Five-time World champion Mary Kom punched her way to a gold medal in the 51kg category, defeating Pinki Jangra in the final on the final day of the 12th Senior Women's National Boxing Championships in Bhopal. In the day's most-anticipated bout, the Manipur ace show a class above Arafura Games gold medallist Pinki, from Haryana, in the final of the flyweight separation, at the Tatya Tope stadium.

Mary Kom thus avenged her 2009 National Championships loss to Pinki, also known as giant-killer in the boxing circuit. Both boxers opened carefully, measuring each other before making a move. The score was 1-1 after the opening round, but from the start of the second, the World champion, with a calculative counter-attack, slowly increased the margin. By the end of the second and third rounds, Mary had established a slender lead of one point -- 3:2, 4:3.

In the final round the 28-year-old switched gears and became more hateful while maintaining a steady defence to reclaim the national crown after a three-year gap. The final score read: 13:9. There was better news for Manipur as Youth World champion Sarjubala Devi capped a dazzling performance, claiming the crown in the light-flyweight division. Up against local girl and National Games silver medalist Krishna Thapa, Sarjubala was down by six points after the first three rounds. But in the final round she made a dramatic fightback, launching an attack to which Krishna had no reply.
