Filipino amateur boxers are looking forward to a good showing in the coming 26th Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) in Indonesia.
Amateur boxing has been one of the Philippines’ medal-rich events in SEAG.
The country garnered 9 medals – 5 golds, 1 silvers, and 3 bronzes – in the last edition of SEAG in Laos.
The Philippine team, which recently finished its training in England, admitted that it would be difficult to duplicate the feat.
ABAP will field to SEAG a 10-man team composed of 6 male and 4 female boxers.
Among the 10, Josie Gabuco, Alice Apari and Nesthy Petecio are favored to garner medals for the country.
Male boxers Charlie Suarez, Rey Saludar and 18-year-old Olympic qualifier Mark Anthony Barriga are also expected to deliver.
ABAP said the biennial event will be a good momentum boost for the 2012 Asian Olympic qualifiers before the 2012 London Olympics.
