APB/WSB Olympic Qualifying Tournament on Jul 3 - 8 in Vargas, Venezuela.
3 Indians fought for a Rio berth.
They were Bidhuri(52kg), Neeraj(69kg) & Dilbagh(81kg).
Dilbagh and Bidhuri were ousted in their respective 1st round matches while neeraj won his bout to the enter the semis but his opponent got better of him in pre championship bout but still he has a chance to make it to the Rio by fighting it out for the third place......
There were incredibly small player fields in these olympics qualifiers for pro boxers. For instance, in 49 kgs, there were only 7 competitors and 3 got quota. When Devendro was robbed in the last olympic qualifiers there were as many as 30 boxers and only 2 qualifiers. I wish we had more boxers competing here.
Our boxers needed to win 2 bouts to qualify.
