In the match in the quarterfinals of 54kg women's weight with Jutamas Jitpong, Nguyen Thi Tam played not bad in the first 2 rounds. Both athletes have many situations that are taken. But in terms of effective blow, Nguyen Thi Tam is a more outstanding competition. Experience helps Vietnamese boxers own the pace of the match.
However, everything was very different in the final match. The advantage of playing in the weight class helps Jitpong have enough “battery” to exert strength in the third half. On the side of Nguyen Thi Tam, Vietnamese boxers suddenly impaired physical impairment. Vietnamese boxers were injured in a close situation, and that made her unable to play as she wanted.
At the beginning of the third half, Nguyen Thi Tam was counted twice after being attacked by Jitpong. She tried to extend the match until the end of the 3rd half but could not succeed when she knew and fell at the end of the half. This is also the third time Nguyen Thi Tam has been counted, thereby receiving the defeat of RSC-I (the referee stopped the match due to the athlete injured).
In the end, Nguyen Thi Tam lost to Jitpong in the 3rd half. This is a very unfortunate result because before the sudden playing due to injury, Vietnamese boxers still play very well. This result is also something that the Vietnamese boxing team does not measure, because Tam is the fighter with the most opportunities to win the gold medal.
In the remaining match of the Vietnamese boxing team taking place today, Tran Duc Tho also received failure. Confronted with the defending champion SEA Games and Asia Bunjong Sinsiri, Tran Duc Tho tried hard but could not overcome the opponent completely superior in class. He lost by calculating the point after 3 rounds.
