Five Indian boxers enter semifinals, assured of medal in U19 Asian Championships
Bangkok, Aug 7 (PTI) Five Indian male pugilists joined their seven women compatriots in the semi-finals of the U19 Asian Boxing Championships after registering convincing victories in their respective weight categories here on Thursday. Shivam (55kg), Mausam Suhag (65kg), Rahul Kundu (75kg), Gaurav (85kg) and Hemant Sangwan (90kg) took down their opponents in style to ensure that India will come back with 12 medals from the U19 category. The U19 and U22 Asian Boxing Championships are being held simultaneously. India are also assured of 13 medals in the U22 category with five boxers set to fight for gold. Shivam started India's winning march in the morning session when he dominated Uzbekistan's Abdulaziz Abdunazarov for a 5:0 win. Mausam Suhag was then pushed to the corner but the youngster kept his composure under pressure to eke out a 3:2 win in the 65kg quarterfinals against Mukhammed Alimbekov of Kyrgyzstan. Rahul Kundu then went on a rampage against Eunjo Jeong of South Korea and the referee had to ultimately stop the 75kg contest before Gaurav joined the three in the last-four stage with a hard-fought victory over Kuang-Yao Cheng of Chinese Taipei in the 85kg category. Hemant Sangwan got the better of Muhammadrizo Siddikov of Uzbekistan in the 90kg weight category and raised hopes of a 100 per cent win record on Thursday. However, Krish fell short of pulling off a victory against Iran's Abbas Gharshasbi in a close 90+kg bout.

Among the seven Indians in action on Monday, only Sagar suffered a reversal in the men's 55kg quarterfinal.
