GOLD STANDARD: BOXER AMIT BACK ON TOP

Those words by the TV commentator during the course of the men’s 51kg final at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Sunday summed up how the Indian was bossing the engaging contest, which had the gold medal on the line.

Amit was doing what Amit does best. With long-range blows (something that he prefers) or medium-range uppercuts, he was finding the gaps at will with his speed and ring intelligence to penetrate his rival’s, England’s Kieran MacDonald, defences. “The last time I saw Amit put up a similar kind of performance was during the Asian Games and World Championships,” former India men’s chief coach CA Kuttappa, who is currently part of the coaching staff in NIS Patiala, told this newspaper.
