Twitter reacts as Nikhat Zareen produces yet another dominating performance to move to quarters

Two-time world champion Nikhat Zareen smoothly advanced to the quarterfinals of the Asian Games boxing competition. In the women’s event’s second round, Nikhat secured a comfortable win over South Korea. Nikhat’s dominant performance was truly a melody to the ears after two setbacks earlier in the day. It also gave a lot of confidence boost to the Indian camp.

However, on the other side, there is bad news as six-time Asian Championship medallist Shiva Thapa crashed out of the tournament. Added to that, the main problem was Thapa couldn’t capitalise on a favourable draw as he was beaten comprehensively by Kyrgyzstan’s Askat Kultaev in the 63.5 kg. The next shock came when Sanjeet (92 kg category) was outfoxed completely by the world championship bronze medallist Lazizbek Mullojonov. Naturally, the hopes of a medal will increase from Zareen.

The match was a thrilling contest as Nikhat Zareen defeated South Korea’s Chorong Bak in the round of 16. Zareen’s performance was such a spectacle that the judges gave a unanimous decision in favour of Nikhat. The fight started with a close contest in the first round. Both the boxers had their moment of advantage in the opening few minutes. However, as the rounds progressed further, Nikhat showcased her skills and strategic brilliance. These are the by-products of her years of hard work and experience at the highest stage. Her aggression in the second round, marked by two right-arm jabs, left an indelible impression. As the third round ended, Nikhat had the better of her opponent. Subsequently, she secured the victory through a unanimous decision. The final scoreline stood at 5-0.
