                    [Title] => Joan tipped as Olympic medalist
                    [Summary] => 



Asian Games boxing gold medalist Roberto Jalnaiz said yesterday bantamweight Joan Tipon is the country’s best bet to hit pay dirt at the 2008 Beijing Olympics because of his style, long arms, heart and precision punching.


Jalnaiz, who claimed the Philippines’ only gold medal as a bantamweight at the Beijing Asiad in 1990, said Tipon fights like Thailand’s three-time Olympian Somluck Kamsing.

Tipon faces Korea’s Han Soon Chul for the gold medal in the bantamweight division at the Asian Games in Doha today.

Somluck, 28, who won the 57 kg gold in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, is now part of a running drama series on TV and, according to Thai journalists here, was paid 3 million baht or roughly $66,000 for his newfound talent.
