Mahi, Palak and 2 other Indians enter final

Mahi Siwach, Palak Zambre and two more Indian junior girls registered sensational victories to enter the finals of the ASBC Asian Youth & Junior Boxing Championships in Amman, Jordan on Tuesday. Vini (50kg) and Yakshika (52kg) were the other two pugilists to make their way into the finals on the seventh day of the competition. Beginning the day’s proceedings for India, Mahi looked solid in her attack during the 46kg semifinal against Jordan’s Sadeen Alramhi. Her powerful punches were enough to unsettle the local boxer as the referee stopped the contest in the third round.

Next in action, Palak was equally dominant during her 48kg semifinal bout as she outpunched Kazakhstan’s Gaukhar Zarden by unanimous margin without breaking a sweat.
