Naval version

Mary Kom, the 38-year-old from Imphal, started aggressively and unleashed a flurry of punches as she dominated the round to win 30-27. Her opponent fought back in the second round when she attacked a bit more and won it 29-28. Stunned by the reversal, Mary Kom tightened her defence and attacked with intent to win the next three rounds and clinch the bout.

Mary Kom will open her campaign with a first round clash with Dominica's Miguelina Hernandez in the women's 51kg category but will face a tough ask in the Round of 16 as she is likely to meet third seed and Rio Olympics bronze medallist Ingrit Valencia of Colombia. If she gets past Ingrit, the 38-year-old veteran, hoping for one last hurrah in the Olympics, is scheduled to face second seed Yuan Chang of China.
