Glasgow: Hopes were high for Indian boxers on Saturday, with four of them reaching the finals at the Commonwealth Games — but all lost their respective summit clashes to settle for the silver medals at the SSE Hydro here.

L. Sarita Devi, L. Devendro Singh, Mandeep Jangra and Vijender Singh went down in the final bouts to bring home four more silvers as golds remained elusive in the discipline at the Glasgow Games.

Former World Champion Sarita went down to Australia’s Shelley Watts in the women’s 57-60kg final. The Manipuri started her bout well to win the first round 30-27, but looked completely drained of energy at the start of the second.

The 32-year-old veteran also fell down once in the second round, which she lost with a reversed scoreline of 27-30. The next two rounds totally belonged to Shelley, who looked much fresher than her Indian counterpart, to bag them with the same scorelines of 30-27.

Following his state-mate, Devendro also lost his final to defending champion Paddy Barnes of Northern Ireland in the men’s 49kg category.

The two-time Olympic bronze medallist Barnes convincingly won the first two rounds with the same score of 30-27. Though the diminutive Indian won the last round 29-28, it was too late and Barnes was successful in defending his title.

Jangra also had to be content with the silver after being convincingly beaten in the men’s 69kg bout by England’s Scott Fitzgerald.

The Haryana pugilist displayed fantastic spirit and cut open Fitzgerald’s eye in the opening round, but also had to endure some accurate punches and a knock-down in the first round.

In the second round, the Englishman completely outfought Jangra, who suffered two more knock-downs to lose the round 25-30. The 21-year-old Jangra showed good spirit in the final round but Fitzgerald was the better man on the day.

After three losses in the finals, much was expected from Olympic bronze medallist Vijender. But he too disappointed, losing to England’s Anthony Fowler in the men’s 75kg final.

Vijender, who had won the bronze four years ago and silver in 2006 in Melbourne, lost the first two rounds 26-30 and 27-30. He came back strongly in the final round to win 30-27 but also had to suffer a knock-down during the round.

In all, India secured four silvers and a bronze from boxing at the Glasgow Games.
