According to the initial notice from the Organizing Committee, the Lion Championship 11 event did not have the presence of boxer Tran Tra My. The only pair of female boxers is scheduled to take place between Nguyen Thi Uyen Nhi and Le Nguyen Khanh Linh. Tra My attending the event is surprising for this boxer itself.
As a “preparatory” boxer to play for Uyen Nhi, who suddenly withdrew from Lion Championship 11 for injury, Tra My (Kickfit Sports Club) showed that she was not a stunt. Before Le Nguyen Khanh Linh, Tra My showed an overwhelming posture with the right way to fight MMA.
In the beginning of the match, Tra My avoided the opponent, but approached to find a way to take takedown and dominate later. The first half, then the second half, all closed with the advantage in favor of Tra My. Entering the third half, Tra My continued to have very heavy attacks to win the final.
Tra My's victory is more convincing, when she only has 10 days to prepare for this match. One day before the match, Tra My was still running outside the Tay Ho stadium to squeeze the weight under 56kg to ensure the competition conditions. That made her opponent face-off alone.
On December 8, Tra My's weight efforts were successful. That helped her eligible for the upper stage to play with Khanh Linh and win. This result also showed that Tra My's efforts were paid off, although her preparation time was not as long and thoughtful as her opponent.
