Singh,
who stepped in when compatriot Tannu Devi pulled
out due to injury, stopped Pakistan´s previously
undefeated favourite Aliya Soomro in round six,
after dominating every round enroute the biggest
win of her career.
Soomro
(20),
a pro only since this past May, was being
fast-tracked, but found herself in deep water
and could not cope with the longer reach of the
much taller Singh.
Singh landed
at will, while Soomro struggled to find a way,
and in round six Singh upped the tempo and
forced the stoppage when referee
Wanchai
Pongsri felt she had absorbed enough punishment.

The new UBO
Youth champion took her record to
10-2
(5),
and could easily find herself in a challenge for
the “adult” world title sooner rather than later.
It is back to
the drawing-board for Soomro, who sees her record
dip to 3-1 (2). She will hopefully have learned
from the experience, and can come back strong.
The fight was
promoted by TL Boxing Promotions.
