NEW DELHI: Pune-based Devika did light work on Ireland Marguerite Lambe in the 52 kg fight. Her impressive attacking display from the start forced the referees to stop the fight in the third round and declare the Indian the winner by a verdict from the RSC.
PreetiHaryana native also put on an equally dominating show in the 57kg bout and barely allowed her opponent Benedicta Maekinen of Finland to score a point before winning it overall by unanimous decision.
