PICSON FEELS THAT LADON SHOULD HAVE WON GOLD By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Sat, 13 Jun 2015  Alliance of Boxing Associations of the Philippines executive director feels that Rogen Ladon should have won the gold medal in the Southeast Asian Games boxing finals in Singapore against Indonesia?s Kornelis Langu who won by a split decision. While not really complaining about the result even as he shared our assessment that the judging overeall in Singapore was fair, Picson who supervised the boxers training on a daily basis told the New Standard/boxingmirror.com he felt that Ladon ?won the first two rounds but lost the third.? Because he failed to maintain his aggressive stance which Picson said had been drilled into our boxers minds throughout their training for the Singapore games. He said that those who watched the telecast on TV5?s Aksyon TV channel had noted that the four men who won gold were always moving forward aggressively against their opponents which was a key to victory. The gold medal winners were flyweight Ian Clark Bautista, the 20 year old who was robbed of the decision in the last Asian Games in South Korea who won handsomely over Mohamed Hamid of Singapore,Mario Fernandez who stopped Thailand?s Tanes Ongjunta in the second round after dropping the Thai twice, Junel Cantancio who earned a place in the squad as a replacement for Charly Suarez who was committed to try and earn a slot in the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil by competing in the AIBA pro boxing tournament and welterweight Eumir Felix Marcial who ripped Singapore?s Jia Wei Tay in a battle for gold giving the men?s team four golds out of a possible five in the finals and with the gold medal victory of female light flyweight champion Jose Gabuco clinched the boxing team championship. Armed with their 5-gold performance in the 28th SEA Games in Singapore, members of the PLDT-ABAP Philippine boxing team arrived to a triumphant welcome at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport late Thursday, with ABAP president Ricky Vargas ? paying tribute to the boxers? grit and savvy.?
