Published on Aug 1 GUWAHATI: The Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist Assam boxer Lovlina Borgohain settled for a silver in the women's 75kg event at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. She suffered 4-1 split-decision defeat to Australia's Emma-Sue Greentree on Saturday.
The contest was a tactical battle from the opening bell, with both boxers choosing patience over reckless exchanges. Neither fighter gave much away, forcing the bout into a game of timing and precision rather than aggression.
Greentree finally raised the tempo in the closing stages, but Borgohain answered with clean counters and clever movement. When the final bell rang, both fighters raised their hands, convinced they had done enough.
However Indian boxers made one the best performance in the competition winning 10 medals which included seven gold and three silver.
