ALICE KATE APARRI THRASHES OPPONENT TO GIVE RP WOMEN BOXERS 2-0 START


PhilBoxing.com



Aparri.
The freezing cold in the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bator wasn?t a hindrance to flyweight Alice Kate Aparri who got off to a hot start and ripped her Chinese-Taipei opponent Meng-Chieh Pin 15-5 to provide the Philippine team with a sizzling 2-0 card after two days of competition in the 6th Asian Women?s Boxing Championships.

The 27 year old Baguio girl who is the most senior female boxer in the national squad, followed up opening day winner Nesthy Petecio's resounding 12-3 victory over another Taiwanese girl, Yuan Hu in the bantamweight division on Monday.

The AIBA website reported that the World Championship quarter-finalist ?controlled her opening contest? against the 17 year old Yuan Hu.

A three-time Southeast Asian Games gold medalist and a two-time winner of a bronze medal in the AIBA World Championships, Aparri put pressure on Meng who back-pedaled most of the time in an effort to avoid Aparri?s powerful combinations.

A Hotel and Restaurant Management graduate from the University of Baguio. Aparri is pursuing still another degree in Computer Science at the same institution according to Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines executive director Ed Picson.

Josie Gabuco, a gold medalist in the last two SEA Games and a bronze medalist in the 2008 World Championships, faces the Philippine team's first tough test when she clashes with China?s Yukie Luo in a light flyweight bout on Wednesday after both boxers drew a bye in the first round.

Later on the same day, opening day winner Nesthy Petecio battles North Korea?s Un Jong Choe in a bid to make it into the medal round.

Picson who heads the PLDT-ABAP delegation told the Manila Standard "the field here is highly competitive. Even the legendary Mary Kom of India got a scare yesterday barely winning? over Thailand?s Asian Indoor Games champion Peamwilai Laopeam.

Kom and two-time AIBA World Champion Ren Cancan of China are the two big names in the Olympic flyweight class, prompting AIBA to predict ?This draw is extremely strong on the Asian continent? even as it included Aparri among the contenders.

ABAP executive director Picson said while the assignments on the first two days were comparatively easy our female boxers now ?face more serious opposition. Both Josie and Nesthy are anxious to get to the next level however, and I like their positive attitude."

The Philippine boxers traveled to Mongolia direct from a training camp in Muaklek, Thailand which is the Thai National Training Center. Immediately before that, they also had training sessions and a dual meet with Sri Lankan counterparts in Manila and Tagbilaran City.

The tournament, which drew 82 participants from 17 Asian nations, serves as preparation for the Women's Olympic Qualifying event in Qinhuangdao, China in May.
