Kamlesh Kumar prevails over Deepak

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, MARCH 27. Kamlesh Kumar Prasad of the 1st Signal Training Centre recovered from a shaky start to prevail over Deepak of Delhi `B'in two rounds in the flyweight quarterfinals of the Coca-Cola YMCA boxing championship at the Jai Singh Road ring here on Monday.

Kamlesh was trailing 1-4 at the end of the first round, but he not only bounced back in style to take an 8-7 lead by the second round with sharp punches against his onrushing rival, but also inflicted an injury on the Delhi lad which forced the doctor to stop the contest.

In fact, the doctor was kept busy through the evening, as many suffered cuts.

In the sub-junior section, Krishan Kumar of Delhi scored a 16-15 victory over M. Rishikanta Singh of Imphal. The latter did well in the first and third rounds to earn seven and six points against five and four by his opponent, but was overwhelmed in the second round when he managed two points to seven by the Delhi lad, which proved decisive.
