LAS VEGAS -- Claressa Shields didnt feel at her best, but her pro debut was a winning one anyway.The two-time Olympic gold medalist won a decision Saturday over Franchon Crews in a four-round super middleweight fight, making the transition to the pros after the most successful amateur career for an American woman.Shields came back from a slow first round to land the bigger punches in an entertaining fight on the undercard of the Sergey Kovalev-Andrew Ward light heavyweight title fight on the Las Vegas Strip.Its not what I wanted but to be called on, last minute, for a fight of this magnitude, Shields said. I am proud of myself. We will fight again in the future.Both women were fighting without headgear for the first time but it didnt seem to be a factor as they traded punches freely before a sparse but appreciative crowd. Shields won all four rounds on the scorecards of the three ringside judges.Shields, who became the first American woman to win a gold medal in the 2012 Olympics and added another in Rio in August, had vowed to be impressive in her first pro fight. And she wasnt shy about trading punches with Franchon, a Baltimore fighter who lost to her during the Olympic trials in 2012.Shields was pushed to the canvas twice by Crews, who started strong but seemed to tire quickly.It feels so good to have just made my pro debut, she said. This is what Ive been training for. Im faster and I hit harder.Shields, from Flint, Michigan, weighed 167 pounds to 168 for Crews.The 21-year-old Shields said she plans to fight up to 10 times in her first year as a pro. Her goal is to one day headline a pay-per-view card of her own.I believe 150 percent in my boxing ability, she said before the fight. I know Im a great fighter. I fight better than 90 percent of the men who box now. I just know that, and Im not at my best yet.Womens boxing has largely been a fringe sport in recent years, and women have rarely appeared on televised cards. While the fight was on the undercard of Kovalev-Ward, it wasnt a part of the pay-per-view telecast.Nike MLB Jerseys . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.
