                    [Summary] => 



DOHA — Violita Payla goes up for a career-defining win against old tormentor ace Somjit Jongjohor for the boxing gold in flyweight division, Cecil Mamiit tries to press his bid for a spot in tennis final which triple SEA Games gold medallist diver Sheila Mae Perez finally gets to see action in Day 12 of the Asian Games here Tuesday.


Payla has lost his previous two battles against Jongjohor but vowed to end the Thai’s domination with a fightplan similar to the one which stunned world beater Chinese Bo Yang in the semifinal round of the 51kg category Sunday.

DOHA — Flyweight Violito Payla crashed into the gold medal round with a devastating RSC-O (referee stopped contest-outscored) victory over Chinese Bo Yang, sustaining the RP boxers’ solid performance in the Asian Games here even as three Filipino bets gained in other fronts to stay in the medal hunt but some fell by the wayside Sunday.

DOHA — Battering the reigning Asian and World flyweight champion is one big feat for Chinese Bo Yang, who created quite a stir in boxing in the Asian Games here by eliminating Korean Lee Ok Sung, 41-21.


But Violito Payla isn’t worried a bit by Yang’s punching power, not to mention the Chinese bet’s advantage in height and reach. In fact, the Filipino fighter has set his sights on fighting Thai Somjit Jongjohor in the final of the 51kg division.

DOHA — As the sputtering Philippine campaign in the Asian Games started to pick up with three bronze medals at the end of Day 7 Thursday, Philippine Sports Commission chairman Butch Ramirez said the country remains on track of its projection heading into the final week of the 15th staging of the quadrennial event here.


"At least we’re already in the medal tally with the two bronze medals," said Ramirez as he stepped out of the Qatar Sports Club Indoor Hall where the taekwondo event was held.
