Haryana's Saini too put up a dominating show against another Kuwaiti boxer Yaqoub Saadallah before he was declared the winner with Referee Stopping the Contest (RSC) in the second round of the bout. Ashish (54kg), Anshul (57kg) and Preet Malik (63kg) were the other junior pugilists to emerge victorious in their opening round matches.
