Hope tried his best early on but just could not find a way to breach Vijender's defence

Vijender seemed to be looking for a knockout blow from the very beginning even though Kerry was the more attacking of the two

Vijender, who as an amateur held the distinction of being India's first Olympic and World Championships medallist, was hardly pushed despite playing all 10 rounds

This was the longest that Vijender spent inside the ring to clinch a win since turning pro besides being his first points win after six knockouts

The six-footer from Haryana scored 98-92, 98-92, 100-90 to be the unanimous winner
