Muling inangkin ni Zhaina ang second round, 4-2, at ang third round, 7-4, para sa kanyang dopminasyon kay Petecio, sa naturang two-day tournament.

Nasa format ang paglahok ng top 4-ranked Asian women boxers sa bawat weight category.

Nakasama nina Petecio at Ap[arri sa torneo sina coach Mitchel Martinez at ABAP executive director Ed Picson.

“This is their first exposure in the year, and the luck of the draw had them against the top seeds right away. The fact that our girls gave them a tough time gives us lessons on what to work on in the coming months,” sabi ni Piczon.
