The Real Million Dollar Baby

About Me

Some people call her "The Bronx Bombshell" Some call her "The Real Million Dollar Baby" others Just call her "Moe".........12-0 (6kos) Recently named Boxer of the Year 2007 by World Sports, Currently ranked #1 super featherweight in the World by the WBA..And #5 by the WBC.... Maureen “Moe” Shea was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. Born in 1981, she was raised by a strict Irish father, a now retired NYPD Detective. Maureen’s mother, of Mexican heritage, worked in the airline industry and this afforded ample travel to Maureen. Moe spent much of her youth growing up in the Bronx and in the Guadalajara area of Mexico.In the amateurs, Maureen was known and respected for her boxing. First training out of NYBG with Luigi Olcese, she was eventually brought to Gleasons to train with the legendary Hector Roca. It was a gradual process in Shea’s growth and preparation for the game of professional boxing. In 2004, when Hilary Swank came looking for Hector Roca to help her get ready for the movie Million Dollar Baby, Roca paired Swank with Maureen Shea.Maureen was Hilary’s main sparring partner in preparation for Swank’s award winning role in the movie. When the international media found out that Swank attended all of Maureen’s amateur bouts, Maureen was thrust into the spotlight. It was Maureen’s boxing, however, that captured the attention. Now, still with the same team that brought her start in the amateur game, Maureen Shea has stepped up to the challenge of professional boxing.“Always in entertaining fights….Shea is a pure boxer…she is tenacious”- Bryan Adams, SNY Sports"Watched Maureen Shea, 125 pounds of wired energy, beat the tar out of…and, not to take anything away from Hilary Swank, you can see what inspired her Academy-Award-winning performance."- Neil Steinberg, NY"Shea…had focused ferocity, like a cornered animal fighting for its life. After, I left, realizing that nothing on the card could possibly top it.”- Daily News“Real Deal” - Sports Illustrated
