Great to see the wins, but we must also look at the losses. Prachi and Priyansh lost 5-0. The coaches need to analyze these bouts and work on their weaknesses. This exposure is valuable, but we must learn from every fight.

Chandrika beating the USA boxer 5-0 is brilliant! These young athletes are getting such good experience. I hope the Boxing Federation continues to support them with proper training camps and nutrition. Jai Hind!

Mixed day overall. The women were stellar, but the men's results are a bit worrying. Aman Siwach lost by RSC yesterday, Priyansh lost today. Hope they bounce back stronger. The tournament is still on, chalo team!

Radhamani Longjam from Manipur? If yes, then no surprise at the RSC win! That region produces such tough fighters. 🥊 More power to her. Let's get more gold for India!

Good to see India performing well in an international youth tournament. The Futures Cup is a great stepping stone. The focus should be on long-term development, not just this week's wins and losses. Keep going!
