Paris Olympics: Nishant Dev Loses Out On Medal To Mexico’s Marco Verde By Judges' Decision
Jose Gabriel Tenorio Rodriguez: Nishant Dev was eliminated by Marco Verde by judges' decision 1-4 in favour of the Mexican in the quarterfinals of the Men’s 71 kg bout in the boxing competition of the 33rd Olympic Games here on Saturday (local time).
A win would have secured a medal for India as two bronze medals are awarded to both the losing semifinalists in Olympics boxing. With Nishant’s loss, Vijender Singh (2008 Beijing) remains the only Indian male boxer to win a medal at the Summer Games.
The bout started on a fiery note with Alvarez coming swinging out of the blocks and Nishant on the defensive for most of the opening round but strategic body blows gave Nishant the 4-1 advantage in the first round.
