Sweety was up against China’s Lina Wong. Lina is a world famous boxer and it was not easy for Sweety to overcome her experience. The fight started and Sweety played aggressively from the first round. She was leading 3-2 after the first round. In the second round, the Chinese boxer troubled her a lot and Sweety fell to the ground as well. Although she was leading 3-2 after the second round, her lead had been reduced.
In the third round, there was a fist fight between the two wrestlers. Meanwhile, the Chinese boxer also trapped Sweety by taking her to the shore. However, Sweety cleverly came out of the edge, staying out of reach of the Chinese boxer and then rained punches on the Chinese boxer. After the third round the decision went for review. Here too the result went in favor of Sweety and India got its second gold medal in the competition. Now after Neetu and Sweety, gold medals are expected from Nikhat Zareen and Lovlina Borgohain. Both these boxers have also reached the finals.
