Boxing: U.S.’s Shields makes sure of another medal (Reuters)

By Alan Baldwin RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) – Reigning Olympic champion Claressa Shields of the United States made sure of another medal after reaching the women’s middleweight semi-finals on Wednesday. Kazakhstan’s Dariga Shakimova, who beat Morocco’s Khadija Mardi in her quarter-final, now stands between her and another final. “I would give myself an A+ if I was to look at how I reacted to my body,” Shields told reporters after a fight that she never looked in danger of losing.
