Composed of aspirants to the 30th Southeast Asian Games (SEAG), the Philippines plunged into action Friday in the Asian Boxing Championships in Bangkok.
Four fighters — light-flyweight Ramel Macado, fly Marvin Tabamo, light-welter Sugar ray Ocana and female feather Nesthy Petecio — were scheduled to kick off the Filipinos’ bid in the nine-day slugfest featuring the very best of the region.
Lightweight Jeorgercy Eduma, Ian Clark Bautista and female light-fly Josie Gabuco make their appearances on Saturday, while welter Joel Bacho takes the spotlight on Sunday.
