It was Japan vs Philippines in the first boxing gold medal match in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. After a very close and clinch-heavy contest, the local fighter in Sena Irie was awarded the decision over Nesthy Petecio to take home the gold medal.
Irie and Petecio split the first two rounds in four of the five scorecards, and the gold medal was decided in the final three minutes. All of the judges gave the third round to the host country boxer, ending up with a 5:0 result in a bout that was much closer than the final tally indicated.
