DAVAO CITY (July 27) – Nesty “Nesh” Petecio of Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur will fight Yeni Arias of Colombia at 10 a.m. today in the XXXII Olympic quarterfinal round of women’s featherweight division at the Kokugikan Arena in Japan. The winner will enter the semifinals and will be assured of a medal finish.

In her first bout, the 29-year-old Petecio defeated Democratic Republic of Congo’s Marcelat Sakobi Matshu.
