Claressa Shields is on a mission to dominate several weight classes and solidify her position as one of, if not, the greatest female fighter of all time. She continues her quest on Friday night, January 10th against Ivana Habazin at 9pm on Showtime. Shields is going for a title in a 3rd weight class, this time at super welterweight. Brian Campbell, co-host of Morning Kombat, among other things, joins us to talk Floyd, heavyweights, the dream fight at 147 and more. We also go to the mailbag and offer our condolences to the family of Carlos "Sugar" De Leon.
