Bhupinder floored by Jeevan

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
PUNE, APRIL 15: The heat is on but it has taken two long days for the country's best boxers to come up with their best. One knock-out and two RSC verdicts, on the third day of the ongoing 48th Senior Inter-Services, suggested the pugilists have finally struck rhythm in the championship.

The six titles today were decided by three RSCs and a walk-over. After the first two duels, in the fly weight and welter weight, went to five rounds, the losing boxers in the bouts that followed appeared content with second position after the referees brought the contests to an end.

In the best bout of the day, the seasoned Jeevan Fernandez (Army Red) took just two rounds to overpower Bhupinder Singh of Army Red, prompting referee Mukund Killekar to draw attention of the judges.

Jeevan got into his act right from the word go, pushing his rival to the ropes with a left-right combination. Bhupinder Singh ran out of defensive ideas and inevitably a right hook sent him to the floor with the bout just 10 seconds old.Bhupinder managed to survive the first count, but came up a cropper five seconds later, warranting referee Killekar to call off the fight.

YMCA bronze madalist G Pepiyar, also of Madras Engineering Group, representing Army Green continued his winning ways, sending Nigam of the Air Force crashing out in very first round of the contest. Nigam survived two counts before he throwing in the towel.

RESULTS (FINALS)
Fly weight: L/nk Ramu Prajuli (Army Red) lost Hav Azaz Alam (Army Red) by points 14-15.
