Vijender Singh in the Semi's and ensured a Medal
Boxer Vijender Kumar assured himself of at least a bronze to give the country a record three medals for the first time ever. Vijender brought more cheers for the contingent by beating Ecuador's Carlos Gongora in the quarter finals of the 75 kg category with a 9-4 verdict. Vijender made the difference with his left-hand jabs and crucial uppercuts to which Carlos had no answer. With the score reading 7-2 in favour of Vijender after the penultimate round, the Ecuadorean needed to go all out in the fourth and final round. He did manage to close the gap but Vijender's evading tactics and excellent footwork won him the bout. We Wish him Luck to win a Gold, but are proud of him for making it this far assuring himself and the country at least a bronze!
