American grappler David Taylor proved too strong for Deepak Punia as the Indian lost his 86kg category semifinal bout 10-0 at the Tokyo Olympic Games on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old Punia will now fight for the bronze medal and his opponent will be known later on Thursday after the repechage.

Punia was no match for the American, who used his superior technique and aggressive play to romp home to a 10-0 win on technical superiority and secure a place in the final.
