RP National pool sasalang sa 2 international tourney

Patuloy na nagpapalakas ang Amateur Boxing Asso-ciation of the Philippines sa nalalapit na Southeast Asian Games sa pagpapadala ng National team aspirants sa dalawang international tourna-ment sa susunod na buwan.

Ang six-man squad na binubuo ng Olympians na sina light flyweight Harry Tanamor, flyweight Violito Payla, ban-tamweight Rolando Magba-nua, lightweight Anthony Mar-cial, light welterweight Floren-cio Ferrer at middleweight Francis Joven ay lalahok sa 27th King’s Cup sa Thailand sa April 6 hanggang 11.

Ang koponan na patungo sa Thailand ay igigiya nina coach Leopoldo Cantancio at Elmer Pamisa at pamumu-nuan ni ABAP president Manny T. Lopez.

Isa pang grupo, ang 7-man team na pamamahalaan nina coach Nolito Velasco at Vicente Arcenal at binubuo nina light fly Godfrey Castro, fly Warlito Parrenas, bantam Joan Tipon, feather Junard Ladon, lightweight Genebert Basadre, light welter Mark Jason Melligen at nagbabalik na si welter Reynaldo Galido at delegation head Liberato Reyna ay bibiyahe naman sa Turkey para sa Ahmet Comert tournament sa Istanbul, Turkey sa April 19 hanggang 25.

"The results from these two tournaments will be part of the basis for the composition of the National squad which will see action in the Manila Southeast Asian Games in November this year. Hopefully, we will get good results from these events after a disastrous stint in Azerbaijan recently," pahayag ni Lopez.
