LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. This was a long time coming. Vijender Singh was boxing at home for the first time in six years, and barring arguably the Commonwealth Games bouts at Talkatora Stadium in Delhi, this was the biggest crowd for a bout of his. Most of amateur boxing is anyway fought in front of just journalists.In those six years, Vijender has turned his life and career around by going pro. All his first six bouts were fought outside India, where he had to go to unnatural extents to promote the fights. Before one particular fight at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, Vijender had this to say in a press release: I love the Beatles music since I was a child back home and my parents are big fans of their music and I believe that my grandparents went to see them when they came to India in the late 1960s, so growing up I remember all the hits -- Hey Jude, Yesterday, All You Need Is Love, Let It Be, Penny Lane, Here Comes The Sun -- I love it all!I cant wait to get to Liverpool, Ive never fought in the city before as an amateur so now I will get my chance to get down to the Cavern Club finally. Madison Square Garden may be the home of boxing, but for me I have to get to the Cavern Club!I admired boxing legends like Ali and Sugar Ray growing up, but they were never really my heroes, The Beatles however were the centre of my life growing up, I wanted to be a rock star! Well, Im rocking opponents in the ring now!On Saturday there was no need for contrived promotion. The full house was lapping up all the Bollywood and Punjabi pop numbers being belted out. In between they cheered on the big shots in the bouts between the undercards. As the fight night went on slowly, half an hour behind schedule, during the penultimate bout you wondered if Vijender was listening to the crowd and wondering if they were there for the boxing.It was a hard-fought match between Siddhartha Verma and Dilbagh, but as it reached the eighth and final round, the boxers might as well have disappeared. As Rahul Gandhi entered the stadium, a deafening chant of Pappu, Pappu and Modi, Modi sent the bout into oblivion, followed by the entry of Yuvraj Singh, which again took the crowd away from the bout in the dying stages of the bout. The same had happened when two girls from Mary Koms academy didnt on the surface fight well enough to make the crowd continue watching as Virender Sehwag entered the stadium. You wondered if Vijender wondered if India - the superstars who couldnt wait for the round to finish, the organisers who couldnt tell them to do so, the crowd who coouldnt care less about the show - was ready for sports other than cricket.ddddddddddddAt around 10pm, though, 37 minutes behind schedule, Vijender appeared at the top of the ramp, and the crowd went berserk. The roof might have moved a little. Vijender was moved a little too. He stood there and took it in as his entry song Singh Is King played in the background. The national anthems out of the way, the full house - nearly 7000 people - watched in rapt attention, cheering for every punch that Vijender landed, grimacing when he stumbled and fell, falling in a hush every time his opponent Kerry Hope connected.Vijender acknowledged this crowd as he sat with his WBO Asia pacific super middleweight title belt. With every punch I landed, I could hear the Singh Is King chant, the Vi-jender Vi-jender chant, he said. You are focusing on your fight, but this was overwhelming.The win itself, though, didnt come as easily as his earlier ones, all knockouts in his 6-0 career. Hope, a veteran journeyman, with a 23-7 record including four rounds, stretched Vijender all the way, denying him a knockout, but Vijender was a comprehensive and unanimous winner on decision: 98-92, 98-92, 100-90. In the first round, in the sixth and in the ninth, Vijender managed to connect combinations of rights, which threatened to roll Hope over, but the Welsh-born Australian managed to come back at him.In the first round, Vijender landed two rights in a row, and mock-smiled at Hope, but Hope danced straight back into the contest. It seemed that Hopes strategy was to make Vijender, usually a counter-attacker, be the aggressor and spend energy in the longest bout of his career. Vijender, though, bided his time, showed reserves of energy, and kept landing the odd blow consistently to edge out each round. Being the aggressor would also leave Vijenders body open for the southpaws counter, but that never materialised.In the next four rounds, Hope kept holding Vijender off, but he didnt succeed in visibly frustrating Vijender, who opened Hope up under the right eye in the fourth round. Egged on by the home crowd, Vijender landed consecutive rights in the sixth to leave Hope staggering a little. Vijender went back to being patient before getting another offensive in in the ninth, getting two sets of two rights each straight into his face. It was now just a matter of time. Except that it had been a long time coming. ' ' '
