Olympian Jasmine Lamboria (57kg) advanced to the quarterfinals while World youth champions Sakshi Chaudhary (54kg) and Sanamacha Chanu (70kg) fell in the pre-quarterfinals in women’s competitions of the World boxing championships in Liverpool.
World Boxing Cup silver medallist Abhinash Jamwal (65kg) entered the pre-quarterfinals in the men’s section.
Jaismine ousted Brazilian Olympian Jucielen Romeu 5-0 late on Sunday.
Jaismine threw a few punches towards the fag end of a dull first-round contest to stay ahead. As Jucielen displayed aggression in the second, Jaismine countered well from a long range to consolidate her lead. The Indian moved better in the third round and landed scoring shots to frustrate the Brazilian and impress the judges.
Jaismine will meet Asian under-22 champion Khumorabonu Mamajonova of Uzbekistan.
Jamwal, who received a first round bye, saw off Mexican Hugo Barron’s challenge with a 5-0 verdict to set up a last-16 meeting with Dominican Republic’s Fernando de Jesus Piter.
Sanamacha was beaten 5-0 by Kazakhstan’s World Cup-II winner Natalya Bogdanova.
On Monday, Sakshi lost to Paris Olympics silver medallist Hatice Akbas 0-5. Sakshi began messily and saw two points getting deducted from her for holding the Turkish southpaw in the first period. It practically sealed the duel in favour of Hatice, who landed clean left punches on her way to book a berth in the quarterfinals.
