Boxing, men's 75kg: Nishant Dev defeats Gabriel Rodrigues by a 3:2 split decision. It was more convincing from the Indian than the scorecard seems to suggest as he remained dominant with the accuracy. Rodrigues was relentless in the third round but it is not enough. Finally a good day for boxing after the consecutive heartbreaks yesterday.
