    Manoj thrashed Mbundwike 5-0 in a unanimous decision. The all four judges gave him 30-27 advantage. Right through the match Manoj played brilliantly, landing a flurry of punches flying from both sides of the ring. Manoj Kumar continued his attack and forced the Tanzanian boxer to defend in the second round. 

    Soon, the furious attacking from the Indian boxer left his opponent short of energy and at the end Mbundwike surrendered the match. Manoj will now face Nickolas Terry of Australia on April 10.
