Sumit, Nishant in AIBA men’s World boxing championships pre-quarterfinals
The Hindu
Gonzales too good for Sachin
Sumit (75kg) sailed into the pre-quarterfinals of the AIBA men’s World championships on Saturday notching up a 5-0 victory over Tajikistan’s Abdumalik Boltaev.
Sumit, however, copped a warning in the second round for hitting Boltaev on the back of the head repeatedly despite being cautioned by the referee. But the docking of one point had no impact on his control over the proceedings.
Later, Sachin (80kg), who got a first-round bye, lost 1-4 to American Robby Gonzales. The Indian seemed up for an intense showdown in the opening round but ran out of steam.
