Very close match ....decision was made in review!

All 4 finalists won!
Would they have won if the championships were being held anywhere else? Really doubt it, especially the split decisions that went our way here.

That may well be the case...but i would take it as we lose medals too often to poor refereeing else where. Fantastic 4 show...couldn't have asked for better!

There is always a bit of home bias in judging even if the judges are from neutral countries.

Excellent performance by Indian male boxers at world Championships in Tashkent as 3 of our boxers are thru to SF and assured of a medal - Deepak Kumar in 51 kg, Hassamuddin in 57 kg and Nishant Dev in 71 kgs.

Deepak beat defending champion from Kazakhstan in second round and Nishant Dev beat a Cuban boxer in QF, probably first time an Indian boxers has beaten a Cuban in world Championships.

Let's how much further they progress

3 Indian boxers confirming medals by moving into Semifinals in IBA World Boxing Championship at Tashkent would have been an over achievement had the US and European block of countries not boycotted the tournament.

All 3 boxers lost their SF's and got bronze medals. Still, it is pretty good performance by our men boxers.
