Suranjoy creates history, wins gold at the President's Cup
NDTV Corresspondent, Friday December 11, 2009, New Delhi

India boxer Suranjoy Singh dumped Nordine Oubaali 8-1 on Friday to win gold at President's Cup.

Suranjoy has created history by becoming the first Indian to win gold at the elite tournament.

His French counterpart had got a walkover in his semifinal bout.

On Thursday, asian champion Suranjoy continued his rampaging form to out-punch Mexico's Baulio Avila and storm into the final of the season-ending boxing tournament.

Earlier, the Indian, who is competing for the Asia One team, beat his rival from the Americas Two team 10-4 in a lopsided bout.

Suranjoy shunned aggression for caution in the opening round and preferred to counter-attack against an aggressive Avila, who is a pan-American Games bronze medallist. The strategy worked well as the Indian took a slender 2-0 lead in the first three minutes.

Last year, Vijender Singh managed Bronze for India.

Nice to see some Indian Sport persons are doing good in other sports than Cricket. Media should promote these heros and corporate should come forward to sponsor them. I am sick of seeing only crickets in advertisements and media news. Hockey and Soccer star should get recognision too.
