60 seconds remain
The referee has had to stop the bout twice. Hernandez and Kom continue to go at each other including two pushes against the ropes. Hernandez is told off for holding Kom. This is nail biting as neither of the two have been dominative. The energy levels have dropped and Kom might feel that she has done enough.

Hernandez has come out more aggressively and is countering Mary Kom a lot. The Indian maintains her composure and is fighting back as well with her own combinations.
