The  29-year-old veteran boxer was at her menacing best as she devoured her  opponent Poona, playing for the North Zone. The Manipur boxer never  allowed Poonam a fleeting chance to settle down, she lead throughout the  eight minutes of play, finally claiming the Inter-zonal title with a  whopping score of 35:9.<\/p>\n<p> Following the footsteps of her state comrade, Youth World Champion  Sarjubala Devi capped of a brilliant performance claiming the \u2018Zonal  Crown\u2019 in the light fly weight division. Up against Neetu from Haryana,  the pint sized dynamo blazed through the defence of the Haryana boxer,  who had no answer to the offensive onslaught she had to undergo. <\/p>\n<p> Sarjubala claimed her second title in the domestic circuit, after the  Senior National Championships, with a 35:6 victory on points. The new  teenage sensation of women\u2019s boxing who, till very recently was making  inroads in her opponents defence in the youth division, has seemed to  have adapted in the senior circuit with the same zest and vigour.  Inspired by her idol MC Mary Kom, Sarjubala promises to have a bright  future in the world of women\u2019s boxing. <\/p>\n<p> Former Youth National Champion and 12th Senior Nationals silver  medallist E Memthoi Devi and bronze medallist at senior nationals M  Meena Kumari also of Manipur,\u00a0 displayed brilliant skills in their  respective weight categories to register similar victories and claim the  yellow metal. Fighting against Seema of West Zone, Memthoi started slow  in the first round, but soon gathered pace.\u00a0 In the end the 19-year-old  powered through to the finish line with a 17:6 win on points.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> Meena, who was up against Sarika Kumari from the Central Zone, carried  on the exceptional performance of the Manipur boxers in the tournament.  With the help of some exquisite combinations she hammered her opponent  in another lopsided contest, eventually prevailing with a score 20:5 on  points.\u00a0 Unfortunately four gold medals were not enough for the North  Eastern State to claim top honours, the team had to settle with the  runner\u2019s up trophy. But the performance on display at the final day of  the 3nd Inter-Zonal Senior Championship by these Manipuri girls speaks  volumes for the kind of talent the state is nurturing in the sport of  boxing.<\/p>\n<p> With four gold, one silver and four bronze medals the North Zone team  took top honours in the tournament, while the central zone brought up  the third spot with five silver and two bronze medals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Puducherry: <\/strong>Manipur girls reigned havoc in the rings of the  Anna Thidal Sports Complex at Puducherry in the 3nd Inter-Zonal Senior  Women Boxing Championship with an enthralling display of agility and  aggression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-boxing-boxing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Manipur girls dominate in Inter-Zonal Senior Women Boxing Championship - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
