"Feeling Is Killing Me...": Boxer Nishant Dev Fumes Over Controversial Paris Olympics 2024 Loss
Indian boxer Nishant Dev expressed his disappointment after losing the men's 71kg quarterfinal match in the Paris Olympics against Mexico's Marco Verde Alvarez 1-4 despite fighting strongly throughout the clash. Nishant's debut Olympic campaign ended on Sunday after judges declared the Mexican as the winner. The Indian boxer performed better than his opponent in the first two rounds while the last round was evenly contested. The 23-year-old World Championship bronze medallist, who had previously defeated Alvarez in the 2021 World Championships, dominated the opening round and appeared in complete control during the second round, delivering a series of powerful jab hooks on the Mexican. However, the judges surprisingly awarded the second round to Alvarez, putting him ahead 3-2 in the tie.
