Read the full match report here.
That is the end of India's boxing campaign at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Out of the nine qualified pugilists from the country, only one returns with a medal - LOVLINA BORGOHAIN.
The 23-year-old from Assam fought well in the pre-quarters and quarterfinal but was of no match to the reigning World Champion Busenaz Surmeneli of Turkey in the semifinal.
Whether the Indian boxing campaign in Tokyo was successful or not is a debate for another day, but today it is all about one woman - LOVLINA BORGOHAIN.
I am signing off to celebrate this historic bronze from Lovlina. Thank you for joining in to The Bridge's LIVE coverage of the bout!
Lovlina Borgohain settles for bronze in Women's Welterweight at the Tokyo Olympics. The Indian losses by an unanimous decision.
No mercy from Busenaz as she still keeps going at it aggresively.
Lovlina Borgohain seems to have exhausted herself in the first two rounds. Unable to land strong and clean punches currently.
Lovlina Borgohain loses the second round unanimously as well. And to add salts to the wounds, she has a point deducted.
Busenaz seems to be just too strong for Lovlina. Do not think this is going in the India's favour either!
Lovlina seems to be boxing better now than she had in the first round. Busenaz still has the edge.
Lovlina Borgohain loses the first round unanimously. And it was expected considering the final 30 seconds.
That was a very heated round with some words exchanged between the two boxers. It started off well but got ugly very soon.
A couple of warnings for the Indian for headbutting. She needs to be careful here.
