Indian boxers continued to produce commanding performances and four of them advanced to the quarterfinals on the second day of the Asian Youth Championships here. Sudeep Kumar (52kg), Ankit Kumar (60kg), Naveen Boora (69kg) and Mohammed Etash Khan (56kg) won their respective opening bouts to enter the last-eight stage. The Indian was expected to win and he did so without any trouble, fetching a unanimous verdict in his favour. The experienced Etash, who has competed in the World Youth Championships as well, sailed past Mongolia's Tsagaanbaatar Munkhbaatar in his first round contest. India had won four medals -- three silver and a bronze -- in the previous edition of the tournament.
