In the last round, Jitender fought valiantly but the Russian, who was enjoying a lead of five points, employed a defensive tactics and finally won the bout to sail into the semifinals.

Boxer Jitender goes down valiantly to European Champion
salaam,
If it claims to have attained WISDOM in matter it does require proof in claims,
For not every claimant upon TRUTH to the claims made in LIFE of matter.
For WISDOM given a foundation that has never changed since its foundation in matter to TRUTH,
cause when it claims to have Wisdom in matter it also claiming that it has TRUTH in matters,
For if it matters in life,
DESCRIPTION came with it to KEEP to accuracy upon matter.
Cause some would like to make changes upon TRUTH while TRUTH was not due any CHANGES in LIFE,
Like RIGHT not due any change,
For change was placed upon left for it came in ignorancy and life did not get knowledge all alone in life,
That it found many teachers of matter, for if they had Wisdom,
They would know that skipping and jumping and hopping and running aorund in some wisdom not allowed !
For ignorancy does not appear liken to WISDOM in TRUTH,
That opposites came into LIFE,
To ask from where did they earn that degree in knowledge of TRUTH,
For it did not come in any BOOK of WORDS,
For Wisdom is without any BOOK of Wisdom,
and required before taking to the account given in WISDOM of WORDS formost.
That if it truely been to that TEMPLE of TRUTH it would know the dispute in matter!
Was upon the garment issue for HARD it was to keep modesty upon ignorancy.
and if it be at buying and selling of matter of degress upon knowledge of TRUTH what is a fair price in matter?
That you leave not the worker in poverty!
So what is the worst kind of poverty?
The mind asset for it claims to know matter that when question found to be not in knowledge of the TRUTH of the matter made mention.
For poverty came in the foot steps for it carries lewd out the doorways before the hand reaches the doorway or its mouth.
For the hands and the feet and the mouth could disagree in matter to TRUTH in claims.
