thepoliticalnotebook: Way to go, ladies! US Olympic boxers flyweight Marlen Esparza, 23, and middleweight Claressa Shields (AKA “T-Rex”), 17, are advancing to the medal round! Check out WNYC’s excellent coverage of London’s women’s boxing competition. It’s the first games in which women have competed in boxing.  My fingers are so crossed that one of these two is the first lady boxer to take home Olympic gold.
