Lovlina loses to Bussesnaz in the semis

The Indian pugilist was fiery in her previous bout, but this time she was up against a world champion like Surmeneli. The Turkish pugilist attacked Lovlina right from the start, which made things really difficult for the Indian boxer. The Indians loose guard helped the world champion land some big punches on her.

In the second round, the Indian looked gassed out. All the punches she landed looked weak, which didn't help her impress the referees. After losing both rounds unanimously, Lovlina knew it was over for her.

She tried her best but nothing would work for her as Surmeneli dominated the Indian in the third round and ended up winning the match after a unanimous decision by the referees.

Fans react to Lovlina Borgohain's loss in the semis

There is no doubt that the boxer will be a sporting sensation in India. Her bronze medal triumph has given hope to numerous people from small villages and remote areas of India.

Her loss in the semis doesn't make her any less of a sporting hero than she already is. Fans took to Twitter to express their love and appreciation for the fantastic effort put in by Lovlina.
