Indian woman boxer Kavita Goyat (75kg) lost to China's Jinzi Li in the semi-finals and settled for a bronze medal in the Asian Games in Guangzhou on Wednesday.

Kavita went down 1-5 to Li at the Foshan Gymnasium.

The Indian's only scoring punch of the bout came in the opening round in which the home favourite managed three.

Both the boxers failed to get on the score sheet in the next two rounds.

In the final two minutes, Li managed to seal the issue in her favour by knocking off a couple of points.

In the evening, five-time world champion woman boxer M C Mary Kom (51kg) will fight her semifinal bout against another Chinese Cancan Ren.
