laura is strong fell this Wednesday by unanimous decision against the Vietnamese Thi Nguyen in the -50kg quarterfinalswhere he said goodbye Women’s World Boxing Championship debated in New Delhi (India).
Nguyen, 28 years old and two-time gold medalist in the Asian championships, showed his seniority to cancel the boxing of the only Spanish medalist in the women’s boxing world championships. Holding a nimble left guard, he took the middle of the rope. He patiently worked the right and placed the left with power. He varied the height to keep the Asturian from overheating. Fuertes looks to take a step forward, close the distance and land a right overhand but is unable to execute the actions.
The Vietnamese were very reactive to the Spanish attacks. He would rush into the clinch when he felt Fuertes was far away. The Spaniard, encouraged by national coach and former boxer Rafael Lozano, put another gear in the third round but it wasn’t enough.
Nguyen added more dividends in the eyes of the judges and prevailed on the cards by unanimous decision (27-30) to seal their ticket to the semifinals. Fuertes will not be able to surrender the bronze won last year at the World Championships held in Turkey, the first medal for a Spanish woman in that event.
With the removal of Laura Fuertes Spain was left without representation at the World Cups after yesterday’s elimination of Jennifer Fernández (-57 kg) and Marta López Del Árbol (-48).
