The Indian controlled the contest with a measured approach, using her reach and speed to keep Khamidova at a distance and pick her punches. The Uzbek, a 2025 World Championships silver medallist, struggled to impose herself as Parveen relied on quick combinations and counter-attacks to take the bout on all five judges\u2019 scorecards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The second round followed a similar pattern. Khamidova attempted to increase the pressure, but Parveen continued to maintain the distance and found openings whenever the Uzbek came forward. A late counter-attacking burst from the Indian further strengthened her position, and she took the round 5-0. The judges had Parveen ahead 20-18 on four cards, with one card reading 19-19 after two rounds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
