BOUT 1 NIKHIL RAJ VS PANKAJ KUMAR
Both Fighters were making their Professional Boxing Debuts. .
Nikhil Raj from Kerala started the fight aggressively, Pankaj looked more composed. Nikhil looked to lead with a lot of Straight Left Jabs and combine it with right hooks. Pankaj floored Nikhil on 2 occasions in the 1st Round itself with powerful right hooks. By Round 2 Nikhil was visibly tired and Pankaj was able to get clean headshots with Left and Right hooks on more than a few occasions. With 30 seconds to go in the 3rd Round, Pankaj went on a rampage with a barrage of punches to Nikhil’s head. A powerful right hook was the final blow that floored Nikhil. He looked dazed and sat with his back to the corner. Referee Rahul Sharma rightly closed the fight and gave the decision in favour of Pankaj with a TKO.
BOUT 2 HARSH GILL VS ARUN SHARMA
The 2nd fight of the evening was in the Cruiser Weight division. 18 year old Harsh Gill was coming into this fight with an undefeated record of 3 Wins and no losses, while his opponent 20 year old Arun Sharma was making his debut in the Pro Circuit.
Harsh Gill looked like a powerful hitter and Arun did very little to fight back, spending most of the fight on the ropes or defending himself. Harsh was able to land a lot of telling blows on Arun Sharma throughout the fight . By the 3rd round Harsh was simply fighting with an open stance looking for openings for right hooks and headshots. Every combination thrown by Harsh felt like the fight was going to end with the next blow. In all fairness, It was a wonder to see Arun having lasted the 4 Rounds. Arun ended up with bloodied nose by the time the mandatory 4 rounds were over. The fight went the distance and all 3 Judges gave a Unanimous Decision in favour of Harsh Gill.
BOUT 3 SAGAR NARWAT VS MANISH HARODE
The Main fight of the evening was an 8 round Super Welter weight contest between 26 year old Sagar Narwat and 21 year old Manish Harode.
Based on their previous records, Sagar Narwat who was going for his 12th win of his Pro career was expected to have an easy outing against Harode who was coming into the fight with back to back losses.
Both Boxers started the fight slowly, but Harode was always aware of Sagar’s power hitting and how he gets into his groove as the rounds go on. A lot of the early rounds in the fight looked like a sparring session for Narwat, who was simply using the rounds to start moving well and land a few combinations. But these were really hard punches that Harode was taking and other than a few short counters, he really had no answer to the superior technique and skill that Narwat possessed.
Early in the 4th Round, Harode took a heavy right on his chin and went down trying to alert the referee of a low blow. The referee Manoj Panwar rightly gave the Knockdown Mandatory 8 count. Harode should have known that in Professional Boxing there are no low blows as both boxers wear protective abdomen guards unlike Amateur Boxing.
The fight carried on in much the same fashion over the course of the next 4 rounds. The Judges were unanimous in their decision and declared Sagar Narwat the winner at the end of 8 rounds.
BOUT 4 CHANDNI MEHRA VS GEETA SOLANKI
