In the second round, Vijender used his experience with strong counter punches and by the end of the round took a slender lead of 9:8 points.

The Indian completely dominated the third and the final round and didn't allow the Kazakh to get a single point. Vijender's punches were quick and powerful and Azamat find it tough to reply back.

In the pre-quarters, Vijender will now meet Canada's Rolls Steve who defeated the local favourite Podda Luca of Italy. Vijender will have to use intelligence and controlled aggression as the Canadian looks extremely strong in physique but Vijender will enjoy a height advantage.
