Before the 32nd SEA Games, the Vietnamese boxing team aims to win 1-2 gold medals, in the context of the limited number of competition content as prescribed by the host country. In addition, Boxing has long been the subject “to meet hero” when we are with us are countries with Olympic -class boxing teams such as Thailand and Philippines.
The goal of winning the gold medal of Boxing Vietnam is even more difficult when after the first 2 days of competition, Nguyen Thi Tam and Nguyen Van Duong have to leave the game because of injury. But overcome difficulties, the Vietnamese boxing team still reached 3 finals, and won two of them.
In the weight of 71kg, the victory of the Knock-Out against the Thai opponent in the final of Bui Phuoc Tung is the most surprising thing. Capital was not as appreciated as Atichai, but Phuoc Tung took the initiative to attack for positive results in the first half. In the second half, he attacked and had an impressive victory.
Bui Phuoc Tung's gold medal is the third time the male boxing boxing of Vietnam has won the SEA Games championship. This is also the first HCV Boxing SEA Games of a army fighter. Earlier, the military boxing has stood first in the whole national championship for many years, but the best achievement of the boxers in the new SEA Games is HCB.
Besides Bui Phuoc Tung, Ha Thi Linh also has an impressive return. Perhaps she was the athlete for many years, a decade, to once again conquer the SEA Games gold medal. At the age of 30 and became a mother of two children, Ha Thi Linh still showed the stable performance of one of the leading martial artists in the region.
In addition, other boxers such as Nguyen Linh Phung and Vu Thanh Dat showed a clear progress in the international arena after only 1 year. They are not inferior to too much when facing Thai or Philippine boxers. These will probably be the next faces of Boxing Vietnam to the international way in the future.
The most unfortunate thing of Boxing Vietnam after the 32nd SEA Games is that the two Olympic fighters have no satisfactory results. Nguyen Thi Tam needs more time to diagnose the seriousness of the injury, and Nguyen Van Duong continues to have an unwanted SEA Games.
