LAS VEGAS -- She became the first American woman boxer to win a gold medal in the London Olympics, then did it again a few months ago in Rio.Nice trinkets, but Claressa Shields has bigger things in mind. Way bigger.A one-in-a-century fighter, Shields said.The brash middleweight from Flint, Michigan, makes her pro debut Saturday night on the undercard of the Andre Ward-Sergey Kovalev light heavyweight title clash. Shell do it without headgear but with the same two-minute rounds as in the amateurs.And she will do it against a familiar opponent in Baltimore boxer Franchon Crews, a top amateur she beat on her way to earning a spot on the 2012 Olympic team.Very seldom do you see someone making their pro debut with this level of fight, said Mark Taffet, who is Shields co-manager. The idea is to use the first year and make it impactful in a way that hasnt been done for a female fighter.Theres no shortage of big plans for Shields, and seemingly no lack of confidence that the 21-year-old can succeed where other women boxers havent. But theres also no guarantee Shields can be a breakout fighter who can bring the kind of interest to the fractured world of womens boxing that Ronda Rousey has to the UFC.It may be a longshot, but thats not stopping Shields from envisioning womens boxing having a different future. She believes she can someday headline pay-per-view cards of her own like Ward-Kovalev at the glittering new T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip.I consider myself a pay-per-view attraction now, Shields said. The more you see me box, the more youll like me. I want to fight 12 rounds. If a girl could withstand me for 12 rounds, that would be a good fight.Shields will make her debut in a four-rounder that wont be on the pay-per-view portion of the card. Taffet said her bout, expected to take place with few people in the arena, will be streamed online and put on specialty channels in an effort to get people to buy the Kovalev-Ward card.Crews also will make her pro debut in the fight. She is an eight-time USA Boxing national champion and a silver medalist at the 2012 world championships.Shields, whose story of rising out of poverty with her fists was the subject of a documentary film after her first gold medal win, said she wants to fight 10 times in the next year to build her resume and get more people interested in her.I believe 150 percent in my boxing ability, she said. 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.Shields was miffed after winning her gold medal in London that she didnt receive the kind of endorsements and attention given gymnast Gabby Douglas. Things were a bit better in Rio, where she became the first American boxer to defend an Olympic title and won the Val Barker Trophy as the tournaments top overall fighter.Instead of continuing to draw a $5,000 monthly stipend from USA Boxing to go for a third gold in Tokyo four years from now, though, she decided to turn pro. Despite womens boxing receiving little attention in recent years and her bout not on pay-per-view, Shields isnt deterred.Taffet, who used to be head of pay-per-view for HBO, said he signed on to help manage her because he is a big believer.Shes going to make her mark not just on womens boxing, but all of boxing like the way weve seen recently in MMA, he said. Its a new world, and theres a new sheriff in town. Adidas Springblade China . LUCIE, Fla.

The team said Rodriguez has a strained left quadriceps and wont be able to return this week in Texas, as had been planned. Instead, he will remain on the disabled list and go back to Tampa, Fla., "for rest and treatment," the Yankees said in a statement issued before their game against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night. "Hes going to be out for a while," manager Joe Girardi said after the Yankees lost 8-7 in 11 innings. "So well just deal with it and continue to play." Mike Napoli hit a three-run shot after the Red Sox fell behind early, then he ended the game with a solo shot with two outs in the 11th -- ending the 4-hour, 46-minute game at 12:53 a.m. Monday. Only a day before, it appeared A-Rod was on target to return from off-season hip surgery early this week. Now, its unclear when he might be back. "I havent really talked to the doctors about it. You never know how quick a guys going to heal," Girardi said. "Until they walk through that door and theyre ready to play, I dont count on em. Its kind of like the trade rumours." Its the latest blow to the depleted Yankees, missing several injured stars almost all season. Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson came back and quickly got hurt again. Rodriguez didnt even finish his rehab assignment. Rodriguez and Girardi had said they were hoping the third baseman would be back for Tuesday nights game against the Rangers. But the three-time MVP was moved from third base to designated hitter for Saturday nights rehab game with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after feeling tightness in his quad and went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts. He was sent Sunday to New York-Presbyterian Hospital to be examined by team doctor Christopher Ahmad, and an MRI showed a Grade 1 strain -- the least serious level. Its the same injury that landed Jeter on the 15-day DL after his one-game return from a broken ankle. Jeter was injured July 11 and wont be back until late this month, at the earliest. Before the quadriiceps injury, the original plan was for Rodriguez to rejoin the Yankees on Monday in Texas.dddddddddddd Girardi then told reporters at Fenway Park at about 5:50 p.m. on Sunday that Rodriguez might make his 2013 debut on Tuesday. "I would be surprised if he played Monday. Tuesdays possible," Girardi said. But at 7:37 p.m. -- about a half-hour before first pitch -- the Yankees sent reporters an email saying the nearly 38-year-old Rodriguez "will not be joining the team for its series in Texas." Rodriguez had surgery on his left hip in January and hasnt played a major league game this season. His 20-day minor league rehab assignment expired on Sunday, and the Yankees had to activate him or leave him on the disabled list. The team said it might petition Major League Baseball for another rehab assignment because of the new injury. "I think were all a little bit anxious to see how he looks physically and how hes moving," Girardi said before the results of the MRI were announced. "Ive talked to people that have seen him and said he ran good yesterday. ... I am anxious to see. He hasnt played in a while and hes almost 38. You kind of want to see what youve got." Rodriguez told reporters in Scranton, Pa., on Sunday that he expected to work out on Monday and be back in the lineup Tuesday. He wasnt sure if he would play third or DH upon his return, he said. If Rodriguez can regain his MVP form -- rather than the one that got him benched during the 2012 playoffs -- his return would be a boost for a lineup that has been without most of its biggest stars. Jeter went back on the disabled list Friday and has played only one big league game all season. Teixeira (wrist surgery), Granderson (broken pinkie), infielder Kevin Youkilis (back surgery) and catcher Francisco Cervelli (broken hand) are also out. During the off-season, Rodriguezs name surfaced in an investigation of Biogenesis, an anti-aging clinic in Florida linked with the distribution of performance-enhancing drugs. He met with investigators from Major League Baseball earlier this month. ' ' '
