2018 World Championships silver medalist Sudaporn Seesondee emulated her three compatriots at the Olympic Games TOKYO 2020 on Tuesday, clearing her first hurdle in style in the womens boxing 60kg at the Kokugikan Arena.
The 29-year-old from Udon Thani outclassed her opponent Maria Jose Palacios Espinoza of Ecuador 5-0 to become the fourth Thai boxer in round two of the Tokyo Games. Sudaporn followed in the footsteps of Baison Manikon, Chatchai-Decha Butdee and Jutamas Jitpong, who all won their opening bouts earlier.
The 2018 Asian Games silver medalist Sudaporn was the more impressive fighter throughout the three-round bout, utilizing her powerful straight left and rapid footwork to keep her South American rival off balance and out of the comfort zone.
