In the London Olympics on Wednesday, Indian boxing star M C Mary Kom lost her semifinal bout to Great Britain's Nicola Adams and had to settle for a bronze. Mary Kom was not allowed an opportunity to exhibit her natural game as her rival forced her to go defensive. The Indian lost her 51 kg semi-final bout 6-11 against the world number two British boxer.

Mary Kom's medal took India's tally to four — one silver and three bronze — which is one more than the country's haul in the 2008 Games in Beijing.
