Considered to be one of the golden hope of the Vietnamese boxing team at the 32nd SEA Games, but Nguyen Van Duong was unable to play the entire opening match. Before rival Ian Clark Bautista, Vietnamese boxers played well in the first 2 rounds. However, the wound encountered in the third half made him lose and stop the game early.
After the match, there was an opinion that the arbitration of the game controlled the match decided to be insightful. However, Nguyen Van Duong was tried to lose to RSC-I (the referee stopped the match because the boxer was injured). In this case, plus what is important in the match, it can be seen that the arbitrator is not the highest decision.
According to the regulations of the International Boxing Association (IBA), in case the fighter is injured when playing, the arbitrator will ask 2 boxers to pause, then bring the injured boxer to the corner of the radio. Here, the doctor has the first aid task for the boxer, and assesses the severity of the injury to decide whether or not to stop the match or not.
If the doctor said that the athlete was injured at the level of stopping the match to ensure health, the arbitrator was obliged to obey this decision, and required to stop the match immediately. This is what happened to Nguyen Van Duong in the last match, when he needed the care of the doctor twice in a row in the third half.
According to information iThethao.vn Noting, Nguyen Van Duong was diagnosed with injury by the doctor in the left eyelid area. This is a dangerous injury, which can cause athletes to lose a lot of blood, and affect the eye area and the ability to observe. Therefore, the doctor has the basis to request a stop, and the referee must follow.
