The final line-ups are revealed in Colombo

The last part of the semi-finals were held at the ASBC Asian U22 & Youth Boxing Championships in Colombo, Sri Lanka today where 12 nations secured at least one final spot.

Tajikistan’s Muinkhodzha Muminov is only 19-year-old but he had the strong experience from the past to keep his opponent’s speed in the first semi-final of the day. Kazakhstan’s Tileuberdi Suleimeni moved forward but Muminov had the great footwork to make the bout close in Colombo. Suleimeni had the strong pressure in the second and third rounds to win the opening bout of the ninth competition day in the championship.

Kyrgyzstan’s Zafarbek Kamilov and Tajikistan’s Anushervon Fozylov both were born in 2006 and the two promising bantamweight (54kg) boxers met each other. The Tajik jumped into the best fighting distance several times to catch Kamilov who had also great defensive skills therefore the number of the clear punches were very limited. The final verdict was depended on their performance in the third round when Fazylov looked still enough fresh to win the closest bout of the session.

Saudi Arabia’s Mousa Alhawsaw competed in the ASBC Asian Elite Boxing Championships in Chiang Mai six months ago and he proved strong development since that event in Colombo. The Saudi was competitive against Kazakhstan’s Seraly Zholmaganbet and he fought until the last second with a chance to win this light welterweight (63.5kg). Zholmaganbet won this close semi-final and he can expect a hard final against Kyrgyzstan’s Omar Livaza who had a clear success over Tajikistan’ Ruslan Gafurov.

Kyrgyzstan’s Eldar Turdubayev was energetic and powerful as in all of his previous competitions in the recent years and he did not underestimate Tajikistan’s Murodjon Ashuraliyev at the light middleweight (71kg) semi-final.
