KARACHI: Pakistan sports fans Sunday rejoiced in a bitter boxing win over India in the Commonwealth Games and said it would help them overcome a shock result in field hockey. "Our boxer Haider Ali made us proud and the win over an Indian boxer is a double delight and would soothe the shock in hockey," an overjoyed Ali Akbar Shah, secretary of the Pakistan Amateur Boxing Association, told AFP.

Haider Ali downed India's Som Bahadur Pun in the featherweight category of the games held in Manchester on Saturday. The South Asian nuclear neighbours are at loggerheads over the disputed region of Kashmir and have deployed some one million troops on their common border with threats of war still lingering. "Losing to India under the current scanario would have let our heads down but Haider has made us proud," Shah said.

Pakistan's shocking 7-1 hockey defeat against New Zealand in the semi-finals of the Games on Friday had left sporting fans in mourning. "Winning against India will make Ali a hero and we hope that his fortunes in general and boxing's state in particular will change in the country," Shah said.

Ali was originally not selected for the Games as Pakistan Sports Board had allocated only three spots for boxing but was included a week before the contingent's departure. Before their departure Pakistani boxers had said they would try their best to fetch medals despite the adversity of low income and improper facilities.

People in Ali's hometown of Quetta celebrated the win by distributing sweets. "Ali's win will teach India not to fight with us, we would beat them hard if they do war with us," said a fan Tabassum Aftab. "Our punch is very strong and we would teach India a lesson," added another fan Mohammad Imtiaz. Pakistani boxer Shahid Jan had also beaten Pun when they squared off during King's Cup in Thailand in April this year.

So what was Indian boxer's name, son bahadur
huh. Take that, Haider Ali Punch you vegis.


"It was around 3a.m.
When I saw this bright flash. After that I felt
these long fingers holding me down.
I woke up floating in a jar with tubes sticing out of my sides."
-Zulfi, 22

Just Intrested in knowing how many medals did the Pakistani team win in these games. Thanx.

assalam o allaikum
Pakistan got total 7 medals including 1 Gold, 3 Silvers and Bronze.
