That ends the Indian men's boxing campaign. Satish will take heart from the fact that he was the only Indian male boxer to win a bout in the entire Olympics. Moreover, he will also be proud of how he boxed in his final match and will look to build on it in the coming years.
Regardless of the result, Satish has done what he could and what better than to earn the respect of your opponent. Jalolov too stands by and congratulates Satish before he exits the ring.
Satish has had a much improved third round for sure. However, it doesn't seem as though he has done enough convince all the judges.
Satish trying to get near his opponent. Seems to be the only way right now. Jalolov is getting cornered time and again.
Staish has done extremely well here regardless of the number of punches he has received. He isn't giving up anytime soon.
Jalolov and Satsih have slowed down considerably. Jalolov is managing to just jab as of now and they have had a few scrappy movements. Both coaches are urging their players to be more aggressive.
