Chinese boxing can be a heavy hitter

ON SATURDAY, Chinese featherweight boxer Xu Can won a professional world title by wresting the WBA crown from Puerto Rico's Jesus Rojas at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. He became the third Chinese boxer to win a professional championship. ThePaper.cn comments:

Xu won the match, not by luck, but with his own efforts.

He did a very good job in the match. From the first round, he fought rather aggressively and gained the upper hand over Rojas. The fight, which lasted 12 rounds, was excellent, with all three judges unanimously giving Xu the decision.
