Stoyka Petrova: 'I didn't do enough to beat Nicola Adams'

Stoyka Petrova admits that she has little complaint over the judges' points decision in Monday morning's defeat to Team GB's Nicola Adams.

Bulgarian boxer Stoyka Petrova has conceded that she did not do enough to overcome Nicola Adams in their quarter-final bout on Monday morning.

The 29-year-old saw her Baku 2015 flyweight campaign come to an end on the back of a ninth career defeat against her British opponent.

Petrova was narrowly outscored in each of the opening two rounds by a fired-up Adams, and after the fight she admitted that there was little disagreement with the points decision on her behalf.

"I don't argue with the decision of the judges," she told reporters. "The decision is the decision. I prefer to watch the match on video tape and then discuss how I did today. Do I think I did enough to win? Obviously not."

It is the third time Petrova has suffered an agonising loss to Adams at this stage of a major competition, following her London 2012 and Bucharest 2014 defeats.
