New Delhi October12:
Olympic bronze-medallist Vijender Singh (75kg) crashed out due to a couple of controversial warnings in his semifinals, prompting an angry Indian team to lodge a protest, even as Suranjoy Singh (52kg) and Manoj Kumar (64kg) made their way to the finals with contrasting wins in the Commonwealth Games' boxing competition here.
Although India is set for its best-ever medal haul of seven, the colour of the metal yet to be decided, it was a throughly disappointing day for the nation's boxers as they found themselves at the receiving end of some harsh refereeing -- the most stunning being Vijender's 3-4 loss to England's 22-year-old former cadet champion Anthony Ogogo.
The Indian team has filed a protest against the refereeing. "We have a filed protest. A jury will now sit after the last bout of the day and they will review the bout.
