When Friday consciously, it was almost a week since India had added a medal to Kitty in Tokyo, the historic silver was won by Mirabai Chanu.
Since then, it was the day of despair because the country slid from one heartbreak to another.
Immediately, the tongue began to raise.
It seems that Tokyo is destined to be a forgotten Olympic match for the Indian contingent.
But one boxer continues to believe.
Keep praying.
Continue to trust his instincts.
On Friday’s Friday, the five-foot four-foot frame Lovlina Borghain had raised the spirit of the nation that slack by guaranteeing himself from a bronze medal.
Now, the sky is the limit for enthusiasm fighters.
Pitted former world champion – Chen Nien-Chin Taipei China – the possibility of stacked with full with Lovlina.
But he shows that boxing is not all about Brawn, it’s also about using your brain.
Japan is known as sunrise solar, but for India, this year’s Olympic sun rose from the northeast of the country.
Of the seven sisters, after Manipur, now the moment of Glory Assam.
In this charming 69KG quarter-final meeting, Lovlina showed its common sense, and extraordinary street intelligence to win over her opponents who were given nucien.
It was a 4-1 verdict to support Lovlina.
The three rounds benefit it.
Despite the surge in his opponent, Lovlina proved to be insurry.
By entering the semifi, he ensured bronze for himself and the country.
In boxing, there was no match of third place and both semifinalists who lost bronze medals.
Lovlina followed Mary Kom as the second Indian female boxer who guaranteed the medal from the Olympics.
Mary has won Bronze in the London 2012 match.
Lovlina will take the top seed Busenaz Surmeneli from Turkey in the semifinals on 4.
August.
Surmeneli was a world champion that ruled and won his quarter-finals against Anna Lysenko from Ukraine 5-0 after a unanimous decision by the judge.
Interestingly, Lovlina and Surmeneli have never faced each other, so there are no head-to-head records between the two to pass.
“I have no strategy.
There is always the possibility of the opponent to find it.
So, I have planned to make it simple in the ring.
I think I will see what happens and then decide what to do and handle it.
I only plan to win all the rounds.
I don’t want to let go.
I want to give me 100 percent.
“Lovlina faced Chen for the fifth time in his career.
He has lost four previous occasions.
Since when he entered the ring, Lovlina had a positive vibration for him.
Clear from the start that he came more prepared to handle Chen.
First, he tried to release Chen by holding it in ‘reaching’ for some time.
This strategy produces results.
As soon as the two boxers escaped, Chen rushed to Lovlina like a bull that went berserk and heavy rain.
Lovlina defended brilliantly, and when Chen stopped and lowered the guards, India went to the connected right and left hook combination.
Lovlina gets points smartly.
The endeavor did not play with the gallery but to keep the scoreboard score.
Finally, India’s congratulations ?? #Lovlina # Teamindia- Vijender Singh (@boxervijender) 1627616864000 Three Hakim who chose the sake of the first round must increase Lovlina’s confidence.
In the second half, Lovlina was very irresistible.
The fleet’s feet are amazing.
Chen has more strength but it doesn’t give him a profit.
Tactics dodge Lovlina right.
भारत के लिए @ Tokyo2020 बॉक्सिंग में पहला पदक पक्का करनी व lovlinablowai व देशशासियों को बहुत बहुत बधाई.
