<p>Indian pugilist Satish Kumar won a bronze in the Super Heavyweight (+91 kg) category to give India its 51st medal on the penultimate day of the 18th Asian Games in Incheon, here today.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Satish was comprehensively outboxed by Kazakhstan giant Ivan Dychko in the semi-finals with a clear 3-0 verdict in all the rounds.<br /><br />Satish was no match for the huge 6ft 9 inch Kazakh, who is a London Olympics bronze medallist as well as a silver medallist at the Guangzhou edition, four years back.<br /><br />The Kazakh, who was at least half a head taller than Satish, who is no mean unit at 6 ft 2 inch, boxed stylishly and used his superior reach to punch from a distance. Satish found it difficult to land his jabs and hooks as Dychko would easily evade his Indian opponent with swift footwork.<br /><br />Dychko used his left jab to the Indian's face to score points in each round and once rocked the Bulandshahar lad with a straight punch followed by a nice right-left combination.<br /><br />"He had a great height advantage and I could not go near him. He is an Olympic Games medalist and I had also lost to him in the last World Championship. My coach thinks I fought better today than in the worlds. I am happy to become the first Asian Games medalist from UP in boxing," said Satish after the bout.<br /><br />Satish's exit on the penultimate day of boxing has left lone Indian Vikas Krishan (75kg) in the fray. Having clinched a bronze medal already, Vikas will be trying to repeat his gold medal feat, he achieved during the Guangzhou edition in 2010.<br /><br />The boxers came here aiming to match or better their fine show in 2010 (2 gold, 3 silver and 4 bronze) but will return home with only five medals. So far we have been got one gold courtesy legendary MC Mary Kom and three bronze medals with Vikas' bout still left.</p>
