There, it was more of the same with Lin’s technique and movement just too much for the Turk to handle.
So there was absolutely no doubt of the result as Lin breezed to her third successive unanimous points victory.
Easy stuff for Lin.
Lin Yu Ting wins by unanimous decision
View from SunSport’s Joshua Jones in Paris
Lin received a warm reception as she made her ring walk with a host of empty seats inside Court Philippe-Chatrier – a vastly different atmosphere from the raucous scenes for Khelif.
And the action inside the ropes was far different, too.
Lin certainly did not have things all her own way in a low-quality opening round which saw Lin thrown to the floor by a Yildiz headlock.
Surprisingly, the five judges all gave round one to Lin before the pair exchanged some big hits in the second, seemingly willing to forego any sense of defence to throw as many punches as possible.
Lin blatantly struck her opponent on the back of the head and was rightly given a stern warning by the referee, as the Parisian crowd whistled and jeered, but again the five judges sided with the Taiwanese fighter to be in complete control going into the final round.
Lin Yu Ting vs Esra Yildiz Kahraman (Round 3)
Yildiz continues to work the harder of the two boxers.
Lin continues to counter and catch her with big straight jabs.
It is going to take a massive end to this round by Yildiz to take this fight.
As she comes forward, Yin continues to get her to walk into punches.
It is all over, it will go to the judges’ card.
Lin Yu Ting vs Esra Yildiz Kahraman (Round 2)
The fight really opens up in the first 30 seconds of the round.
Yildiz lands a series of punches before Lin swings some wild shots and connects with a couple.
After the judges scored the first round unanimously to Lin, Yildiz has to take the fight to her now.
How they scored that first round like that is nothing short of mind-bending.
That was a good round for Yildiz, surely she had to edge that one.
Lin Yu Ting vs Esra Yildiz Kahraman (Round 1)
Lin has the height advantage and with that comes a reach advantage.
She is looking to utilise that with the jab early on.
Yildiz is looking to get inside to work the shots from close range.
Whenever she tries this, Lin looks to pull her into the clinch.
We have seen more holding in the boxing in these Olympics than the entire film ‘Dirty Dancing’.
