                    [Summary] => 


DOHA — Francis Joven gets the credit, or the other way around, as the first Filipino to take on a Thai fighter as he tries to join his five other teammates in the quarterfinal round of the boxing competitions at the Aspire Hall 5 here today.


Joven, 24, drew a bye in the first round but was rewarded with a face-off with Angkhan Chomphuphuang, a relatively new member of the Thai squad who made his mark with a 22-16 victory over Joo Jung Kim of Korea in the welterweight elims Saturday.

The formidable task for Olympic glory, in fact, starts off early Saturday when middleweight Chris Camat, the designated RP flag bearer in the opening rites of the Athens Games Friday, goes up against current European champ Gaydarbek Gaydarbekov of Russia who was also the silver medallist in the division in Sydney four years ago.

Payla, supposedly the brightest medal hope of Team Caltex, fought well against Pakistan’s Nouman Karim, exchanging hard, powerful punches with the fighter whom he could have, should have and would have beaten on any given day.

To many, the fight should have been Payla’s, and to some, it could have gone either way.

Payla, a 23-year-old Armyman from Cagayan de Oro, toyed with Korean No. 2 Kim Chun Ho to hack out a 15-10 decision while catching the fancy of the organizers and other contestants here with his ring savvy.

Whether the judges scored all of Rzany’s shots — real or imagined — or ignored Payla’s hits, nobody would know. The sure thing is the 18-14 setback that Payla took was a bitter pill to swallow.
