World championship medalist Parveen Hooda delivered a scintillating display of power boxing and counter-punching mastery to punch her way into the women’s sixty-five-kilogram gold-medal bout at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya. The dynamic Indian pugilist completely dominated China’s Li Shu in their high-intensity semifinal showdown, securing an authoritative unanimous decision across all scorecards.
Fighting from a southpaw stance, Hooda dictated the center of the canvas from the opening bell, utilizing sharp right jabs and thunderous straight lefts to punish the Chinese boxer whenever she attempted to close the pocket. Despite aggressive charges from Li in the third round, Hooda displayed defensive footwork and clean evasion, landing rapid counter combinations that earned standing ovations from ringside spectators.
Indian boxing coaches hailed Hooda’s tactical composure and technical discipline against a dangerous hometown crowd favorite. With a guaranteed top-two continental finish, the Indian fighter will now prepare for the gold-medal championship final as she targets continental boxing supremacy.
