Jaismine storms into final with RSC win

Commonwealth Games : Jaismine Lamboria turned the semifinal into a one-sided contest, producing another dominant round to seal her place in the Commonwealth Games final in emphatic fashion.

Maselela came out aggressively at the start of the second round, throwing quick combinations in a bid to turn the bout around. But Jaismine stayed composed, picking her punches brilliantly and repeatedly landing clean jabs to halt every attack.

As the round progressed, the gap in class became increasingly evident. Maselela resorted to wild swings out of desperation, but the Indian's movement, timing and accuracy left her chasing shadows.

Jaismine then trapped her opponent against the ropes and unleashed a series of crisp punches, forcing the referee to administer a standing count to the Lesotho boxer.

The pressure never relented. Sensing Maselela could no longer defend herself adequately, the referee stepped in and stopped the contest, handing Jaismine victory by RSC (Referee Stops Contest).

Jaismine stormed into the Commonwealth Games final, guaranteeing herself at least a silver medal and moving one win away from gold.
