The semifinal for the women's 70 kg category has commenced, featuring Arundhati Choudhary competing against Rosie Eccles from Wales.
Eccles is starting strong, while Arundhati is taking a more measured approach. It appears that the Welsh boxer is performing better in the opening round. However, there's a standing count against Eccles just before the round concludes. Arundhati seems pleased with this development. Consequently, the first round is awarded to Arundhati, as the judges believe he delivered the more effective punches.
Eccles will need to intensify her efforts in the second round. While she is receiving encouragement from the audience, Arundhati remains resolute. The Indian boxer's strikes are proving to be more impactful. Eccles is putting in a strong effort, yet it remains uncertain if her timing is accurate. Arundhati's counter punches are inflicting significant damage. The second round has been somewhat chaotic, and all five judges award the round to Arundhati!
Eccles is becoming increasingly desperate, failing to inflict sufficient damage on Arundhati. The conclusion of the match is chaotic, and the audience is expressing their discontent with boos. It seems that the defending champion has not performed well enough to advance. The decision is split, and Arundhati emerges victorious with a score of 4-0! The crowd's loud disapproval is evident, but it doesn't seem to affect the Indian boxer. She is pleased with her performance and will be back tomorrow for the gold medal match.
