Vijender stands tall in defeat

A defeat always brings along a sense of disappointment, but Vijender Kuamr (seen here) had no reason to feel so despite losing to Cuban Emilio Correa Bayeaux Jr. in the Middleweight (75 kg) semi-finals on Friday.

`Sorry, sir, I lost the fight. I thought I could win, but maybe I made a mistake by being defensive at the start and it cost me,` said a dejected Vijender who went down 5-8 to Emilio.
