As Vijender Singh, 31, India's most intelligent boxer, gets ready to take on China's power-puncher Zulpikar Maimaitiali, 23, in Battleground Asia at the NSCI Dome in Worli tonight, the question on everyone's mind is if the brain is indeed superior to brawn. China's No. 1 professional boxer Zulpikar has some big punches, while Vijender's hits aren't as heavy.
