Flyweight Irish Magno has won her opening bout in the Asian Women?s Boxing Championships in Wuhan, China beating AIBA World Youth Champion Lin Yu Ting of Chinese ?Taipei on Friday following a colorful opening ceremony.
ABAP executive director Ed Picson who heads the PLDT-ABAP delegation said the National Sports Association under president Ricky Vargas sent a lean team of only four boxers.
Magno who won a silver medal in the last Southeast Asian Games in Singapore in June was, according to Picson, the more aggressive as she took the fight to the gritty Taiwanese and scored with combinations to the head.
In a post-fight interview in Pilipino, Magno said ?I really wanted to win although I was bothered by a pesky cough and cold which hit most of us while training in Baguio. But I just focused on what the coaches told me to do and I?m happy to pull this off? said a beaming Magno.
Veteran light flyweight Josie Gabuco who won her fourth straight SEA Games gold medal in Singapore last June and bantamweight silver medalist Nesthy Petecio both drew tough Uzbekistan opponents and will see action on Day two in the posh Inner Mongolia Stadium while featherweight Riza Pasuit makes her debut against a Chinese opponent on Sunday.
The coaches of the women?s team are Roel Velasco and Mitchel Martinez while AIBA International technical official Karina Pecson was appointed as one of two members of the Draw Commission which is assigned with task of appointing the referees and judges for the fights while Cildo Evasco of Baguio City, a three-star AIBA international referee/judge is one of the arbiters in the tournament which drew 96n boxers frm 16 countries.
Syria?s Mohammed Shbib of Syria is the tournament supervisor.
