The hosts Andhra Pradesh had mixed fortunes while Railways and Services boxers were cruising along to clinch overall top honours.

National Games gold medalist in light fly H Srinivasa Rao was too hot to handle and he made his quarterfinal bout, against former national champion Bhim Singh of All India Police, look like a first round fight. Srinivas will meet S Suresh Singh of CISF inthe semifinals.

In the lone bout that was decided by manual scoring, as there was a technical snag in the computer, Bengal's Md Ali Qamar pipped AP's Nooka Raju on points 5-0. The vociferous crowd support could not spur Nooka Raju to rise to Qamar's supremacy.

In feather weight, internationals Bhaskaran Venkateshan of Railways Sports Promotion Board (RSPB) and Ramanand of Services Sports Control Board(SSCB) set semifinal clash punching out their respective rivals.
