Panghal bettered his silver from the last edition. Despite the height disadvantage, Asian Games gold medallist Panghal was the far better pugilist among the two. But MacDonald upped the ante in the final round despite managing a nasty cut.
Our Boxers have lived up to the expectations of every Indian.
Congratulations to Amit Panghal for bringing laurels to the nation by clinching the Gold medal at the CWG.
