The match between Nguyen Van Quyet (Nghe An) of Nhat Nam sect and Dang Hoang Giang (Military Zone 7) representing Shaolin Tay Son sect (54kg weight class) is a match that experts and martial arts fans are waiting for, because both fighters are considered equally talented and are at the peak of their performance. More than a month ago, at the National Traditional Martial Arts Championship, Dang Hoang Giang had won by knockout against Nguyen Van Quyet in a very fierce and dramatic match. After that victory, Dang Hoang Giang easily advanced to the tournament when there were no more opponents of equal strength and won the gold medal for the Army unit. This rematch is an opportunity for Nguyen Van Quyet to repay his debt, and at the same time compete for the top spot, because both fighters had previously won 2 matches, the fighter who defeated his opponent in this match will have an advantage in the semi-finals.

Therefore, the match was fierce from the beginning when the boxer from Military Zone 7 proactively launched his signature kicks to attack the boxer from Nghe An in order to control the game. Learning from his previous defeat by Knock-uot, Nguyen Van Quyet calmly defended tightly and continuously moved to avoid his opponent's quick kicks, while also finding gaps in his opponent's defense to counterattack. During the 3 rounds, Dang Hoang Giang launched a series of consecutive kicks but none of them hit the target. Not only successfully neutralizing his opponent's signature kicks, Nguyen Van Quyet also seized the opportunity to attack with powerful kicks from the Nhat Nam sect, making the boxer from Military Zone 7 lose face because he was continuously hit by "palms". At the end of the match, the young boxer born in Hung Linh commune (Hung Nguyen district) won convincingly to officially get a ticket to the semi-finals of Let's Viet 2013 after 3 consecutive wins.

In another development, in the 51kg weight class, the second place match, boxer Phan Van Yen of Nghe An also defeated opponent Huynh Thanh Luan of Army Corps 4 to win the second ticket to the semi-finals (the first place in this weight class belonged to Nguyen Manh Ho (HCMC). In addition, in the Traditional Martial Arts Championship, Boxing - Let's Viet 2013, two boxers from Nghe An, Nguyen Van An and Vo Duy Thanh, also officially won tickets to the semi-finals. This Saturday afternoon, October 12, Nguyen Van An and Vo Duy Thanh will compete in the last match of the group stage to compete for the first place to determine their opponents in the semi-finals.
