New Delhi: Amit Panghal, who won a silver medal in the World Boxing Championships, is no longer need an introduction. Panghal created history by winning this medal. Because he has become the first Indian to do so. He was defeated 5–0 by Shakhobidin Joirov of Uzbekistan in the final of the championship. Now about the final fight, Panghal has told that I had scored well in the later rounds, but the impact of the weak performance in the first round overshadowed my later performance.
The star boxer said that he is proud of his achievement, but if I had won the gold medal, I would have been happier. I watched the fight overnight after the finals. The coaches also did not understand the way of scoring. It was a close match, in which the scoreline could also be 3-2. But the score of 5-0 is not perfect at all.
The result of 3-2 should have been in my favor as I had a good attack in the second and third rounds. I lost the first round because I first see the way my opposition is fighting. He said that there must have been some pressure behind declaring the Uzbekistan player as the winner. Panghal has alleged that he is not a loser but has been beaten.
