Mary Kom makes winning start at World Championships at Qinhuangdao, China
Assam Tribune | PTI | New Delhi, May 13
Star Indian woman boxer MC Mary Kom made a resounding start to her title defence and the quest for an Olympic berth by advancing to the pre-quarterfinals of the seventh World Women’s Championships in Qinhuangdao, China today.
The 29-year-old seventh seed, who has won the world title for an unprecedented five times, out-punched Japan’s Ayako Minnowa 20-9 in her lopsided opener of the flyweight 51kg division after getting a first-round bye.
“It was such a confusing bout, I don’t know how to describe it. My opponent was very strong but she had no skill or technique, she only had strength. She fought like a bull, only hitting my belly,” Mary Kom said laughing while speaking to PTI from Qinhuangdao.
