Fighting was once upon a time considered a noble sport. However slowly with time, the art of fighting as a sport, or in other words boxing started to grow flashier and more violent with the boxers emerging with the cigars and tattoos on their faces as a mark of their attitude that was to be feared. By the time, boxers have risen above being the most imposing sportsperson to being behaving almost like thugs.

In what was a great event for Indian women’s boxing, their pugilists M.C. Mary Kom and L. Sarita Devi won Gold in their respective clashes as the team ended up with a haul of two Gold medals, four Silver medals and two Bronze medals at the 6th Asian Women’s Championships that was held in Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia.

Furthermore, the Indian team also bagged the overall runners up trophy, coming just behind China which bagged top honors at the event.
