Vietnamese boxer outplays Spanish competitor to advance to world championship semifinals

From the beginning of Wednesday’s match, Tam showed her dominance over Fernandez.

Tam did not allow her opponent to approach while launching single and continuous attacks. 

With abundant physical strength and good stature, Tam confused the European No. 9 and took the lead in the showdown.

In the first two rounds, Tam scored with straight punches and accurate hooks into Fernandez’s face, abdomen, and ribs to claim the absolute victory.

In the third round, Fernandez tried to regain the balance but ended up being squeezed out by the Vietnamese boxer. 

At one point, Fernandez even failed to keep her composure and had an unsportsmanlike conduct against Tam, for which she was given a warning.

In the end, Tam won 5-0 with the absolute points of 30 in all five rounds.

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.
