Panaji, March 19 (Ians) Neeraj Goyat showed his class by scoring a knockout win against Haryana teammate Sandeep Kumar to win the welterweight professional bout at the makeshift boxing arena on the rooftop deck of the Majestic Pride Casino here on Friday.
In the four rounds, 29-year-old Goyat took time to settle down in the ring and floored his rival in the fourth and final round.
Goyat was so confident of his win that he did not even go through his routine morning fitness drills. "Since last one year there was no competition due to the pandemic. So, I just wanted to participate even though it was an easy win for me," he said.
Barring an odd one, all the undercard bouts were a one-sided affair.
In the cruiserweight, Dharmender Grewal was declared a unanimous winner against Ashish Ahlawat. The bout was reduced to four rounds from six as the organisers...

Goa, March 18 (Ians) Boxing isn't popular in Goa where football is the passion. There are only three boxing rings in the region, says local boxing coach Chitambaram Naik. But that perception could change following the big buzz about Friday's super middleweight professional bout between India's star boxer Vijender Singh and Artysh Lopson from Russia.
On his comeback fight after a gap of over 15 months due to the Covid-19 pandemic, India's 35-year-old poster boy from Haryana says he believes in action more than words.
"It's not good to pat your own back. I would like my fists to do the talking on Friday," Singh told Ians after his official weigh-in on Thursday.
For the record, this will be Singh's 13th bout on the pro circuit while it will be Lopsan's sixth bout. Singh's last bout was in Dubai in November 2019. He defeated Ghana's Charles Adamu.

Guwahati, Feb 10 (Ians) Abhin Bhaskar Devadiga of Karnataka and Ancy Sojan of Kerala turned in smart running on the bend to claim the under-20 men and women's 200m crowns respectively on the final day of the 36th National Junior Athletics Championships at the Sarusajai Stadium here on Wednesday.
While Abhin Devadiga, a student from Udupi district, added the gold in 21.34 seconds to the title he won a fortnight ago in the Federation Cup Junior under-20 Athletics Championships in Bhopal, Thrissur district's Ancy Sojan denied Delhi runner Taranjeet Kaur the joy of completing the sprint double the second time in as many meets with a victory 24.51 seconds.
A lot of attention was focused on Tamil Nadu triple jumper Praveen Chithravel. He won by a comfortable margin by scripting the four best efforts at the pit today but he was a good 19cm short of the 16.01m mark that he managed a fortnight ago.
