This result helps Vietnamese boxers to reach the quarterfinals, where she encountered the No. 3 seed of Laura Fuertes.
A remarkable detail is that the match between Nguyen Thi Tam and Laura Fuertes took place at 19:30 on March 22. It also means Vietnamese boxers and members of the coaching staff are less than 24 hours to rest, as well as prepare for the next match. This is a quite harsh schedule with a tournament on an international scale.
As usual, national and international boxing tournaments often organize a 2-3 days/match for athletes to attend. That intensity helps the boxers have more time to recover, as well as ensure their performance before entering the next match. The dense competition only takes place in the context of the schedule too urgent.
Besides, Nguyen Thi Tam's opponent in the semi -final also owns an outstanding achievement table. Laura Fuertes won the bronze medal of the 2023 World Championship. She was considered the prodigy of the Spanish boxing, when she became the first puncher in the national boxing history to win a medal in an international -level tournament.
The match between Nguyen Thi Tam and Laura Fuertes will decide a ticket to the semi -finals. The boxer won this match certainly won a medal at the tournament and received a bonus of not less than $ 25,000, according to the organizers.
