Being In Fighting Shape

 

I believe that if someone approached Laila and slapped her, she would quickly snap to attention and instinctively respond with a slap or punch in return. Having received boxing training, she wouldn’t need to consciously recall her techniques; she would react instinctively in the heat of the moment. That’s what I call being in fighting shape. It would be a quick knock out.

Laila Ali Breaks Silence on Beef with Claressa Shields

 There has been some beef with Laila Ali and Claressa Shields. I had no idea this has been going on recently. But how I found out is, some weeks ago I had a dream about Laila Ali. She was caring a little baby in her arms. We were inside a building in a hall way. I said: Hi Laila! She wouldn’t speak to me, and she looked kind of worried. Then, later in the dream we were both standing outside somewhere. I didn’t recognize the place. She began speaking to me. Maybe the dream was trying to tell me that Laila has her own personal trials, but a good person. She does have a family. Dreams can be symbolic you know.

This morning, I heard her voice in my dream saying: “You already knew.” So when I woke up, after reading over some papers and popping on the TV, I thought: “Let me see if Laila Ali is up to anything new.” I got on the internet. I checked YouTube and Claressa’s name came up about Laila in the headlines.

I See Laila’s Father In Her

 I love to watch Laila Ali, and I love to hear her talk. I see her father in her though she is a different person than he was. Laila mentioned: I am a healthy 42. I’m not just a 42 that’s just been sitting around. I am a 42 who doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke - eats clean. ..” In these words and in her expression,  I see her father. See the video below.

Claressa is saying that Laila Ali felt threatened by her and she’s also saying Laila is envious of her. By this time, Laila has retired from boxing. She knows Laila is not going to come out of retirement. That doesn’t mean Laila can’t prove her wrong. But why should Laila come out of retirement just to do that? If she does, she’ll be back into boxing, and that’s not what Laila wants to do. Laila still hits the punching bag and is staying healthy. She has gone on to do other things. I’m going to leave it as that. But there is one thing I do know for a fact. It didn’t matter to Laila when she was boxing whether you knew mix martial arts. Boxing is just boxing all by itself, and you had to do just that. Girls got in the ring thinking that they could beat Laila, and they couldn’t prove themselves.

🗣️ "MUHAMMAD ALI IS THE GREATEST, LAILA ALI'S JUST HIS DAUGHTER"

🥊 @Claressashields says @TheRealLailaAli is "envious" of her, but hopes she comes out of retirement to face her & vows it'll be a "big mistake"
