Boxing, Men's 60kg SF: Sachin Siwach WINSS!
Harris-Allan is throwing everything at the Indian. But Sachin is happy to take a back seat before landing accurate blows in his limited attempts.
The Welsh pugilist wants to dictate the pace of the bout, but Sachin isn't allowing him to.
The bell rings and the boxers embrace in the ring. I don't think Harris-Allan has done enough to overturn the defecit.
Sachin Siwach is through to the final. 9/9 for India in boxing semi-finals. Sensational!
