DARK SECRETS: Hussamuddin goes down to gallagher - The Real Truth

World championships bronze medallist Mohammad Hussamuddin lost 0-4 to Commonwealth Games champion Jude Gallagher of Ireland in a round-of-32 bout in the first World Olympic boxing qualifier late on Friday.

Hussamuddin, who made a comeback to competitive boxing after knee surgery, got a first round bye but had to taste defeat to a superior opponent. Gallagher won the three rounds 5-0, 3-2 and 4-1 to move into the round-of-16.

The Indian, who conceded a point due to a warning, was the eighth out of nine from the country to be shown the exit door.
