Jones claimed her second victory in the women's Welterweight Division last Friday, beating Maria Altagracia Moronta Hernandez of the Dominican Republic by a decision of 4-0.
“Shout out to my family,” Jones said after winning the battle.
Friday's win also comes after Jones won her first match earlier last week against Mexico's Brianda Tamara Cruz Sandoval by a split decision of 3-2 in the Round of 16. She was labeled as “the clear aggressor at the beginning of the first round” of that fight, according to NBCOlympics.com.
"Boxing chose me,” she told WTOL before the Olympics began. “This is what I was supposed to do. I don't know how, I don't know why, but I had to make it work.”
She added that if she can do it, she feels like “anybody can do it.”
