Fantastic effort by Yash Kumar and Yasser! 5-0 wins against strong opponents from UAE and Iran shows our young boxers are technically superior. But we need to work on closing out close matches - 2-3 losses in some bouts could have gone either way.

Really impressive from the Indian contingent! Three first-round stoppages shows the power in our punches. But I'm a bit worried about the number of losses to Uzbek boxers - they seem to have our number in some categories. Need to analyze their style.

This is great news from Uzbekistan! 🇮🇳 Our U-15 boys are truly making India proud. Mohd Yasser in particular looks like a future star. Only wish the government would invest more in grassroots boxing - imagine what these kids could do with better facilities!

Six finals is brilliant! But let's not forget the seven bronze medalists too - they fought hard and earned their place. Need to support all our young boxers equally. The future of Indian boxing looks bright with talents like Samir Bohra and Sudarsan Chandak. Well done, boys! 🥊

Good performance overall but we need to look at the pattern - too many losses to Uzbek and Kazakh boxers. They train in colder climates and have different punching techniques. Our coaches should prepare the boys better for Central Asian opponents. Still, proud of all 13 medal winners!
