Suro Krishna continues winning streak in a night of boxing

Bangladesh's champion pro-boxer Suro Krishna Chakma defeated Nepal's Mahendra Bahadur Chand in a super lightweight category fight in the Beximco Xcel Boxing Championship 2.0 Fight Night, held at the InterContinental Hotel in Dhaka on Saturday evening. 

Suro Krishna extended his unbeaten record in pro-boxing to six in the main-event of the evening when he defeated his Nepalese opponent on judges decision in an eight-round fight that went the distance. 

Krishna had the upper hand for most of the fight, knocking his opponent to the ground twice but to Mahendra's credit he beat the referee's 10 count both times and the fight continued.

But in the end, Krishna was just too good for Mahendra.
