Asian Women's Boxing Championships: Sonia Lather, Neeraj Kumari storm into quarter-finals, Pooja Rani exits

Ho Chi Minh City: World Championship silver-medallist Sonia Lather and debutant Neeraj Kumari advanced to the quarterfinals on a mixed day for India at the Asian Boxing Championships on Friday. Lather (57kg), who is a former silver-medallist at this event, and Neeraj Kumari (51kg) won their respective opening-round bouts to make the last-eight stage. However, Pooja Rani (81kg) made a first-round exit. [caption id=“attachment_3976167” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]Representational image. Getty images Representational image. Getty images[/caption] First up for India was Neeraj Kumari, the Nation’s Cup gold-medallist who was making her debut at the continental meet. The Haryana-boxer dominated her opponent from Myanmar, Nally Nally, making good use of her height and reach advantage. The Indian back-paddled effectively, forcing Nally to drop her guard and lunge forward, a tactic which worked more for Neeraj Kumari. It also helped that Nally’s attempts at connecting punches were at best feeble and were thwarted quite easily by the reigning national champion. Neeraj Kumari will be up against Korea’s Pang Chol Mi in the quarterfinals. Lather was the next woman in for the country and pulled off an aggressive triumph over Japan’s Kurogi Kana. Kana also sustained a cut above the eye in the second round which made her all the more defensive, making it a shade more easy for Lather to dominate the bout. Lather will be squaring off against China’s Yin Junhua in the quarterfinals on Saturday. However, there was disappointment as well with Asian Games bronze-medallist Pooja Rani bowing out with an opening- round loss. Rani lost to China’s Yang Xiaoli in a unanimous verdict.
