Asian Games 2014: Mary Kom’s Punches Bring Home Another Historic Gold Medal

India's M.C. Mary Kom has created history again in real-life. She defeated Zhaina Shekerbekova of Kazakhstan and clinched her first gold in an Asian Games. This is India's seventh gold at Incheon, South Korea.

The world number five was at her magnificent best in the final bout of the Asian Games women's flyweight (48-51 kg) division.

While Shekerbekova, who is six years junior to 31-year-old Mary, made a good start winning the first round. However, Mary used her greater experience to pave her way to victory. Using a combination of right and left jabs, Mary won the next three rounds as the audience kept cheering her up at the Seonhak Gymnasium in Incheon.

Using her experience from 14 years of boxing, Mary Kom smartly analysed Shekerbekova's approach before showcasing her super power to the Kazak. The Padma Bhushan award winner, then, rushed to claim top honours in the event.

Recently, Mary Kom was also in news for the beautiful sport biopic titled after name. It was none other than Bollywood diva Priyanka Chopra who played her reel version in the movie. The actress took to Twitter to congratulate her 'Shero', "Yaaaaaay!!! Now that's called Woman Power! Mary Kom gets gold... Makes India Proud & shows us that we can achieve anything! (sic)".

Yesterday, Priyanka had wished Mary luck before her final Asian Games bout.
