Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields Celebrates 21st Birthday With Second Olympic Berth

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Four years ago, Claressa Shields made history in becoming the first American female boxer to claim an Olympic Gold medal. On Thursday, she celebrated her 21st birthday by securing second tour on amateur boxing's grandest stage.

"I can officially say I'm a two-time Olympian, one-time Olympic gold medalist," said Shields, who claimed a 3-0 win over Dominican Republic's Yenebier Guillen Benitez during Thursday's semifinal round of the Americas Qualifier event in Buenos Aires, Argentina. "It feels great. I'm ready for Rio; I'm ready to conquer the other side of the world now."

Shields might be to the U.S. and women's boxing what Rigo is to Cuba and what Loma is to the Ukraine. Girl is a SAVAGE. She's the product of Ann Wolfe getting Roy Jones Jr. pregnant.

But the best shot of a gold medal from the men's team is Shakur Stevenson... And I also like Carlos Balderas. You don't find too many Mexican American boxers move the way that he does.

This girl is the best thing we got going in American amateur boxing.

If she wins a second gold medal at the Olympics she would be deserving of Ronda Rousey levels of hype, sadly I don't think she is going to get anywhere near that amount of love.
