After Mandengbam Jadumani Singh assured the country of at least a bronze medal after outclassing Mwale Mwengo in the men\u2019s 55kg quarterfinals in the competitions at the Commonwealth Games 2026, Belwal said the team's strategy has been tailored to ensure leave no room for debatable decisions in close contests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Then they know that India has already improved a lot in boxing. So wherever we have a close contest bout, they think of taking it. Because if it's a one-sided bout, they can't do it. Where it's a close bout, they try to take it away,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked about on the tactical approach employed during the bout, Belwal explained that the coaching staff instructed Jadumani to execute a strict \"score, move, score, move\" strategy to neutralise his Zambian opponent Mwale Mwengo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"When we saw his (Mwale Mwengo) previous bout, he opponent threw a round-continuous punch. So we had planned that we will not stand in front of him. If we stand, he will throw a punch. So score, move, score, move. This was our strategy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
