Disaster struck Team Philippines Sunday night when flyweight Violito Payla and light welterweight Florencio Ferrer absorbed stinging losses from superior rivals in the quarterfinals of the 26th King’s Cup International Boxing Championships in Bangkok, Thailand.

Payla slugged it out with 2003 World Cup champion Somjit Jongjohor of Thailand but ended up short, absorbing a 16-22 loss while Ferrer bowed to Russian Oleg Issarov, with RSC-OS (Referee Stopped Contest-Outscored).

That left Harry Tañamor to carry on the fight for the six-man squad.
