr. in the second round and was able to secure a decision victory over his opponent.

However, Claressa Shields did not seem to think much of Hardy's performance and pointed to the stark difference in weight between the competitors. She said the following on Twitter:

"Greg acting like he really did something... you 330 lbs. vs. someone 226 lbs.! Fight a heavyweight! @GregHardyJr"

Shields then went on to congratulate Rahman Jr. for his bravery:

"Respect to my guy @_HasimRahmanJr all the heart in the world! I’m the GWOAT & I stepping in there with nobody 100 pounds bigger than me and have knowledge in a combat sport! You held your own!"
