Shiva Priya continues her good run

By Our Sports Reporter

KOLLAM, DEC. 29. Unfancied Shiva Priya of Kerala continued her giant killing act in the fifth Senior National women's boxing championship by entering the final in the 63kg weight category at the Kadapakkada Sports Club here on Wednesday.

Shiva Priya outslugged Simpaljit Kaur of Punjab to enter the final. Shiva Priya's footwork may be sluggish but she used her height to good advantage. Simpaljit could not recover from the early barrage of punches unleashed on her by Shiva Priya and the referee stopped the contest in the second round.

However, the day belonged to Manipur as five of its boxers — Merycom, T.S.Jyotimati, Mandakini, L. Saritha and Sandhya Rani — entered the final. Leading the way was world champion M. C. Merycom who moved into the final in the 46kg weight division without breaking a sweat.
