According to the plan of the Vietnam Boxing team, Nguyen Manh Cuong can compete at ASIAD to the 80kg weight class. This is an unexpected information for many people. Because, the 80kg weight class has not witnessed the appearance of the boxer who has just won the SEA Games 32 medal.
In fact, Manh Cuong usually maintains weight at 95-98kg. At national championships, he often plays 86kg weight. By the last SEA Games, Cuong Dam 92kg. That also means that Manh Cuong may have to press down nearly 20kg to target ASIAD.
Previously, Nguyen Manh Cuong used to play internationally in the weight of 75kg male weight. It was the 2019 SEA Games, where he won the final gold medal. However, 4 years have passed from that time, Nguyen Manh Cuong also changed a lot in terms of condition. He will take a lot of time and effort to squeeze the class of 80kg male.
Besides Nguyen Manh Cuong, Vietnam Boxing recruits have 9 other athletes on the way to Uzbekistan to play. These are all national players with good achievements recently. The rare face does not accompany the team, the boxer Nguyen Thi Tam, who is recovering and can go to Thailand in the coming time.
According to information of iThethao.vnVietnam boxing team can send 8-10 faces to attend ASIAD 19. With that powerful force, the Vietnam boxing team expects 1-2 faces to reach the semi-finals. It also means that Vietnam Boxing certainly has a medal in ASIAD and winning the Olympic Games.
