Guwahati: Athlete Lovlina Borgohain’s Commonwealth Games (CWG) journey came to an end on Wednesday after she was eliminated from the boxing quarterfinals at the CWG 2022.
Wales’ Rosie Eccles defeated Lovlina by a score of 3-2 on a split decision in the women’s 70 kg light middleweight division.
The much-favoured opponent was dealt a beating in the final two rounds by Eccles, who put on a valiant performance and threw blows at Lovlina. Lovlina had won the opening round 4-1.
The boxer had on Saturday easily defeated Ariane Nicholson of New Zealand in the light middleweight 70kg division by a score of 5-0 to go to the quarterfinals.
However, after defeating Wales’ Helen Jones 5-0 on Wednesday, world champion Nikhat Zareen is guaranteed a medal in the women’s 50 kg light flyweight division. The 26-year-old Nikhat attacked Jones right away at the National Exhibition Centre.
