Hello Boxing fans,
India found a true champion in Vijender Singh. When he won the Olympics Bronze in Bejing, it was unique. But his achievement lost part of it's sheen by the Gold won by Abhinav Bindra in Shooting and the Bronze of Sushil Kumar in Wrestling.
In the World Boxing Championships in Milan he made the country proud by being the first Indian to stand on the podium.
His semifinal bout with Abbos Atoev was a case of lapse in concentration in between.The 7-3 score line was mainly made up of a 5-0 score in the second round. The first round going 1-0 to Vijender and the third being tied at 2-2. It should be added that Abbos just tried to stay away in the third. Vijender had earlier beaten Atoev in the Asian Championships in June in China.
So a Bronze it will be for Vijender once again, but whatever it is he is opening doors for Indian Boxers and we are proud of our young lad.
"Obviously, I am a disappointed. But I am glad that I managed to break the jinx for India," said the 23-year-old boxer.
We are sure that with the kind of attitude he has shown we will continue to hear more of him and his success will be replicated by several others.
Good Luck to Vijender and Indian Boxing.
