I am so proud of C. Shields. She demonstrated great boxing ability, skill and so much heart. It was amazing to watch her get serious from the opening bell of round 1 till the ending bell of round #4. You could see the determination in her eyes. In her gold medal bout in round #4 she became so relax and confident and exhibited head movement which reminded me of Pernell Whitaker. This young lady was not going to be denied the most prestigious achievement in the world, the gold medal. Job well done sweetheart.

No doubt. She went out there and succeeded at the highest level.

Flint is lucky to have her.
