Our boxers r playing their first international tournament with AIBA new rule of playing without head gear ... Our 2 boxers r seeded and with them another 2 boxers receive first round bye ... Vijender Singh, Sumit and Manpreet having tough draw but that ws expected considering they r not seeded in the draw.

Young Madan Lal lost his first round bout in Flyweight on the points ... He lost very close match as referees decision were opponent's favor by a single point.
