A KNOCKDOWN in the fourth round proved the turning point in the welterweight tussle between Muhammad Ali Zahid and Inder Bassi in this Black Flash Promotions main event at Bowlers.
During a frenetic start, it was Bassi (15-3, 1 KO, 147lbs) who had the better of the exchanges as Zahid seemed to be running on nervous energy and rushed in with little success while Bassi adeptly countered with his back hand.
