Olympic Boxing 2016: Medal Winners, Scores and Friday's Results

Friday's boxing slate at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro set up several gold-medal matches and handed out one such prize, as France's Estelle Mossely defeated China's Yin Junhua by split decision in the women's lightweight gold-medal bout.

The rest of the day featured semifinal contests in men's flyweight, men's light welterweight, men's super heavyweight and women's middleweight.

American Claressa Shields, who won a gold medal in women's middleweight at the 2012 Summer Games, continued her quest for a second consecutive trip to the top of the podium with a dominant win over Kazakhstan's Dariga Shakimova.
