Boxer Nishant outclasses Otgonbaatar in two mins; Siwach registers 5-0 win

Nishant Dev

India's Nishant Dev outpunched his Mongolian opponent in just over two minutes to progress to the 71kg pre-quarterfinals before Sachin Siwach registered a convincing win in the 57kg weight category of the second Boxing World Olympic Qualifiers here on Tuesday.

Dev began with a flurry of punches against Mongolia's Otgonbaatar Byamba-Erdeneto force a standing count in the very first minute. A combination of a jab and cross hook led to another standing count and the Referee Stopped the Contest (RSC) with 58 seconds still left to play in Round 1.

Later, Siwach began in similar fashion, looking to land as many punches on Frederik Jensen of Denmark, and grabbed the win with a 5-0 verdict.
