Can't get over Amit Panghal's win over light flyweight legend Hasanboy Dusmatov๐ช Such brilliant tactics by Amit. Kept his distance to neutralise Dusmatov's in & out then used his reach to breach Dusmatov's defence. Gold medal+biggest career victory#AmitPanghal @BFI_official

What a life-changing day for this young boxer. Best bit about multi-discipline events? You are still reeling from a heartbreak (hockey, in this case) & then something like this happens. India will end #AsianGames2018 just as they started - with a gold, or even two. Over to squash

The bout of his career so far. Amit Panghal beats reigning Olympic champion, World Championship silver medalist and easily the best boxer in his class Hasanboy Dusmatov of Uzbekistan to win the Asian Games gold medal in men's light flyweight #boxing #AsianGames2018

This has to be a really really special Gold. More than anything else, Indian boxing needed it to move forward.

What a class display against Olympic champion. Amit lost to same Hasanboy in world QF last year. Got silver at CWG. And now this big one. Turning out to be some boxer!
