What's the story

Defending champion Amit Panghal (52kg) and the redoubtable Vikas Krishan (69kg) were among three Indian boxers who advanced to the semifinals on Wednesday as the country assured itself of an unparalleled medal haul of 15 in the Asian Boxing Championships.

Debutant Varinder Singh (60kg) was the other Indian to make the last four.

Here's more.

Performance

India surpassed its 13-medal haul of 2019

Panghal secured a second successive medal after overcoming a stiff challenge from Mongolia's Kharkhuu Enkhmandakh in the last-eight stage, while Singh defeated Filipino Jere Samuel Dela Cruz 5-0.

Krishan then pulled off a hard-fought 4-1 triumph over Iran's Moslem Maghsoudi Mal Amir as India surpassed its previous best medal haul of 13 that was achieved in the 2019 edition.

Technique

Panghal won 3-2 in a high-octane contest

Panghal, who is bound for Tokyo Olympics, won 3-2 in a high-octane contest in which he overcame a sluggish start and used his combination punches to telling effect in the last two rounds.

After being somewhat bested in the opening, the top-seeded Army man's trademark pace came to the fore in the second round as he cleverly dodged his rival's aggressive attempts at connecting.

Details

Panghal will square off against Kazakhstan's Saken Bibossinov

The Mongolian produced some fine body punches to unsettle Panghal but took quite a few hits on the counter-attack.

Panghal will square off against Kazakhstan's Saken Bibossinov. He had beaten Bibossinov in the 2019 world championship finals.

Krishan, also Tokyo-bound, played his usual defensive game but was pushed quite hard by Amir, who gave the Indian a cut above his left eye.

National champion Singh scored on counter-attacks against the swift-moving Dela Cruz to secure a medal on debut at the event.
