| WORLD
YOUTH CHAMPION VIKAS KRISHAN TAMED BY
PETRAUSKAS EVALDAS OF LITHUANIA IN SEMIFINALS
OF YOUTH OLYMPIC BOXING AT SINGAPORE
|
| World
Youth Boxing Champion Vikas Krishan
was tamed by his Lithuanian opponent
Petrauskas Evaldas by a narrow margin
of 4:3 points in the semifinals of the
60 kgs (Light Weight category) of the
1st Youth Olympic Games Boxing at Singapore.
In the World Youth Championships at
Baku, Vikas had defeated the Lithuanian
by the same identical margin of 4:3
pts to clinch the Gold. This time Petrauskas
got his revenge and edged out Vikas.
Vikas Krishan now has to play against
Echeverria Daniel of Mexico on 24 August,
who was the other losing semifinalist
in 60 kgs. The winner will get the Bronze
Medal (Third Place) and the loser will
be awarded the 4th place. Shiva Thapa’s
opponent in the finals of the 54 kgs
on 25 August has been identified as
Ramirez Robeisy Eloy of Cuba who defeated
Michelus Dawid of Poland in the other
semifinals of today. Incidentally Shiva
Thapa had lost to the Cuban Boxer at
the Youth World Championships at Baku
and had to settle for the Silver Medal
there. Now is an opportunity to take
revenge of that earlier defeat and try
and win the Gold Medal for India. |

| Vikas,
Shiva reach finals of World Youth Boxing
Championship |
| Indian
boxers Shiva Thapa (54kg) and Vikas
Krishan (60kg) continued their rampaging
form and assured themselves of at least
a silver medal each by storming into
the finals of the World Youth Boxing
Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan.??Asian
Youth champion Vikas pummelled Germany's
Thomas Vahrenholt 8-0, while Shiva was
equally dominating in his 11-3 triumph
over Alexandru Marin of Romania.?”Both
boxers displayed brilliant skills and
presented right mix of caution and aggression
to beat their fancied opponents,” says
coach G Manoharan about the victories.
Shiva will now be up against Cuba's
Robeisy Ramirez Carrazana, who beat
off stiff competition from Poland's
Dawid Micheles to win 11-7.??Vikas,
on the other hand, faces Lithuania's
Evaldas Petrauskas, who was leading
8-1 against Australia's Brett Mather
before the referee stopped the contest
in his favour.?? Both the boxers have
already qualified for Youth Olympics,
and if they manage to win in tomorrow’s
finals, then they would have a great
advantage over the opponents when they
meet in the mega event. |
