(Central News Agency reporter Li Chien-Chung, Taoyuan, 5th) National Tsing Hua University freshman "Little Beast" Peng Chia-Feng made his debut at the 115th National Intercollegiate Athletic Games boxing event today, winning his first career gold medal in the men's 55kg category. He defeated his opponent by knockdown 2 minutes and 28 seconds into the first round of the final, securing the victory in the most dominant fashion.
Peng Chia-Feng, despite not being tall in the men's 55kg category, relied on his excellent speed and power to repeatedly overpower his opponents in today's final. From the start, he launched close-range attacks, repeatedly hitting his opponent's head for points. Ultimately, at 2 minutes and 28 seconds into the first round, he knocked his opponent to one knee, even causing his mouthguard to fall out, and was declared the winner by the referee.
Peng Chia-Feng told the Central News Agency reporter that after being tempered by the Asian Championships in April, competing domestically now makes him even more excited and eager to defeat his opponents. "Now, when I see the punching speed of domestic athletes, it feels like they've all become a bit slower."
Peng Chia-Feng stated that he was very happy to participate in the National Intercollegiate Athletic Games for the first time, especially since his opponents were all older students. "It further ignites my fighting spirit and desire to win. I hope to not only win this gold medal but to take home all the gold medals throughout my four years of university."
Peng Chia-Feng began boxing in the fourth grade. He recalled, "At that time, I was shopping at a night market with my family, and I saw Coach Chan Ching-Yun from a school setting up a booth to recruit students. When I saw him practicing target drills, I found it very interesting, so I joined the boxing team."
Always restless since childhood, Peng Chia-Feng mentioned that he had participated in tug-of-war, but he still prefers boxing, a sport with a stronger sense of individual heroism. "After learning boxing for 10 years, I used to be very nervous at first, but now I absolutely love the feeling of being in the spotlight in the ring."
Peng Chia-Feng, who just turned 19 on April 28 this year, is already a member of the Asian Games training team and will participate in the Asian Games final selection at the end of May. He emphasized, "I don't just want to be selected for the Asian Games; I want to stand on the podium at the Asian Games and see how much I can ultimately improve." (Edited by Chang Ya-Ching) 1150505
