In the semi\u2019s he was up against Taras Shelestyuk of Ukraine.  Taras beat world number 3 and 2009 world championship silver medallist  Andrey Zamkovoy of Russia in the quarters to set up the clash.\u00a0 Both the  boxers started cautiously, waiting for the other to make the move. <\/p>\n<p> The Ukrainian boxer, who seemed to have studied Vikas\u2019s well, brought  all his experience to the fore and did not let the young Indian play his  usual game. With some powerful infighting he took a 4:2 lead in the  first round.\u00a0 Vikas tried hard to get back in the game but could not  break the strong defence of Shelestyuk. The 2010Europen Continental  bronze medallist managed to open up a 4 point gap. 2010 Youth World  Champion came back strongly in the final round with some feisty  combinations; Vikas scored 6 points as opposed to Shelestyuk\u2019s 5, but in  the he end fell short. He lost on points 12:15 and will have to be  content with a bronze medal performance.<\/p>\n<p> The Indian team has shown great talent and potential putting exceptional  performances against world class boxers at the AIBA World Boxing  Championships. The tournament witnessed four Indian boxers make it to  the quarter-final round and qualifying for the 2012 London Games. Vikas  Krishan (69 kg), Jai Bhagwan (60 kg), Manoj Kumar (64 kg) and Devendro  Singh (49kg) all sealed Olympic berths. This will be India\u2019s best  performance in any World Championships or Olympic qualifiers. <\/p>\n<p> At the Chicago world Championships, Antharesh Lakra was the only one to  qualify for Being Olympics.\u00a0 64 boxers have so far qualified from Baku  for London Olympics. Russia and Ukraine have five boxers, while Cuba,  India, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan all have four making it to the  Olympics.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Baku: <\/strong>The Indian Challenge at the 2011 AIBA World  Championships came to an end with Asian Games gold medallist Vikas  Krishan (69kg) suffering a defeat in the semi-finals of the tournament.<\/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":[57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-2011-world-boxing-championships"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Vikas settles for bronze at World C\u2019ships - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
