According to the schedule announced by the organizers, the first day of competition will take place immediately after the opening ceremony, starting at 19h on 22/11. There are 8 matches taking place on the first day. One of them is the match between Nguyen Thi Anh Thu (Thai Binh) and Huynh Ha Huu Hieu (Ho Chi Minh City).
Everyone knows that Huu Hieu is the defending champion of the national muay, twice winning the World Muay IFMA, currently holding the professional championship WBC Muay International. But few people know, Hieu's foundation is Boxing athlete. In 2014, Huu Hieu attended the Ho Chi Minh City Young Boxing Championship and won the gold medal.
According to many coaches at that time, Hieu had the potential to develop with boxing larger than many young athletes who won gold in that tournament. “The strength of Hieu with Boxing is the foot set with the ability to move fast,” a coach shared. This tournament is also an opportunity for Huu Hieu to try to return to Boxing.
On the opponent of Huu Hieu, Anh Thu entered the first match of the tournament as the defending national champion. Meanwhile, this is Huu Hieu's first national boxing, who is known in Muay and Kickboxing. Being more appreciated, Anh Thu played well in the first half.
The pruning situations of Thai Binh boxers helped her win in this match. Huu Hieu lost the first half, but in fact, the difference between the two boxers in this match was very small. That was shown in the second half, when the martial artist of Ho Chi Minh City gradually caught up with Anh Thu's movement.
The match took place balanced, and there were 2/5 of Huu Hieu Dot Assessment. Entering the third half, the balance posture was once again shown, and Huu Hieu even received the majority. But with the total score of 3 rounds, the victory belonged to Anh Thu with a score of 3-2 (30-27, 28-29, 29-28, 28-29, 29-28).
In fact, the match between Huu Hieu and Anh Thu has the professional quality of a semi -final or final. The fact that the two boxers must face each other early on the opening day is extremely unfortunate.
