Devika made light work of Ireland's Margaret Lambe in the 52kg bout. Her impressive attacking display right from the word go forced the referees to stop the contest in the third round and declare her winner by an RSC verdict. Preeti also put up an equally dominant show in the 57kg bout and hardly allowed Finland's Benedicta Maekinen to score any point before winning it comprehensively by a unanimous decision.
