Returning to the podium after taking bronze in the same category at Hangzhou 2022, Sunil needed barely one round to settle the contest at the Nagoya City Inae Sports Center.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He immediately took control, throwing Roberts over twice in the opening exchanges to collect four points. A further point for passivity soon followed, leaving the Indian with a 5-0 advantage barely 90 seconds into the bout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sunil showed no signs of easing off. He capitalised on another passivity sequence to take his opponent down and stretch the lead to 7-0, leaving Roberts struggling to find an answer to the Indian\u2019s relentless attacks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The end came shortly afterwards. Sunil executed another scoring move to add two more points and reach the nine-point winning margin required for technical superiority, bringing the contest to an emphatic conclusion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
