India's challenge in boxing at the Asian Games came to an end with Lovlina Borgohain, who lost her final bout in the women's 75kg category to settle for silver.

World Champion Lovlina lost to 2-time Olympic medallist and former World Champion, home favourite Li Qian of China.

While Lovlina didn't have a bad outing by any stretch of the imagination, she didn't do enough after losing the first round. Qian, eventually, was crowned the winner by a unanimous 5-0 decision by the judges.

Earlier in the day, India's Parveen Hooda too had to settle for bronze after losing her women's 57kg semifinal to Yu Ting Lin of Chinese Taipei.
