Jaismine Lamboria punches her way to quarter-finals of World Championships

Jaismine Lamboria

Commonwealth Games bronze winner Jaismine Lamboria closed in on her maiden World Championships medal after storming into the quarter-finals, even as two other Indian boxers bowed out of the competition.

Competing in her third World Championships, Jaismine produced a clinical performance in the women's 57kg round of 16, out-punching Brazil's two-time Olympian Jucielen Cerqueira Romeu 5-0 late Sunday night. The bout was a repeat of their gold medal clash at the Astana tournament in July, which Jaismine had edged narrowly.
