Tokyo Olympics: Boxing LIVE Day 6, 29 July - Mary Kom knocked out - Updates, Scores, Results, Blog

That's all we folks!

That's all we had from the Kokugikan Arena in Tokyo today. While the day started on a bright note for India with Satish Kumar winning his first bout of the Olympics, it ends in a completely contrasting manner.

This was probably the last of Mary Kom we saw at the Olympics as per the AIBA rules. But, you never know. She has surprised each one of us with her determination and longevity and I will not be surprised if we see her once again in Paris, though it is highly unlikely.

Thank you for joining in for the live coverage. I will now go and sombre alone to come to terms with this loss.

And as I type this, I hear swimmer Sajan Prakash is doing well at the Tokyo aquatics centre. Click here for the LIVE updates.

Summed up perfectly

Graceful in defeat. Thanks for the memories, Mary Kom. Legend

Indians hail Mary's Sportsmanship

Indians are in awe of Mary Kom's sportsmanship, even after losing such a close bout. 

No option to protest

There is no option to protest at the Tokyo Olympics. Hence, I do not really think there can be anything done. So, that should be all of Mary Kom we will see in Tokyo.

The Indian fans feel they should have won it

The Indian fans, as expected, do feel that the bout should have gone in favour of Mary Kom. Especially the first round.

Unfortunate for India

It was very very tight, and the scores suggest the exact same thing. It is 3-2 in favour of Ingrit Valencia Victoria.

Mary Kom LOSES by Split Decision

HEARTBREAK for India as Mary Kom loses the bout by Split Decision. This was very very close, and the Indian would feel hard done by.

Less than a minute remains

Less than a minute remains, and it is still as fiery as it was when it started. Going to be very tough to decide a winner here.

Still on attack

Relentless from both the boxers. No one wants to take the step back and defend! All out attack from both.
