On July 26, the Tokyo Olympic boxing match ended the men's 52 kg competition to end the first round of competition, Chinese boxer Hu Jianguan lived up to expectations, 5-0 victory over 22-year-old Georgian rising star Sakir, following Chen Daxiang's opening goal for the men's team the day before, Hu Jianguan's victory further enhanced the confidence of the Chinese boxing team to achieve the Tokyo Olympic Games.
It is understood that Hu Jianguan was born in Shangrao, Jiangxi on May 11, 1993, and Xu Can, the only active professional boxing world boxing king in China, is a fellow countryman, but Hu Jianguan has been working hard in the system since practicing boxing, and since Zou Shiming faded out of the national team, Hu Jianguan has taken over the mantle of Zou Shiming and occupied the main position of the national team in the 52 kg class.
In 2016, Hu Jianguan played for the national team for the Olympic Games for the first time, when he was only 23 years old, he won a bronze medal, coincidentally, Zou Shiming's first Olympic trip was also a bronze medal, and it was also at the age of 23, because of this, the author gave Hu Jianguan the nickname of "Zou Shiming's successor" in 2016, which was later widely circulated in the circle.
This time Hu Jianguan went to the Olympic Games for the second time, he believes that his skills, experience, strength and the use of techniques and tactics are in the best period, and the age of 28 is also the peak of his sports career, so he set himself a goal, that is, to win the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympic Games, comparable to Zou Shiming.
In the first round of the competition against the 2019 European Championship runner-up Sakir, Hu Jianguan showed a significantly higher level than the opponent's level and the ability to read the game, the offensive and defensive conversion and rhythm mastery, did not give the opponent any opportunity, 3 rounds of the battle, Hu Jianguan ended with a 5-0 wild victory, showing his strong belief and absolute strength to rush gold.
It can be said that Hu Jianguan is the most promising candidate for Chinese men's boxing to impact the Tokyo Olympic medal and even the gold medal, even in the next Olympic Games, Hu Jianguan is likely to continue to occupy the main position, thus replicating Zou Shiming's earth-shattering feat of participating in the Olympic Games three times.
