Manisha, who won a bronze medal in the Asian championship, had to settle for a silver medal as she lost her final match to Liudmila Vorontsova [a world boxing championship silver medalist ].

PL Prasad also lost his final game to Kazakhstan’s Makhmud Sabyrkhan in a unanimous decision. Sachin settled for a bronze medal in the 57kg category.  The Indian Pugilist gave their all but failed to make it to final in their respective categories.
