Rising woman pugilist Jamuna Boro took merely over a minute to book a pre-quarterfinal berth as Indian boxers continued their fine performance in the World Youth Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria on Wednesday.Boro won against Lesotho's Ntsike Mofalali in a Technical Knockout in her opening featherweight 57kg bout.The Indian forced two knockdowns within two minutes of the bout's start which Mofalali could not withstand.In fact, the boxer from Lesotho collapsed in the ring when counting was on following the second knockdown after a ferocious display by Boro.Boro will now be up against the winner of the clash between Ukraine's Anhelina Bondarenko and Azerbaijan's Maryam Jabrayilova.The men have also been performing well in the event, which has for the first time, combined the competition for both the genders.Late last night, Sandeep Kumar (60kg) defeated Latvia's Ralfs Ausmanis 3-0 in a clinical performance. He will now square off against Czech Republic's Lukas Dekys.
