Vijender became the third Indian pugilist after Akhil and Jitender to reach the quarter finals of his category in Beijing.
Vijender made the most of his height advantage and long reach to unnerve the Thai who looked confounded. Vijender unleashed mostly upper cuts and jabs and the Thai had no clue as to what was going.
"It was a great bout and Vijender displayed his full bag of tricks. It went just as we had planned," an elated coach GS Sandhu told PTI.
"Vijender was in full control and not for once did he look vulnerable. Whatever we planned bore fruit and I'm proud of the way he fought today," he added.
Asked about Vijender's next bout, Sandhu said, "He has not played against him (Carlos Gongora) but we have certain plans and you will see it in the quarterfinal bout itself."
