As a rival of the same level of balance for many years, Bui Trong Thai and Tran Van Thao have a similar level. While “The Trigger” has won against Thailand in the 2016 steel tournament, the army's boxers defeated Thao in the framework of the National Sports Festival 2018.
With the tension between the two boxers, the 54kg semi -final match has become a thrilling match. Entering the first half, Bui Trong Thai was the one who took the initiative to attack. The army fighters constantly have situations punching the head and his body Tran Van Thao. However, the boxer of the Binh Duong delegation was not inferior.
The first half of the balance ended with a 3-2 victory towards Tran Van Thao. Entering the second half, suddenly happened when “The Trigger” was gained 5-0, thereby almost holding a ticket to the final. In order to overturn the results, Bui Trong Thai needs to win with a big difference to the opponent.
The spirit has nothing to lose to help Bui Trong Thai enter the third half with the active game. He continuously attacked, and there were provocative situations that Tran Van Thao faced the defeat. However, Thai's efforts are not enough to help him come back to win against Tran Van Thao.
Disformed by the results of the match, the army made a complaint to the organizers. After a few minutes of consultation, Mr. Vu Duc Thinh (in charge of Boxing – Kickboxing TCTDTT, member of the Organizing Committee), on behalf of the supervisors announcing the results of the match:
“After receiving the army's complaint, we would like to inform: The initial result was athlete Tran Van Thao won 3-2. After surgery to review the results, the final result was Tran Van Thao won 5-2,” the organizers announced.
Thus with this result, Tran Van Thao has officially reached the final of 54kg weight. His opponent in the final match of the Congress is Tran Van An, a veteran boxer of the Hanoi delegation.
