The closely contested bout saw Lovlina display her trademark composure and technical precision, but the majority of judges favoured Greentree's aggression and ring control.
How the Final Unfolded
According to the judges' scorecards, Greentree edged several tightly fought rounds to claim the gold medal by a 4-1 margin. Lovlina remained competitive throughout, landing clean punches and staying in contention until the final bell. However, the Australian's ability to dictate terms in key exchanges proved decisive for the panel.
What the Silver Means for Lovlina
Despite missing out on gold, the silver adds another landmark to Lovlina Borgohain's distinguished career — one that already includes an Olympic bronze from Tokyo 2020, a World Championship medal, and Asian Championship success. The Assamese boxer's campaign in Glasgow once again underscored her resilience and experience at the highest level of international boxing.
India's Boxing Haul on Saturday
Lovlina's silver was part of a remarkable seven-medal sweep for India in boxing on the day — comprising five gold and two silver medals. Jadumani Singh was the other silver medallist, while Arundhati, Priya, Sakshi, Preeti, and Jaismine claimed gold medals. Notably, 10 Indian boxers have qualified for finals at the Games, raising expectations of further medals.
India's Overall Standing at CWG 2026
The boxing bonanza, combined with a 1-2 finish in Men's Shot Put F57 and a bronze in judo, propelled India to fourth place in the overall medals tally. India's total now stands at 35 medals — 11 gold, 16 silver, and 8 bronze — as the country continues to build on its strong Commonwealth Games record in combat sports.
With several boxing finals still to come, India's medal count is expected to climb further before the Games conclude in Glasgow.
Point of View
World, and Commonwealth stages. The more significant story on Saturday was India's collective boxing dominance: seven medals in a single day, with ten finalists still to fight. India's boxing programme has quietly become one of the most reliable medal factories at the Commonwealth Games, yet it rarely receives the structural investment conversation it deserves. Whether that pipeline holds beyond Glasgow will depend on whether the system backs these athletes between cycles, not just during them.
