Guwahati, December 10

World Championships bronze winner Shiva Thapa came out trumps in a tough contest while Asian silver-medallist L Devendro Singh produced a dominating show as the favourites made the quarterfinals with contrasting wins at the National Boxing Championships here.

Also advancing to the quarters was former Commonwealth Games gold medallist Manoj Kumar (69kg) and former Asian Games silver-medallist Dinesh Kumar (91kg) today.

Thapa, competing in his maiden tournament in the lightweight (60kg) category, beat Services Sports Control Board’s Manish in the most exciting bout of the day.

Devendro (52kg) completely dominated his bout against Uttarakhand’s Arvind.

However, Manoj was given a stiff fight by Meghalaya’s Tilok Budha but still managed to score 5-0 victory. Dinesh, on the other hand, hardly spent any time in the ring before the referee stopped the contest. — PTI
