The young pugilist says he has improved but third rounds can be better
He is still a bit angry about that “unfair” loss in the final but Olympic-bound Indian boxer Amit Panghal (52kg) on Wednesday described his silver-winning performance at the Asian Championships as the best of his career. The 25-year-old was the defending champion before he lost to his nemesis, Uzbekistan’s reigning World and Olympic champion Shakhobidin Zoirov, 3-2 in Dubai. A protest, seeking a review of the bout’s second round, was rejected by the jury. “This is by far the best performance by me in the 52kg category. I should have won that final and I was angry when I did not,” said Panghal, the reigning Asian Games champion.More Related News
