Arundhati Choudhary stunned defending champion Rosie Eccles of Wales in a split decision in 70kg class, while world champion Jaismine Lamboria (57kg), Preeti Pawar (54kg) and Ankush Panghal (80kg), and Jadumani Singh (55kg) also sailed into the Commonwealth Games final after dominant displays in their last-four round bouts here on Friday.

Arundhati beat her Wales opponent 4-0 in a messy and often ill-tempered women’s 70kg category semi-final as the Indian held on to her good show in the first two rounds, forcing Rosie to receive a standing count during that time. Jaismine was so dominant in her semi-final bout that she won in a Referee Stops Contest (RSC) decision after the Lesotho boxer received her third standing count in the closing seconds of the second round.
