Boxer Sachin one win away from medal, moves to 60kg quarters in Asian Games, Preeti bows out
NISHIO (JAPAN): (Sep 25) India’s Sachin Siwach moved to the men’s 60kg quarterfinals with a scrappy 4-1 win over Jordan’s Mohammad Adnan Abu Jajeh at the Asian Games here on Friday.

However, it was the end of the road for last edition’s bronze medallist Preeti Pawar.

The Commonwealth Games gold medallist, who received a first round bye, went down 0-5 in an unanimous verdict to North Korea’s Paris Olympics medallist and reigning Asian Games champion Pang Chol M in the women’s 54kg round of 16.
