India's star boxer Sagar Ahlawat went down fighting against English boxer Delicious Orie and settled with a silver medal in the men's 92 kg (super heavyweight) category in the ongoing Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Sagar lost by a unanimous 0-5 verdict against England's Delicious Orie in the men's over 92kg (super heavyweight) category, in what was the final bout of the Games.
Sagar started positively in the first round but Orie completely dominated the next two as the Indian started to tire out.
The Englishman took full advantage of that and landed big punches, hooks and jabs on Sagar, who started to bleed in the last round after getting a cut over his left eye.
The India pugilists will return with seven medals — three gold, one silver and three bronze — from Birmingham, two less than the previous edition.
Meanwhile, Nikhat Zareen added a Commonwealth Games light flyweight (50kg) title to her trophy cabinet while Amit Panghal (51kg) began his redemption journey with a much-needed gold-winning show.
Indian boxers made it three out of three golds on the day as young Nitu Ghanghas (48kg) too reigned supreme on her CWG debut.
