Have put behind controversial London Games loss, says Manoj

The controversial quarterfinal loss in the London Olympics still rankles him, but Indian boxer Manoj Kumar insists he has put it behind him and concentrating on future challenges which include the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
"You can see the fight (on video). The last round shows five points in my favour. But what (had) happened to my scores in the first two rounds? They are missing. I feel I had scored more in the first two rounds," said light welter weight boxer Manoj here referring to the loss to British boxer Tom Stalker.
In London, Manoj fell behind in the first two rounds of his pre-quarter final bout against Stalker, who also won a gold at the 2010 Delhi CWG in another weight class, and then finally lost 16-20 though one of the ring side judges put him ahead in round one.

When exiting the ring, Manoj cried "cheating" to express his dismay at the decision.
Today, on being prompted by former India hockey skipper and CEO of NGO Olympic Gold Quest, Viren Rasquinha, Manoj said he, like other boxers, has already forgotten the loss and is looking forward to defending his title in the Glasgow CWG commencing on July 23.
"My preparations are going well. I won the silver in the Euro Ranking tournament in Hungary in February where the competition was good. I am confident of defending my crown in the 64 kg class in the Commonwealth Games," said the Haryana-lad.

Manoj and light flyweight (49 kg) boxer Devendro Singh, who too has qualified through trials for the CWG, were here for a routine medical check up arranged by OGQ, founded by badminton ace Prakash Padukone and billiards great Geet Sethi.
