Sanjeet, Varinder Off To A Flying Start At 7th Elite Men’s National Boxing
Sanjeet who is representing SSCB was up against Karnataka’s Jagadheeshwaran J used his experience to write off his opponent in the first round itself. His aggressive approach and hard hitting punches was too difficult to handle for Jagadheeshwaran which ended the bout in a referee stopping the contest win in round one. Sanjeet will take on Chandigarh’s Sawan Gill in a round of 16 clash on Tuesday.
Varinder who is playing for RSPB (Railway Sports Promotion Board) started the bout cautiously against Amlesh Kumar of Bihar testing his opponent in the initial minute before launching some counter attacking punches to end the first round. High in confidence from his first two round exploits Varinder secured a comfortable 5-0 win. Varinder will now face Maharashtra's Vishal Nupe in round of 32 clash on Sunday.
