New Delhi: NE Rhinos beat Odisha Warriors 4-3 in the ninth match of the Big Bout Indian Boxing League (IBL) at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium Complex here Thursday.

Playing without Nikhat Zareen, they dropped the women’s 51kg point but were presented a bonus by Jasurbek Latipov’s disqualification.

NE Rhinos were keen to move to third spot behind Gujarat Giants (14 points from three matches) and Punjab Panthers (12 from three) but their inability to win the final two bouts saw them in the fourth place (11 from three) behind Odisha Warriors (13 from four).

NE Rhinos received an unexpected thrust when Latipov was disqualified for a low blow that felled a fading Laldin Mawia in the second bout of the evening. The Uzbek southpaw did well for a good part of two rounds, but eager to secure a knockout, he hit the young Indian below the belt and floored him.

It did not take much for the judges to agree with the referee in disqualifying the 28-year-old Olympian for the error in judgement caused by a rush of blood.

It doubled the lead that the Rhinos had opened up through a Pwilao Basmuatary victory over Sandhya Rani. She secured a 4-1 verdict in the women’s 60kg bout and set NE Rhinos on the way to securing a crucial victory.

Odisha Warriors’ ploy of fielding World Police Games gold medallist Sandhya Rani in place of Priyanka Chaudhary did not have the desired impact as NE Rhinos were reinforced by the presence of Pwilao Basumatary, fresh from her conquest of the 64kg crown in the National Championship in Kannur.

A classic contest between Mandeep Jangra and Jakhangir Rakhmonov in the 69kg bout erased memories of Lapitov’s indiscretion. After a tense wait for the judges to compile their verdict and declare him winners, Mandeep Jangra whooped in delight as he joined Amit Pangal (Gujarat Giants), MC Mary Kom (Punjab Panthers) and Simranjit Kaur (Benglauru Brawlers) as the only boxers with three wins in as many starts.

Another close contest followed, with Shiksha securing a narrow win against Meenakshi to delay Rhinos’ victory. The women’s 51kg bout, featuring pugilists making their respective IBL debuts, saw neither boxer conceding ground and trading punches tirelessly. It was a veritable feast for boxing fans before Shiksha was declared winner in a split verdict.

Yet, with the strapping Argentine Francisco Veron using his longer reach and superior skills against Pramod Kumar to good effect in the 75kg bout, it was a matter of time before NE Rhinos assured themselves of victory in the match. Yet, they needed to add the remaining two points to be able to take the third place on the table on their own.

Like Meenakshi before him, Satender Singh made a winning debut for Odisha Warriors, moving deftly and showing greater ringcraft than Virender to post a victory.

Mohammed Ibrahim showed that his younger brother Mohammed Etash Khan was still work in progress in the 57kg bout and helped Warriors remain in third place, though with just one more match left.
