MOSSELY BOXER HER WAY TO BIRTHDAY GOLD

 French boxer ESTELLE  MOSSELY enjoyed A 24 Birthday to remember at Rio 2016, winning the Olympics lightweight title to give her country a maiden  women's BOXER Gold

MOSSELY  beat china's Yin Junhua on a split decision after the four round dad ended with the two boxers level on the three judges scorecards. Losing semi-finalist Mira poktonen of Finland and Anastasia Beliakova of Russia took the bronze medals.

As Yoka watched from the stands, the two fighters made a cagey start, with Mossely ending the first round trailing her Chinese opponent 10-9 10-9 10-9. The French boxer began to turn the tide when she rocked Yin at the end of the second with a fierce right, catapulting the Chinese back towards her own corner.

Mossely was again on the attack at the end of the third, with a left-right-left combination stunning Yin. The Frenchwoman came out in determined mood at the start of the fourth and final round, and did just enough to get the decisive vote, securing France its first gold in the ring since Brahim Asloum won the light-flyweight title at Sydney 2000.

Describing how she bounced back after a faltering start to the final, Mossely said: “I didn’t expect to lose the first round and second round but it happens. I spoke to my coach and he said, ‘You’ve trained hard for this. You’re setting a good pace. You have good cardio’, and he urged me on. So from there it was just all instinct, trying to give more and more and more. And it worked.

“It makes me feel complete,” she said of her gold medal. “I had a lot of work to do: I’ve had to work with my coaches and my teams to get to this level. I’ve had to study a lot to really understand what I needed to do to become the best, and I’m really happy to have made it.”
