1 min read
Uzbekistan’s Tashkent is witnessing a Indian boxing revolution at the Asian U15/U17 Championships, where the Under-15 squad has locked 27 of 30 medals. Girls’ team: 14/15 secured. Boys: 13/15. This blitzkrieg performance signals India’s command over youth combat sports in the continent.
The boys’ latest rampage featured RSC masterclasses. Sastha Vasanth Ashok Kumar (37kg) and Prashant (49kg) obliterated UAE’s Mohammad Al Bannai and Mayed Alyammahi in opening rounds. Nitin (40kg) pounced on Kazakhstan’s Sayat Mengdibay, Harshvardhan Gina (55kg) on Tajikistan’s Muhammad Fozilov – both second-round RSCs.
Strategic gems shone in Yash Kumar’s (33kg) and Rohit Pothina’s (35kg) 4:1 split triumphs over Tajikistan’s Rasuljon Karimov and Mongolia’s Temulen Munkhbayar. Clean sweeps defined the rest: Sameer Bohra (43kg) 5:0 past Thailand’s Yarm, Nongpoknganba Meitei Oina (46kg) 5:0 on Mongolia’s Munkh-Ochir Ganzorig, Mohammad Yasar (58kg) 5:0 versus Kazakhstan’s Meirlann Beisekhan.
Flashback to earlier conquests: Nongpoknganba’s 5:0 on Kazakhstan’s Abdurakhman Vushanalo, Prashant’s repeat on Bakdaulet Akmet, Yasar’s first-round RSC on Kyrgyzstan’s Akbarzhan Nabidjanov, Nivesh Pal’s (54kg) 5:0 on Adilat Galiyev, Ranveer’s (66kg) walkover advance.
Reverses hit Lilamani Singh (61kg), RSC’d in round three by Uzbekistan’s Azizbek Egamberganov, and Mehul Rana (70kg), early RSC victim to Kazakhstan’s Ayan Bauerzhan. Still, 27 assured medals across categories affirm India’s elite training yielding Asian supremacy, with the tournament far from over.
