Promising boxers to make pro debut at VSP Pro 2

HCM CITY — Việt Nam's best young prospects will make their professional debut at the VSP Pro  二 on February  二 五 in HCM City.

VSP Pro  二, organised by VSP Promotions, is a proving ground for amateur and semi-pro boxers to compete for the first time in professional standard matches under experts from world prestigious boxing organisations.

VSP Promotions is one of the biggest names in boxing in Việt Nam. It took part in organising big events such as Victory  八: Saigon Fight Night, Victory  八: Legend of Hoàn Kiếm and the IBF Asian - Fortunes of War. 

There will be seven great fights boasting talent from HCM City and Hà Nội, including a  四 八kg bout featuring two women, Ngô Ngọc Linh Chi and Lê Thị Ngọc Hạnh, that are desperate for north/south bragging rights.

Each match will be four rounds with three minutes each round for men and two minutes for women.

Chi is the youngest fighter to compete in VSP Pro  二. The Hanoian started learning boxing two years ago.

Her aptitude was obvious, and she began competing in  二0 二0 - achieving a silver medal at the national youth championship in  二0 二0, a bronze medal at the national youth championship in  二0 二 二, and also a bronze medal of national club championship in  二0 二 二.

Power puncher Hạnh from Matrix Gym in HCM City won a silver at the  二0 一 七 National Youth Boxing Championship and a bronze in the following year. 

In the men's  六 三. 五kg category, HCM City boxer Trần Ngọc Thiên and Team Manny Cần Thơ's Nguyễn Quí Thịnh are two young prospects who will battle in the opening event.

Thiên began his boxing career in early  二0 二 二 and won a bronze at the city's Sport Games. Meanwhile, Thịnh has had three years with the sport and has competed in many different tournaments around the city since then.

In the  五 三. 五kg pool, Russki bad boy Lê Hoàng Hiệp will face Nguyễn Thế Anh.

Hiệp is the only athlete to have competed in two pro matches previously along with many friendly and amateur matches.

Anh won a silver and bronze at the national youth championships since  二0 二0.

Hiệp said there would be absolutely no mercy given this Saturday night at the VSP Pro  二.

"Winners train. Losers complain. I'm coming to shock and awe. And I'm bringing knockout pills in both hands. Gonna start my highlight reel this Saturday,"大众Hiệp said.
