Indian boxing review at Asian Games: Time to punch above their weight

The Hindu  

Earning four quota places and five medals in boxing, including a silver and four bronze, may appear to be a decent performance in the Hangzhou Asian Games, but keen followers of the sport would have liked to see the 13-member team fare better in the continental event. Nikhat, who got past Vietnam’s Nguyen Thi Tam and Korea’s Bak Chorong with an identical 5-0 scoreline and outclassed Jordan’s Hanan Nassar through a RSC decision, would have liked to have a little bit of luck against Thai boxer Chuthamat Raksat in the semifinals to land a medal of better colour. | Photo Credit: PTI Lovlina, who recorded fine 5-0 wins over Korea’s Seong Suyeon and Thailand’s Baison Manikon in the last four before being beaten by Chinese Li Qian in the title clash, would do well to step up aggression inside the ring in order to live up to her ‘animal’ tag and achieve greater glory. India’s coaching staff, under the leadership of high performance director Bernard Dunne, would be keen to make the most of the next Olympic qualifier—the first World Qualification Tournament in Busto Arsizio, Italy, which offers four quota places each for all the men’s weight divisions.
