Caitlin Clark is out earning the entire WNBA 😂

[@TheCrypticKnight]

Good for her

[@donaldpowell6725]

Hahahaha

That’s what happens when people glorify losers

[@CoffeandReviews]

[@mranointedthree7123]

​@@Jricks1992Go ask Reese if she prefers a national championship or all the money and attention Caitlin is getting and see what she chooses.

[@itswormboiii4951]

Stephen A failed to mention how usyk already beat AJ twice...✌🏽

[@jasonwilson2988]

And they are also overlooking that a novice in boxing with no fights arguably beat Fury. And ask the question was this a upset

[@joeblough261]

He said it right in the beginning

[@telmolicious]

@@joeblough261Not that he beat him

[@InvincibleYoungEmpire]

Salute to Angel Reese and Caitlin. Keep raising the bar and showing young girls what can be done when you keep at it and what's ahead of you. It can be done. Never say never.

[@fairshake1518]

Usyk goat. Baddest man in the world 🇺🇦🐐🐐

[@FBG_Butta_Coat]

Fury really said he only won because of Ukraine losing to Russia and they felt bad 😂

[@SuperMrMojito]

Unbelievable

[@GeneTurner-gg4yo]

What!!!!

[@drewmalesky9869]

I'm so glad Fury lost. Karmic justice was served that night.

[@NinjaSquirrel30]

Usyk go down in history books two unified undisputed world champion in two divisions 🥊 🇺🇦

[@williamwallace2386]

Stephen A did not watch the fight live for sure. that was one of the best fights ive seen. Usyk surprising Fury in the early rounds, then Fury imposing his will in the mid rounds, then Usyk turning the tides in the late rounds. that exceeded the hype for the undisputed fight.

[@bando6558]

Stop letting SAS talk about boxing. He ran off the only dude on first take who actually knew about the sport. The biggest fight in the HW division was Usyk vs fury. Usyk beat Joshua 2 times. Fury beat wilder 2 times. Both were undefeated and held all the gold. Fury fighting Joshua was never going to be a bigger fight.

[@bigsamkay]

Let’s be honest. Joshua vs Fury right now will do bigger numbers than Usyk Fury rematch

[@fredbellows4836]

He ran max off because TO said he was Blacker than him😆

[@keisi1574]

​@@fredbellows4836True. We all know why he ran him off. And we all know TO was right. Ha

[@aislinnkeilah7361]

Stephen A mentioned Caitlin’s personality which is a big part of her popularity. .

[@lepuga]

Happy new year

[@quailbanks4483]

He definitely hit Molly 😅

[@SwitchGamer21]

That Usyk was beasting out Fury I was like wow outstanding performance by him

Caitlin clark should share those endorsements money with her teammates

[@xjay1234]

Upset? For casuals yes but boxing fans wiser

[@CROS703]

Did he say Comical 😮😮😮😮

[@stevemargolies1187]

Respect for Angel

[@raytrayy_8640]

If they win just remember Texas rangers just won as well so pressure ain’t even the word…

[@JuliusC1973]

Yes, The Texas Rangers won The 2023 World Series and are The Reigning and Defending Major League Baseball World Champions until someone says otherwise. I like the chances of The Dallas Stars and The Dallas Mavericks chances of winning The Stanley cup and The NBA Championship respectively a lot more than I like the chances of The Dallas Cowboys winning a 6th Vince Lombardi Trophy this coming Season. The Cowboys were exposed last Season as Pretenders by The Cardinals, The Eagles, The 49'ers, THe Bills on THe Road last Season and by The Green Bay Packers at Home whate they had not lost in 2 Seasons.

[@drewmalesky9869]

Lol, he just wants joshua.

[@danielwoods3563]

Fury and Joshua should fight next, and the winner gets Usyk, if Usyk doesn't retire. Personally, I think Usyk should retire, he’s completed boxing. Let the rest of the division duke it out in the post Usyk era.

[@therealc.t.7085]

AJ doesn’t deserve a title shot, especially not against Usyk.

[@thehehe2327]

👏🏻👏🏻

[@jeremykistler2279]

Who is Usyk again? 😂

[@champy347]

Undisputed heavyweight champ of the world

[@carloslozada470]

Clark is the best ever

[@staffordlee1430]

Clark started a non profit foundation to help kids. She is not only a phenomenal talent, an inspirational figure to girls and women, a poised, intelligent & articulate ambassador for the W, basketball and women’s sports, but she puts her time & money into helping kids who don’t have the same accidental birth opportunities many of us were afforded!

[@williamwallace2386]

Steph A. is a casual. You wont be able to explain what happened last Saturday. You have to watch it live. What a fight that was. The back and forth and Usyk digging down deep to turn back the tide. Dont believe this Steph A. He doesnt know anything about boxing 😅😅😅

[@raloeb6610]

CC needs to refuse to play until the W straightens this out of these “professionals” trying to take her out, if she gets hurt.. then what…

[@memebobs9011]

Caitlin Clark's situation is pretty similar to wemby's experience on the spurs currently, a bunch of random loser teammates who earned them a 1st overall pick still being a last place team even with them there. Its gonna take a little more than 1 incredible talent to turn around the spurs and the fever.

[@quentelhill5074]

Wemby actually balling tho

[@champy347]

Caitlin Clark or any WNBA player for that matter couldn't even crack the starting 5 of the best 14 year old eighth graders in aau

[@jbethwal]

The WBB ship and moment is for ALL, IS the point. Reece, Brink, Clark, JuJu .... which is WHY the attack on Clark is so vile.

[@Mujali1404]

Its call Flyod May weather Syndrome. Only solutions is to promote Fighters fight and not worry about undefeated nonsense

FIRE SIDES before she does any MORE damage to Fever, Clark and WBB. WHAT the @#3 is Indiana thinking?

[@brooklynadezbaby]

Caitlin Clark stats 1 and 6 record, averaging 5.3 turnovers, averaging under 50% from the field as well 37.1 to be exact. She has 31.6 3pt FG%, she terrible on defense and her plus/minus is -10.3 you're welcome.

[@pauldeojr533]

[@Jricks1992]

No more excuse left if CC lose tonight…team she’s playing is not as good as the previous 4

[@playerx2006]

Yeah, they should whoop them

[@KingCarolina_]

Caitlin doesn’t care about what you think and she’s better than any black female player you glorify that was drafted with her. Work on that milk dud getting better basketball knowledge and the pig in your pic on losing weight and you’ll be alright and might stop hating on a 20 something year old white woman.

Stephen A has clown takes when it comes to boxing. Usyk beat Joshua twice. Fury beat Wilder threetimes. So what fight do people want to see?

Caitlin Clark is carrying the WNBA in terms of viewership. All the other WNBA players should be grateful she’s bringing attention to women’s basketball. Because let’s begin honest, remove her from the WNBA, NO ONE is watching

[@petep5207]

Boxing is dead, and it died many. many years ago. Next topic.

[@champy347]

Lmao autistic comment..Boxing especially last year and this year is going through a revival. You just said that because it's cliche and cool to say. Boxing will never die.

[@jza32]

What made her iconic ?

[@jza32]

So tired of hearing about the Cowboys 🤠 give it up when they win they win until then keep the hight expectations low 😆

[@velmano9191]

Cautionary note to Caitlin Clark. If her team doesn't start to win anytime soon AND she isn't dominating the WNBA with Steph Curry like shooting...bye bye shoe deal, that deal, every deal. Sponsors aren't going to wait forever for her to figure out the WNBA and start dominating. If they don't see marked improvements and signs she's about to be a top player in the WNBA...she'll be a one hit wonder aka a college superstar but a wash in the WNBA. So far, her team sucks and she's not shooting well. Yikes !!! She better improve on that drastically or else, the spotlight will be on someone else. She's not a quick player, a strong player...she shoots the ball well, at least in college she did. That's her bread and butter, that's what made her 'special' in college. If she can't replicate that in the WNBA, then it's not going to be good for her.
