600 boxers! That's a massive turnout. The depth of talent in India is incredible. But BFI needs to ensure these events get proper TV coverage or streaming. It's hard to follow the action live.

While the wins are dominant, I hope the judging is fair and transparent. We've had controversies in the past. The focus should be on clean sport and true merit. That said, kudos to all the athletes for their hard work.
