LAS VEGAS -- Super middleweight Claressa Shields, the two-time U.S. Olympic gold-medal winner, made her professional debut in action-packed style as she powered to a four-round decision victory against amateur rival Franchon Crews on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena.Shields, a 21-year-old from Flint, Michigan, was the best female in amateur boxing and named the most outstanding fighter of the womens tournament at the Rio Games in August. She began her pro career by defeating Crews, a decorated amateur who had lost three times to Shields in the unpaid ranks.Shields beat Crews again in the paid ranks and did so handily, winning 40-36 on all three judges scorecards in a blazing fight. ESPN.com also had Shields winning 40-36. Shields victory took place on the undercard of her idol Andre Wards light heavyweight world title challenge against Sergey Kovalev.It feels so good to have just made my pro debut, Shields said. This is what Ive been training for. Im faster and I hit harder. And Im the better fighter. But Crews brought 100 percent, and I respect her for that. I hope to fight next in January or February.?As soon as the bell rang to begin the fight, Shields and Crews stormed toward each other with all-out aggression in what was a blazing first round. There were several heated exchanges, and they both landed clean punches. The action did not let up in the second round, but Shields appeared to get the better of Crews, even landing a heavy left hand as the round wound down.Referee Russell Mora twice warned Crews (0-1), 29, of Baltimore, for pushing Shields to the canvas and sneaking in some solid blows.Shields (1-0), who earned $50,000, was going hard for a knockout in the fourth round and rattled Crews, who made $10,000, with several hard punches.Its not what I wanted, but to be called on, last minute, for a fight of this magnitude, I am proud of myself, Crews said. We will fight again in the future.Shields, the most decorated female amateur in history who is also a four-time U.S. national champion and two-time world amateur champion, has not lost since 2012 and finished her amateur career 77-1.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- If Florida receiver Antonio Callaways marijuana usage becomes habitual, coach Jim McElwain said, there will be consequences.Callaway acknowledged during a student code of conduct hearing earlier this month -- one called to address a sexual assault accusation against the sophomore from Miami -- that he was so stoned (he) had no interest in having sex with anyone. The hearing officer cleared Callaway of sexual assault last week, saying he found no evidence suggesting that the accuser was intoxicated to the extent she could not consent.The accuser did not attend the hearing, citing bias because the hearing officer is a Florida athletics booster.McElwain got his first chance to weigh in Monday and said part of his job is to educate Callaway.If there are some issues, find help, McElwain said. If it becomes habitual, then there are some consequences. At the same time, through the stuff we do, through the education piece, Im here to help him. And Im here to make sure if theres something there that isnt a one-off, but obviously is something that is going to be a huge problem, which youre obviously aware of some of the cases here over the years that have missed some things because of those details.McElwain declined to comment when asked whether Callaway has been fully cleared to play in the Sept. 3 season opener against UMass.But he indicated that Callaway already has served a harrsh penalty for his actions in the early December encounter.ddddddddddddCallaway was suspended in January for violating the universitys code of conduct policy and forced to take classes online. He was partially reinstated in June, allowed to return to campus and work out with teammates.He has dealt with a lot, obviously not being allowed on campus, not being part of the family, not being part of what we can do to help, be supportive, McElwain said. There was a lot of time there, a lot of time to sit and think and really look deep down inside of you and say, `What am I learning from?McElwain said time will tell whether Callaway has grown up from his legal trouble.In the meantime, McElwain plans to help Callaway however he can.I truly am here to help these guys learn, grow, become better fathers when they grow up, help society and help their communities, McElwain said. Any way I can do from teaching through historical precedence, be it something good or be it something not so good, thats really what its all about it.Thats something well do. If it becomes one of those deals through the counseling hasnt worked and that kind of stuff, then there will be some harder consequences, and yet those havent come up yet.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
