Amit wins and goes into quarters but very unimpressive..... Seemed slow and not in the best physical form

Yeah he was lucky.

Gaurav Solanki loses after a tough fight against top seed Uzbek.

[Dolby 735]

To be frank, I think Gaurav was better today. Amit was extremely lucky to win while Gaurav was unlucky to lose. Being seeded helps whether it is AIBA or not. 

 

Spoiler

That is why, I think it is good that we are sending Mary Kom ahead of Nikhat Zareen.

Also in close bouts, boxers get nod from judges on reputation too. That is how Amit got it today it seems. He meets a Philipino next who is no pushover. Amit will have to be much better than today to prevail.

 

Gaurav Solanki was unlucky in that respect to draw the top seed and loses to him in close bout. Hope he will qualify in the world qualifying tournament.

Boxing is very competitive in asia.There are so many contenders,no bout is going to be esy in Olympics.Being seeded helps in two ways first u get a bye and second reputation always helps in getting judgement in your favour especially in tight bouts,so if any boxer has a chance to be seeded federation should prefer him/her.

Have to disagree … Always the best must be sent …. Because they finally will medal if they are the best …………...

 

For example Kavinder Vs Gaurav ….. I think Gaurav is the better boxer …… great flow and clean lines ……. kavinder is over defensive , over uses the shell guard , will never get past a good boxer 

 

Gaurav may not have got thru Mirazez but he was close and I am sure will get thru at the world qualifier …….. at the Olympics he is a medal prospect but kavinder even if he got thru here will not be a medal prospect

So, these are QF line ups-

Men's Flyweight - Amit Panghal vs. Carlo Palam (PHI) - Amit had won against Palam at last year's world championships 4-1, it can be a close one though with Amit slight favorite

Men's Lightweight- Manish Kaushik vs. Chinzorig Baatrasukh (MGL) - Not much know of Mongolian, Manish should be favorite

Men's Welterweight- Vikash Krishan Yadav vs. Quicy Okazwa (JPN)- Japanese is 2019 Asian championships silver medalist, so it will be a close one.

Men's Middleweight - Ashish Kumar vs. Mikhel Robero Muskita (INA) - Ashish would be favorite

Men's Light Heavyweight- Sachin Kumar vs. Chen Daixing (CHN) - Again not much achievement from Chinese but Sachin is also a newbi, so a close one

Men's Super Heavyweight - Satish Kumar vs. Daivii Otgonbayar (MGL) - Satish would be favoured here

Women's Flyweight - Marykom vs. Magno Irish (PHI)- Mary would be clear favorite here

Women's Featherweight- Sakshi vs. Im Aeji (KOR) - both are new boxers. So, a close one

Women's Lightweight - Simranjeet Kaur vs. Monkhor Namuun (MGL)- Namuun was a QF at WC and bronze medalist at Asian championships while Simran was a silver medalist in higher weight class, so this will be an even bout

Women's Welterweight - Borgohain Lovlina vs. Melieva Maftunakhon (UZB) - Lovlina was WC bronze medalist , so would be favourite here

Women's Middleweight- Pooja Rani vs. Chutee Pornnipa (THA) - Pooja was AC 2019 gold medalist, so favourite here.

So, at least 6 out of 11 bouts we would be favoured, other 5 will be close and few will get a second chance even if they lose in QF. So, expecting about 8 quotas from her for Tokyo olympics. Anything more will be a bonus.

Pooja, Lovlina on womens side and Vikas,Sachin, Ashish and Satish will have their QF today.
