CG Boxing: Sri Lanka’s Dissnayake lose flyweight bout [October 05 2010]

Judex Bazile of Mauritius beat Samarasekera Dissanayake of Sri Lanka on points 9-2 in their men’s flyweight 52kg first round bout of the Commonwealth Games boxing competition worked off in New Delhi last night.

It was a convincing win for Bazile who ended the encounter with the Lankan lad with a smart left hook. Sri Lanka coach Jolio Sanlana said Dissanayake took “a very defensive approach” and that led to his downfall. He added that Dissanakaye has to work on his aggression and technique if he is to excel in future.

Bazile said it was good to start with a win. “We’ll go step by step and nothing else.” he said.
