At the Boxing U22 and Asian Championships 2024, Pham Dang Luu played in a weight of 75kg in the age of 17-18. Lao Cai boxers entered the tournament with the bag of the Young Asian Boxing Award 2023.
The visit of the Boxing U22 and Asian Championships 2024 brought Pham Dang Luu to the branch very difficult. His opponent in the first match was Sanzhar Ali Begalyev, representative of Kazkhstan. Sanzhar Ali Begalyev is considered as one of the top candidates for the championship.
Before a Sanzhar Ali Begaliyev was very strong in long -range situations, Pham Dang Luu chose the plan to keep the distance. Vietnamese boxers kept their distance, and waited for the opponent to attack and then countered it. However, this tactic did not work effectively for Pham Dang Luu.
With a better height and arms than the representative of Vietnam, Sanzhar Ali Begalyev constantly “trimmed” posted with hook and straight punches. In the situations of posting trying to counterattack, he immediately received very heavy attacks by the back of the opponent from Central Asia.
In the first half of the match, the arbitrator had a counting situation with Pham Dang Luu when he saw a representative of Vietnam received a heavy blow. Entering the second half, Dang Luu had 2 more times. The match ended early with the victory of Sanzhar Ali Begalyev, while Dang Luu soon stopped in the quarterfinals.
Entering April 28, Boxing Vietnam has 2 more faces competing at the Boxing U22 and Asian Championships 2024. That is Nguyen Duy Anh (57kg male weight) and Dam Ngoc Duc (weight of 63.5kg men). Both are the boxers of the Bac Ninh unit, playing at the age of U22.
