Jaismine had taken the first round as she led the scoring charts of all five judges 10-9. Heading into Round 2 with an advantage to her name, the Indian boxer started with some attacking intent. 

She used her height and landed some heavy-duty punches with her left hand. Again the second game went in the favour of India.

The final bout saw Jaismine start on positive intent, but the Kiwi fighter was also making sure to land some punches. Despite that, the Indian maintained her distance and put her vertical superiority to good use.
