Most of the bouts were one-sided affairs. However, the bout between Anand Kumar and Ashraf Ali in the fly weight category, proved to be exciting.

Anand, who recently won the silver medal in the All India Inter-University meet, dominated the ring and with a flurry of punches gave a harrowing time to his opponent Ashraf.

But Ashraf never gave up and withstood the onslaught in the first two rounds. He, however came up with fine performance in the third round and traded punches with his agile and nippy opponent. But in the fourth round it was Anand all over the ring, who went on to win on points.

Amar Kotal did not have to sweat to score victory over Aashish, who retired in 30 seconds of the first round in the light weight. Surprisingly, Aashish was given bye in the semifinal round.
