NEW DELHI: India's assured medal tally rose to eight on a bitter-sweet day which saw former World championship silver medallist N. Usha suffer a shock quarterfinal defeat in the Asian women's boxing championship in Astana, Kazakhstan. Priyanka Chaudhary (54kg) won by a narrow 7-5 margin against Minova Ayako of Japan after fighting out a tense quarterfinal bout on Thursday. On the other hand, Pavitra (57kg) had no trouble getting past another Japanese Kugimiya Tomoko 11-2. However, there was disappointment to follow in the lightweight (60kg) category in which Usha was knocked out by Chorieva of Tajikistan. After the opening two minutes ended 0-0, Usha was on the backfoot in the second round with Chorieva taking a 2-0 lead. She came back to make it 3-3 in the third round and the two were tied 4-4 for most part of the final round as well. But, with 20 seconds left on the clock, Chorieva landed a scoring punch to leave the Indian camp stunned. — PTI
