Our boxers showed little improvement in their performance as this time 5 boxers were in the quarter-finals ... But still our boxers (with their coaches) fail to cross next hurdle of going in medal matches ... We need to find workaround and deliver that in near future.

Azerbaijani boxer Javid Chalabiyev out performed higher ranked Shiva Thapa in their quarter final match ... Disappointing end for Shiva Thapa, who had genuine chance of winning the medal.

Frankly I never seen Indian boxer beating Cuban counterpart and same story repeated again ... Yasnier was bronze medalist at London Olympic in lightweight category ... Here he participated in Lightwelter and still scored comfortable win ... After losing the first round easily Manoj Kumar gave decent fight in the second round, which he lost by solitary point ... But Yasnier was too strong in the third for Manoj Kumar.

Satish Kumar sustained cut above right eye in his previous bout against Yan Sudzilouski and today he declared medically unfit for the bout by the doctors ... May be local doctors also favoring local players like these referees.

Vikas Malik gave tough fight in the first round against 4th seed Brazilian but after that in next two rounds Robson was too strong for young Vikas.

Sumit played decent match against WR #1 local boxer Adilbek Niyazymbetov ... Niyazymbetov won the first round comfortably but faced stiff resistant from Sumit in the second ... In the third again Niyazymbetov take control for a win.
