Fight Commentary
A lot of showboating and very little actual action can easily summarise the 4th fight of the night between Shivatma Topno and Joy Ghosh.
Joy Ghosh, who was a former State Amateur champion was undoubtedly faster in his punches and quicker on his feet while Topno looked sluggish and slow to get out of his corner today.
Joy Ghosh, was declared winner on points by Unanimous Decision by the 3 judges.
The final scores at the end 4 rounds were 36-40, 36-40, 36-40 in favour of Joy Ghosh.

Raj Dey – 22 Years, Debut, Trains at Next Level MMA Club in Kolkata. Coached by Shiba Pradhan
Fight Commentary
The 5th fight of the evening was a good contest that the crowd could get behind.
Md Anwar, with his guile and quick movements was able to get the better of the much taller and leaner Raj Dey in this 4 round Super Lightweight contest.
Raj Dey, looked composed and started the bout well with some good close contact boxing in Round 1 and early in Round 2. By the 3rd Round, however, Anwar, had largely started controlling the fight. All 3 Judges scored the 3rd and 4th rounds unanimously in favour of Anwar.
MD Anwar, won by Majority Decision,

Fight Commentary
The 6th fight of the evening was a 4 Round Welterweight contest.
Abhishek Pratap Singh, was more assured in his footwork and threw his punches with some economy of effort. On the other hand, Bir Singh Guiya, was throwing his swings and hooks with gusto and elan despite not many actually landing where he intended them.
By the 4th round Bir Singh Guiya, could barely stand with his guard up let alone throwing punches for offensive action. A knockdown in the dying seconds of the 4th round was enough to seal victory for Abhishek in his first Pro Debut.
All 3 Judges scored the fight 35-40, 35-40,35-40 in favour of the Abhishek Pratap Singh who won by a Unanimous Decision.
