The 21-year-old Akash Kumar prevailed 5-0 with a fabulous performance which was a perfect mix of powerful punching and great showmanship. He was the only Indian left in the fray after four others bowed out with quarterfinal losses. The fearless youngster scored on counter-attacks with a non-existent guard and taunted his opponent, all this while staying out of his range with terrific pace and footwork.
