Meanwhile, nearly 43 Top boxers from across the country are here to take part in the Test event and trials for boxing.<\/p>\n<p>Emerging Junior World Champion Nikhat Zareen (51kg), who won the gold medal in fly weight division at the inaugural edition of the AIBA Women&rsquo;s Junior World Boxing Championship in 2011, has now moved into the Elite category and fights in the bantam weight division.<\/p>\n<p>She quickly gathered good momentum and went on to dominate the entire bout. She made her place in the round of four by virtue of a unanimous decision in the end. <\/p>\n<p>In the semi-finals the Nikhat Zareen is slated to go up against MC Mary Kom 5 Time world Champion of All India Police.<\/p>\n<p>Mary Kom displayed great precision and timing; her cracking straight jabs that sprung out from an indestructible defence were very hard for the Nikhat Zareen (Telagana ) to counter. Mary waited for the right moments and kept nicking points to gain the advantage. She claimed her final spot with a unanimous decision from the judges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Bout<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>51 kg : Sarjubala ( RSPB ) Youth World Champion VS MC Mary Kom (AIP)<br \/>60kg : Soniya (Rspb) VS L Sarita Devi (AIP) (WORLD CHAMPION)<br \/>75 kg : Aruna Mishra (AIP) WORLD POLICE GAMES GOLD MEDALIST VS Pooja Rani (HAR)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-25276\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/South-Asian-Games-2015-Test-Event-Boxing-Day-3.jpg\" alt=\"South Asian Games 2015 Test Event Boxing Day 3\" width=\"260\" height=\"160\" style=\"margin: 4px; float: left;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/South-Asian-Games-2015-Test-Event-Boxing-Day-3.jpg 260w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/South-Asian-Games-2015-Test-Event-Boxing-Day-3-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/>SHILLONG: Test event and trials for the upcoming 12th South Asian Games which begin at the NEHU, SAI Special Area Games here on Tuesday.
