Boxing, Men's 80kg Final: Ankush wins Round 1

An intense start. Ankush lands a couple of blows early on and Kim retaliates just about 10s later.

Both want to impose themselves on the other and the result is rapidly flying hands and good ducking. 

Kim now wanting to play on the counter and Ankush is happy to be the one going into his opponent's stance. 

As the clock dips below a minute, Ankush is now looking to stay out of Kim's reach.

The clock winds down and I'll be pleasantly surprised if this is an unanimous decision.

Yes, it isn't. Ankush wins it on 4-1 split.
