Crews-Dezurn counters with a significant reach advantage and the desperation of a fighter looking to shock the world.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fighter Breakdown &ndash; Claressa Shields Analysis<\/strong><\/h2><p>The 30-year-old from Flint, Michigan stands as one of the greatest female boxers in history. A two-time Olympic gold medalist, Shields has compiled a perfect 17-0 professional record since turning pro on November 19, 2016. She currently holds the undisputed heavyweight title.<\/p><p><strong>Strengths:<\/strong> Perfect professional record. Two-time Olympic gold medalist brings unparalleled amateur pedigree. Multiple world titles across divisions (middleweight to heavyweight). Height advantage (1 inch). Extensive experience with 143 professional rounds boxed. Elite technical skills and ring IQ from Olympic background. Multiple undisputed championships prove ability to beat the best consistently.<\/p><p><strong>Weaknesses:<\/strong> Low knockout percentage (18%) suggests limited finishing power. Facing opponent with 4-inch reach advantage. May underestimate Crews-Dezurn&rsquo;s desperation and motivation. Heavy favorite status (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-3000<\/a>) creates immense pressure. Limited power means must dominate all 10 rounds to secure victory.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fighter Breakdown &ndash; Franchon Crews-Dezurn Analysis<\/strong><\/h2><p>The 38-year-old from Baltimore, Maryland brings a 10-2 record with 2 knockouts to this monumental challenge. The reigning WBC super middleweight champion has compiled nine years of experience with 98 professional rounds.<\/p><p><strong>Strengths:<\/strong> Reigning WBC super middleweight champion. Significant reach advantage (4 inches). Nine years of professional experience provides veteran savvy. Nothing to lose as massive underdog (+1280), can fight freely.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>Weaknesses:<\/strong> Significant age disadvantage (38 vs 30). Two career losses raise questions about ability to compete at elite level. Height disadvantage (1 inch).Facing arguably the greatest female boxer ever at her absolute peak. Less rounds boxed (98 vs 143) means less championship-distance experience.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Bets For Claressa Shields vs Franchon Crews-Dezurn<\/strong><\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Bet: Shields by Decision (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-500<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3><p>The -3000 moneyline yields no value. However, Shields by decision at -500 on FanDuel offers more reasonable pricing while backing the most probable outcome. Shields&rsquo; low knockout percentage (18%) combined with Crews-Dezurn&rsquo;s durability strongly suggests this goes the full 10 rounds.<\/p><p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-500<\/a> (implied probability: 83.3%), this reflects the reality that Shields dominates on points but rarely stops opponents. Expect a masterclass in technical boxing as Shields outworks and outboxes Crews-Dezurn over 10 rounds.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Value Prop: Crews-Dezurn by Decision (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+2000<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3><p>If Crews-Dezurn can utilize her significant reach advantage (4 inches) to keep Shields at distance for all 10 rounds, and if judges reward her for effective distance control, a shocking decision upset becomes theoretically possible.&nbsp;<\/p><p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+2000<\/a> (implied probability: 4.8%), this offers massive payout potential for believers in a miracle performance.

The Olympic champion&rsquo;s technical superiority, youth advantage (30 vs 38), and championship experience create an overwhelming skill gap that Crews-Dezurn cannot overcome.<\/p><p>Crews-Dezurn&rsquo;s reach advantage will show in the early rounds as she uses her veteran experience to keep Shields at distance, land her jab, and win rounds 1-2 on some cards. The Baltimore veteran&rsquo;s WBC championship pedigree demonstrates she belongs at this level.<\/p><p>However, as the fight progresses, Shields&rsquo; superior conditioning, technical skills, and relentless pressure should overwhelm Crews-Dezurn&rsquo;s game plan. The 30-year-old champion establishes her jab, closes the distance to negate the reach disadvantage, and outworks the older fighter in exchanges.<\/p><p>By rounds 5-10, Shields should dominate completely as Crews-Dezurn&rsquo;s age and accumulated punishment slow her output. The Olympic gold medalist&rsquo;s superior hand speed, footwork, and ring IQ should allow her to control every aspect of the fight.<\/p><p>We see Shields winning unanimously on all scorecards, cementing her legacy as one of the greatest female boxers in history!<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full Fight Card (DAZN)<\/h2><p>Claressa Shields vs. Franchon Crews-Dezurn, 10 rounds, for Shields&rsquo; undisputed heavyweight championship<\/p><p>Che Kenneally vs. Danielle Perkins, 10 rounds, women&rsquo;s light heavyweights<\/p><p>Atif Oberlton vs. Joseph George, 10 rounds, light heavyweights<\/p><p>Samantha Worthington vs. Edith Soledad Matthysse, 10 rounds, for Worthington WBA women&rsquo;s interim junior welterweight title<\/p><p>Shannel Butler vs. Danila Ramos, 8 rounds, women&rsquo;s featherweights<\/p><p>Pryce Taylor vs. James Evans, 8 rounds, heavyweights<\/p><p>Savannah Tini vs. Vaida Masiokaite, 8 rounds, women&rsquo;s junior welterweights<\/p><p>Lance Smith vs. Jorge Omar Vizcarrondo Pacheco, 6 rounds, junior welterweights<\/p><p>Jasmine Hampton vs. Agustina Solange Vazquez, 6 rounds, women&rsquo;s junior flyweights<\/p><p>Sardius Simmons vs. Dylan Potter, 4 rounds, heavyweights<\/p><p>Jaquan McElroy vs. Andre Johnson, 4 rounds, junior middleweights<\/p><p><em>All odds current as of February 21, 2026.<\/em><\/p><p><strong>(Image Credit: David Rodriguez Muno &ndash; Imagn Images)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-global mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women&rsquo;s boxing delivers one of its biggest fights of 2026 as undisputed heavyweight champion Claressa Shields faces WBC super middleweight champion Franchon Crews-Dezurn on February 22, 2026.

I was instantly hooked on MMA after watching the fight between Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi back in 2014, and since then, i have been an avid writer with a deep love for the sport and its techniques, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the sport. My favorite aspect of working at The Playoffs is the creative freedom it provides. The diverse range of topics, from listicles and SEO to news articles, keeps me engaged and motivates me to continuously improve my skills! I aim to capture the excitement of the combat sports world in my writing, acting as the middleman between fighters and their die-hard fans. It is kind of like a referee, but with words!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zaid-quraishi-884927240?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/zaid\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651504"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651504"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":651517,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651504\/revisions\/651517"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
