Pravish Konthoujam, Menaka Ningthoujam and Sanamacha Thokchom all earned comprehensive victories in their respective matches to advance to the second round of the 5th Elite Women National Boxing Championship at St Joseph's International School in Hisar, Haryana, on Friday.
Pravish Konthoujam was dominant throughout her 60kg bout against Parul Adhikari of Delhi as the state pugilist ended the fight with a 5-0 verdict in her favour.
Menaka Ningthoujam, on the other hand, beat Anet V Rajan of Kerala in their 63kg match when the referee stopped the contest in the second round.
Sanamacha Thokchom too progressed by similar verdict (RSC) against Samika Sasane of Maharashtra in a 75kg bout.
However, it was a disappointing day for Nilam Laishram who lost out to Shretima Thakur of Himachal Pradesh in their 70kg match.
Earlier on Thursday, Sarjubala Shamjetsabam, Ojibala Thounaojam, Baby Rojisana Naorem and Samim Banu Khulakpham made winning starts on the opening day of the championship.
