NOVEMBER 30: He won the first round against Rooman Khan of Christ Church on points and little over an hour later defeated Zeeshan Ansari of the Diamond Jubilee, Mazgaon school.

Among the fighters to impress were Vikram Gohil of St. Sebastian and Jaydeep Kadam of Shailendra Education.

Both fought each other in the Under-16 age and under-45 kg category. Gohil, a southpaw, had the reach and a deadly left-straight with which he repeatedly hurt his opponent. Both the boxers had decent footwork with his opponent, Jaydeep Kadam, better movement. But Kadam had virtually no attack and left to defend almost through the bout. He picked up steam in their third round but having received a standing count in the first round, the verdict predictably went to Gohil.

Chirag, who entered the final of his category, will meet Aftab Ahmed of Christ Church. Aftab showed quick movement and looked keen to fight in his bout against Steven D’Souza. Steven received a cut above his upper lip but continued to fight bravely and lasted the distance. Of course, Afteb won the bout.
