MIANYANG, Southwest China, November 20 (Xinhua) -- Zou Shiming powered his
way into the history books after capturing the light-fly weight title at the
13th World Boxing Championships here on Sunday.
Zou thrashed Hungary's Pal
Bedak 31-13 to win the first gold medal of the world championships in the
Chinese boxing history.
Zou held the best record for Chinese boxers, having won a silver medal in the
last version of the tournament and a bronze medal at the Athens Olympic Games.
Opening the bout with a 9-0 run throughout the second round, Zou led all the
way and extended the lead every round.
Zou used his left jabs to keep space to the small Bedak, who upset defending
champion Sergey kazakov of Russia in the quarter-final.
