Claressa Shields breaks down Katie Taylor vs. Amanda SerranoDAZN
The self-proclaimed 'GWOAT' gave a tactical breakdown of the historic April 30th fight on The DAZN Boxing Show.

Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano for the undisputed women's lightweight on April 30th should make for an intriguing contest. 

The fight which will be broadcast live across the world on DAZN will see two of women's boxing most accomplished talents go head-to-head in a historic main event at Madison Square Garden. 

This presents an interesting clash of styles and unified women's world middleweight champion Claressa Shields broke down the fight for The DAZN Boxing Show starting off with Serrano's gameplan. 

"Amanda Serrano needs to go in there and impose her will on Katy Taylor, don’t go and box with Katy Taylor," Shields began. 

"Katy is slick, she’s fast, she doesn’t care to be on the inside and the outside, but she does have problems with pressure fighters. She can’t perform and use her great skills if you just come and attack her.

"We’ve seen that in fights with Delfine Persoon and her fight with Jessica McCaskill. Even though she won those fights, they were very lucky and she wasn’t able to look as good as she always looks."

When it came to Taylor's strategy, Shields believes avoiding Serrano's power is crucial for the Olympic gold medalist. 

"She needs to go to Amanda Serrano’s body," Shields said. 

"Amanda Serrano is a big puncher, if you don’t take the wind out of her, you’re going to get [hit] with those big shots all night.

"So one, she needs to go to the body, keep that speed, keep that skill and never stand in front of her, and I believe she could get the victory."

Shields then finished her breakdown with a prediction for April 30th. 

"If I have to give a decision, I’d say Amanda Serrano split decision."
