BOUT 2
FIGHT SUMMARY
The 2nd fight of the evening was a 4 Round contest again this time in the Light Weight category. Both boxers were making their Professional Debuts. Lokesh Dangi in his Red Shorts had a clear measure of his opponent from the get go with a slew of hooks and straight punches.

BOUT 3
FIGHT SUMMARY
The 3rd fight of the evening was a 4 round contest in the feather Weight Category between 17 Year old Arman vs 23 Year old Rakesh Lohchab. Lohchab has been an experienced campaigner in the professional Circuit in the past 3 years with a Professional Boxing Record of 8 Wins, 2 Losses and a draw. The 17 year old Arman was on the back of his 2 wins in the past few months. It was a surprise to see the fight go the distance considering Arman’s relative lack of experience on paper.
Round 1 was a blur with neither boxer really landing any clear punches. This strategy worked to Arman’s advantage anyways. Taller of the 2 opponents, Arman kept Lohchab at a distance with Rakesh not trying too hard to land any clear punches of his own. A largely forgettable fight, Rakesh showed a little more urgency in the 4th round. The fight went to the scorecards and the 2 Judges ruled in favour of Rakesh while the 3rd Judge ruled in Favour of Arman.
FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS
BOUT 4
FIGHT SUMMARY
Nishant was a clear superior fighter who had Abhishek on the canvas within the opening seconds of Round 1. Abhishek’s only strategy seemed to be to resort to clinching to avoid powerful blows from Nishant.By the 1st minute of Round 2 Abhishek was ready to give up and indicated his intent of not continuing through his seconds.
FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS
BOUT 5
FIGHT SUMMARY
The 5th fight of the evening was a 4 round contest between 2 debutants in the women’s Light Welter Weight division. 17 Year old Rekha fighting out of the Red Corner was the clear aggressor in the opening rounds with 18 year old Anjali sitting back for counter punching opportunities.
The fight went the distance and lasted 4 rounds. The decision went to the Judges who ruled unanimously in favour of Rekha.
FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS
BOUT 6
FIGHT SUMMARY
The last fight of the night was in the Super Fly Weight Category between 27 year old Sandeep Kumar and 17 Year old Aman. Sandeep had an impressive record of 5 Wins and 1 loss prior to this fight. Aman on the other hand was on a loosing streak with 4 past losses.
As was expected considering their past records, Sandeep was the dominant boxer while laying quick Jabs and hooks. Aman clearly had no answer and was fighting to survive the onslaught. Sandeep’s height advantage also meant that he was always towering over Aman while landing his combinations.
A couple of quick jabs to the face in the 2nd round caught Aman off guard and he fell to the canvas, prompting the referee Suraj Thakur to call the fight as TKO in favour of Sandeep Kumar
