ABAP executive director Ed Picson told The standard some hours before our four men and one female boxer prepared for their quarter final bouts that they were ?very focused and very excited.?
Picson said the lone female boxer Nesthy Petecio faces the toughest challenge when she battles five-time world champion Mary Kom of India who won by a close split decision against a Kazakh girl on Monday with two judges scoring the fight for the Indian while the American judge gave all three rounds to the Kazakh girl.
Picson said Petrecio ?is an amazon who likes challenges? and he expects her to do well against the fancied Kom.
Lightweight top seed, 28 year old veteran Charly Suarez battles Dheeraj Rani, a champion in the military who is ?tall, lanky and awkward? but Picson believes Suarez is ?technically superior and strength- wise has got it.?
Mario Fernandez may not have a power punch but is a sound tactician and should be able to overcome his Jordanian opponent who Picson saw in action on Monday and told us ?he?s not much. Average fighter who is not in the same class as Fernandez.?
A back-to-back SEA Games gold medalist Fernandez proved too much for Yakub Meredov of Turkmenistan, jolting him several times with left-right combinations to score a 30-27 sweep on the scorecards of all three judges.
Rogen Ladon, a bronze medalist in the World Championships in Doha last year was somewhat disappointing in his last fight against his Japanese opponent Tosho Kashiwasaki and allowed the Japanese to set the tempo before eking out a 29-28 decision on the scorecards of two judges and a lopsided 30-27 on the third judge?s tally.
Ladon who is seeded No. 1 in the light flyweight division was instructed to ?not take his Iraqi opponent lightly and ?not to get it into his head that he is a pushover. Bring the fight to him and bludgeon him.?
