Another English pair Alison Waters and Emma Beddoes took home the bronze overcoming Australians Rachael Grinham and Kasey Brown 11-3, 11-5 in a playoff. (IANS) Boxing finals - Devendro Laishram is beaten by NIR’s Paddy Barnes, World No.3 and a two-time Olympic bronze medallist. The Northern Ireland boxer, who was the defending champion as well, won all three rounds. Devendro fired punched for every second of that match but he lost his form a little even as Barnes kept his. Barnes’ defence was solid and he knew just how to impress the judges. - Laishram Devi loses Australia’s Shelley Watts in the women’s 57-60kg category. The Indian took the first round but seemed to tire after that even as Watts got stronger. Conditioning made the difference. India gets the silver medal.
