Indian boxers Sachin Siwach (57kg) and Narender Berwal (+92kg) produced dominating shows to sail into the pre-quarter finals and quarter finals respectively at the Asian Games here on Tuesday.
Sachin notched up a 5-0 win over Indonesia’s Asri Udin, while Narender knocked out Elchoro Uulu Oomatbek of Kyrgyzstan in Round 1 itself.
Sachin managed to dominate the match from the beginning wading off a flurry of attacks from the Indonesian with ease using his flashy footwork.
The 23-year-old successfully used his long reach to connect accurate jabs and hooks. As the clock ticked, the 2021 World Youth Championship grew in confidence to earn a facile win. He will face Turki Abuquthailah of Kuwait in the Round of 16.
Later in the day, Narender recorded a dominating win over Elchoro in his pre-quarter final bout to set up a clash against Iran’s Ramezanpour Delavar.
On Wednesday, Sanjeet will be competing against Lazizbek Mullojonov of Uzbekistan while Shiva Thapa is also scheduled for his Round of 16 fight.
