After Nishant Dev’s defeat, international boxer Vijender Singh has written a post on social media and questioned the decision of the judges.

Lead in the first two rounds
Pawan told that Nishant Dev won the first two rounds. Nishant was confident of winning the third round as well. Not just him, we were also confident that we had won the match. But the decision given by the judges after that was quite shocking. In which Nishant had to face defeat by 1-4.
The third round was a close one
Pawan said that overall the third round was a close one and the scoring proved that not a single judge gave all three rounds to any boxer. The German judge who gave the first round to Verde had given the decision in India’s favour in the second round.
Pawan said that in amateur boxing, most of the scoring punches are done from close range and on the body, during this some of Nishant’s hooks or crosses hit Mexico’s Marco Verde’s face. Some hit the gloves, but those scoring punches were not given by the judges. Nishant Dev’s father said that the time to object to the match is 30 minutes. But now the time is over. Now we cannot even make any appeal. Now Nishant will work hard again and bring more medals for the country.
