Paris Olympics: I Want IOC To Look Into Such (unfair) Decisions And Make Improvement, Says Boxer Nishant Dev
Paris Olympic Games: Indian boxer Nishant Dev expressed his disappointment after losing the men's 71kg quarterfinal match in the Paris Olympics against Mexico's Marco Verde Alvarez 1-4 despite fighting strongly throughout the clash. Nishant's debut Olympic campaign ended on Sunday after judges declared the Mexican winner. The Indian boxer performed better than his opponent in the first two rounds while the last round was evenly contested.
The 23-year-old World Championship bronze medallist, who had previously defeated Alvarez in the 2021 World Championships, dominated the opening round and appeared in complete control during the second round, delivering a series of powerful jab hooks on the Mexican. However, the judges surprisingly awarded the second round to Alvarez, putting him ahead 3-2 in the tie.
In the final round, Alvarez started aggressively, landing a combination of punches. The Indian managed to duck and evade some of them but appeared exhausted as the bout progressed. Despite his attempts to throw punches, Nishant was slow, allowing Alvarez to capitalise and secure the win.
