Don't fret too much about Lovlina having to face a tough opponent in the semi. Medal in the bag, might as well get past the tough one in the semi itself instead of going to the final and losing to the same boxer.

Just on the basis on the performance in the QFs, one can believe that Lovlina Borgohain can go even deeper. Her jab was superb, her footwork even better and it looks like she has more left in the tank.... a lot more. pic.twitter.com/lAYu2etzza
