MC Mary Kom

Amit Panghal claimed his second consecutive international gold but the celebrated MC Mary Kom had to be content with a silver in the 69th Strandja Memorial boxing tournament for men and women yesterday. Amit (49kg), who fetched top honours at last month's India Open, defeated Morocco's Said Mordaji to fetch the yellow metal. The Haryana boxer, 23, recovered from a sloppy start to out-manuever Mordaji, who was taller and matched the Indian in pace but eventually fell short on accuracy.
