1 Minute to go
Can Simranjit pull off the unexpected? It seems as though the game is already lost as Seesondee is still as agile and quick as ever. She is still landing punches successfully and might have won this comfortably.

Round 3
Both coaches are cheering their boxer's on. Seesondee continues to react effectively every time Simranjit makes a move. She is taking her chances well and has used Simranjit's open guard quite effectively.

Round 1
Her Thai opponent seems to be getting the better off in the initial 30 seconds. Lot of combinations as both of them try and get by each other. Simranjit is dropping her guard too often and is that is being capitalised on by her opponent.
