Incredible bravado

Boxing is reportedly after a bold sweep of 10 golds, an incredible bravado that defies the presence of boxing powerhouse Thailand. Two-time Olympian light flyweight Harry Tañamor and Busan Asian Games bantamweight gold medalist Joan Tipon are about the only veterans in the six-man Philippine team seeing action in boxing.

In the distaff side, only recently crowned Asian Indoor women’s champion and defending SEA Games titlist Annie Albania is given an outside chance to deliver the gold in the four-woman lineup.

The Filipino boxers hope to regain respect in the biennial meet after the last SEA Games forgettable campaign that saw them winning only one gold medal courtesy of lady boxer Albania after the Filipinos forfeited the finals matches against the Thais.
