The 22-year-old Indian used his tall frame and athleticism to stay clear of Malanga\u2019s reach but was quick enough to pounce when his opponent\u2019s guard was down to earn a 5:0 unanimous verdict.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Four of the five judges awarded Jamwal a perfect 30, with all the five judges awarding the first and third rounds to the Indian unanimously. Malanga had to even face a countdown in the first round itself, putting him on the back foot for the rest of the bout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, Hitesh became the first Indian to reach the World Boxing Cup final after defeating French Olympian Makan Traore in the 70kg weight category.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Indian pugilist adopted a cautious approach at the start against Olympian Traore but was always on the lookout for the counterattack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The strategy allowed Hitesh to control the pace of the bout and though he received a penalty in the third and final round, the end result was never in doubt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While Hitesh will take on England\u2019s Odel Kamara, Jamwal will face off against local favourite Yuri Reis in the final. However, Manish Rathore\u2019s campaign in the 55kg category ended at the semifinal stage, as he went down 0:5 to Kazakhstan\u2019s Nursultan Altynbek.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The strategy allowed Hitesh to control the pace of the bout and though he received a penalty in the third and final round, the end result was never in doubt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
