For the past two weeks, Asian boxing champion Suranjoy Singh and Nanao Singh have been busy reading and collecting all data available about AIBA’s new scoring system.
Back from the recent Cuba tour for the Giraldo Cordova Cardin Memorial tournament, the Manipur duo is among the few Indian boxers to actually experience the new system in competition and are busy making necessary adjustments to their playing style ahead of the Asian Boxing Championship in August and the World Boxing Championship in Baku in September, which will also be the qualifiers for Olympics.
“It is a bit tough for us. We landed in Cuba and most of us had no idea about the new system. Most of the boxers we faced were from South American and European nations and they had already played some tournaments under the new system. It took us a couple of bouts to understand the system and we were initially surprised by the high scores,” said former world junior champion Nanao, who lost 22-57 to Kazakhstan’s Anvar Muzaparov.
