Ukraine’s 15-year-old Oleksandr Malakhov had a great first and second round to beat Iran’s promising young talent, Hiva Naderi at the flyweight (50kg) which was the opening bout of the evening session. Mongolia’s Munkh-Erdene Odbayar, their multiple National Champion, won the second contest of the evening session against Kyrgyzstan’s Daniil Bulavkin who claimed bronze medal in the Children of Asia Games.
Kazakhstan’s southpaw Doszhan Zhumakan joined the junior national team this January and he represented the country in an international event in Serbia this May. The 15-year-old talent was a bit nervous in the first round against Palestine’s Anas Abu Dayyeh therefore he needed to switch into a higher tempo in the second. The Kazakh dominated the second part of the bout and he managed his pathway to the quarter-finals at the flyweight (50kg).
Turkmenistan’s best junior boxer, Begench Kakamyradov moved up two weight categories this year and he was named also among the favourites at the flyweight (50kg). The 16-year-old Turkmen used his reach better than Thailand’s Siwa Chainarong and he had the advantage on the judges’ scorecards after two minutes. The Thai changed his rhythm in time in the beginning of the second round but Kakamyradov produced the better finish to win this fantastic contest.
Jordan’s Saad Al-Hadidi won the first contest at the light bantamweight (52kg), he had the stamina and the technical skills to beat Vietnam’s Nguyen Hai Dang. Tajikistan’s Amirbek Makhramov spent a short time in the ring, he dominated his fight against United Arab Emirates’ Mansour Al-Obeidli and the referee stopped the fast bout in the first round.
India’s Raveen met his neighbour Bangladesh’s Mohamed Ali Hassan Sumon in the next light bantamweight (52kg) contest of the evening session. The Indian landed the better shots in the first round due to his aggressive style of boxing but Sumon guaranteed Bangladesh’s return to the Asian boxing map. Raveen’s right-handed hooks were always dangerous and he had the decisive punches in the third round.
Thailand’s Weeraphat Noksan eliminated a Kazakh boxer at the pinweight (46kg) earlier today and their Thongklam Nattaphumin had the same plan against Bekarys Adilbay at the light bantamweight (52kg). The Thai won the first and second rounds closely but the 16-year-old Kazakh produced a great finish to eliminate Nattaphumin in the toughest contests of the evening session.
Kyrgyzstan’s Umar Madaminov competed in the Heydar Aliyev Junior Cup, the Botvinnik Memorial and the Children of Asia Games before his participation at the ASBC Asian Junior Boxing Championships. The Kyrgyz moved forward in his preliminary battle against Turkmenistan’s Abdyrasul Arslanov and it was effective in the first round. The Turkmen talent had better second round in this meeting but he was not able to turn back this light bantamweight (52kg) contest.
Chinese Taipei’s Su Jia Xian survived the first dangerous attacks which was launched by his Palestinian opponent, Salah Alkhanafsa and he gained back the control seconds by seconds. Su used his longer hands better in the second round and he moved forward more against the exhausting Palestinian in the third to win a bout for Chinese Taipei.
Hong Kong sent a team to Al Ain and this is their first participation in the junior, schoolboys and schoolgirls age groups. Tang Kit Fu lost to Uzbekistan’s Bekhruz Kurbonov at the light bantamweight (52kg) while his teammate, Liem Chit Fung was stopped by Tajikistan’s No.1, Biloldzhon Iksanov at the bantamweight (54kg) but Hong Kong returned to the Asian Championships.
