Welcomed by the thunderous chants of "Mary Mary" in the K.D. In the Jadhav room, the Indian took the ring with a statistical and psychological advantage over her Ukrainian opponent, whom she recently defeated in the semifinals of the Silesian Women's Open in Poland.
Standing up to the reputation, Mary started the opening round aggressively and landed a couple of correct punches fairly early in the round before taking full control with a combination of two shots to the right towards Hanna.
However, towards the end of the first round, the Ukrainian managed to shoot Mary's face before the Indian fought against Okhota. Mary appeared unshakable at all times and finished the round with some punches and a right-hand and left-hand combo.
The Indian returned with more aggressiveness in the second round, and started with a powerful hook with her right and then doubled the attack with two quick hits to the right to leave her opponent shaken.
A left-handed blow from Okhota pushed Mary back, but towards the end of the round, the Indian gave a perfect right hook to approach another gold.
The third and decisive round began with the boxer Manipuri delivering a right-handed punch and adding it with a left-handed and right-hand combo that completely discouraged Okhota.
The 35-year-old pugilist was dominant in the World Championship in New Delhi and it was no big surprise when he entered the 48 kg final with a 5: 0 unanimous victory over Hyang Mi Kim of North Korea.
Despite the past years, Mary has only improved her reflexes and the vast experience helps her to analyze the game of her opponents quickly.
