Right on the first day of the Young Boxing and Gifted Championship of Ho Chi Minh City 2024, the audience witnessed many high quality matches. The young boxers of Ho Chi Minh City have devoted dramatic competitions, with many closed matches with close scores.
On the coaches, they also spend the maximum time to focus on guiding students, in the context that this is a rare “real war” for athletes. This was shown in the match between boxers Ngo Anh Tu (Cu Chi district) and Huynh Bao Khang (District 7) belonging to the 42kg weight class of South ages 13-14.
The competition between Tu and Bao Khang witnessed the superiority of the boxer of Cu Chi unit. Immediately after the first half, Bao Khang continuously received attacks from the opponent. After a few seconds of the first round of the first half, Bao Khang's coach decided to stop the match.
However, the opponent's request to stop the match early does not seem to affect Cu Chi's coach. The coach in charge of Mr. Tu continuously advised and instructed students during the break. He seemed to “forget” the enemy's request to give up, and only stop guiding the students when the organizers announced the results.
Taking place from March 31 to April 5, Ho Chi Minh City Boxing Championship 2024 is an important playground for young boxers. With 3 ages of competition of 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18, the tournament helps young athletes to rub, improve competition experience, and choose the most elite faces.
