Jaiswal downs Negamatullaev; Mary Kom, Sarita make final
Satish Kumar warmed the hearts of hardcore Indian fans as he tamed Agnes Keddy Evans of Seychelles in the super heavyweight semifinals of the Spicejet India Open international boxing championship here on Wednesday.
Satish was one of the three Indian men to beat a foreigner and book a berth in the final and he did that with considerable poise.
The referee had to rescue Evans from further punishment in the second round as Satish overcame a tough early phase to dominate. In the final, Satish will be up against Bakhodir Jalolov of Uzbekistan who beat Cuban Yohandi Toirac Ortega with a unanimous decision.
Devanshu Jaiswal beat Shabbos Negamatullaev of Tajikistan to make the light-heavyweight final, where he will run into Osvary David Gutierrez of Cuba.
Manish Kaushik extended his domination over Olympian Shiva Thapa with a 5-0 win and will meet Battumur Misheelt of Mongolia, who clawed his way past Ankush Dahiya with a 3-2 victory.
Dinesh beat CWG champion Manoj Kumar.
In the women’s section, Mary Kom and Sarita Devi made the final. Mary Kom was happy she tackled the tall Mongolian Altansetseg Lutsaikhan with conviction after a bit of confusion in the first round, even though the judges ruled 4-1 in her favour.
Sarita Devi attacked in bursts and said that she was looking forward to fighting an Olympic medallist Mira Marjut Potkonan of Finland in the final.
The Indian women also ensured two gold medals by setting up title clashes in the 54 kg and 69 kg sections.
