The young Lalbuatsaihi doesn't have anything to lose against the vastly experience Milana Safronova, and its showing in the final of Women's Light Welter (60-64kg) right now. The Indian's free-flowing style is a treat to watch!
Kazakhstan's Rimma Volossenko sealed a first round knockout win over Huswatun Hasanah (Indonesia) in the final of Women's Light (57-60kg). She gets her gold medal now!
Sitora Turdibekova of Uzbekistan defeated Vladislava Kukhta (Kazakhstan) in the final of Women's Feather (54-57kg) final. She has received her gold medal.
Dina Zholman received her gold medal for Women's Feather (54-57kg) final. She defeated Sitora Shogdarova in the final. India's Sakshi also received her bronze medal. She lost to Zholman in the semi-final.
Nazym Kyzaibay tried to go all in during Round 2, but couldn't really get past the defensive stance of Mary Kom. There was some good faking by Kyzaibay, but Mary Kom's footwork were a treat to watch for fans!
The Round 2 has begun and Nazym Kyzaibay seems like she is reeling to pressure. This is what Mary Kom wants; her opponents to be out of stamina in the latter stages! Good tactics by the Indian legend!
