                    [Summary] => KARACHI, PAKISTAN–It’s every athlete’s dream to see the word "Olympian" attached to his resume, lightflyweight Harry Tañamor included. 


Now the Filipino pug gets the perfect chance to finally earn that tag.

A pumped-up Tañamor of the RP-Alaxan FR team shoots for a final seat and an automatic berth in the Athens Games as he battles Uzbekistan’s Namajonov Otabek in the semifinals of the third Asian Olympic qualifying boxing tournament (Green Hill Cup) at the KPT Sports Complex here.

The end result had the RP-Alaxan FR team down to a three-man unit as Gamo fell down to Vietnam Southeast Asian Games gold medalist Worapoj Petchkoom, 23-12, in their bantamweight fight at the KPT Sports Complex.

Gamo, of Bago City, fought Petchkoom aggressively, tagging his Thai foe with frequent left-right combinations to the head and crisp shots to the body.

Payla, the hard-hitting southpaw from Cagayan de Oro, fought as cold as the weather which dropped to -2 degrees Celsius Wednesday night, needing to come up with jarring hooks and solid straights in the last two rounds to turn back Kraysztof Rogowski, 12-10, in their flyweight clash.

The five-day event, a world-ranking tournament, actually kicks off the team’s buildup for next year’s Asian Games in Pusan, South Korea where it hopes to redeem itself from that Kuala Lumpur debacle where it failed to bag a gold medal for the first time in SEAG participation.
