Reigning Southeast Asian Games flyweight champion Rogen Ladon guns for at least a silver finish even as four other Filipino boxers aim for the same in the 2022 Thailand Open International Boxing Tournament on Friday.
Mr. Ladon takes on hometown bet Thanarat Saengphet in the men’s fly semifinals scheduled as the opening match of the afternoon session starting at 1 p.m. while Ian Clark Bautista , Riza Pasuit , Aira Villegas and Hergie Bacyadan face separate opponents.
Mr. Ladon, 28, is not taking the much younger Mr. Saengphet lightly even though he already caught a glimpse of the Thai fighter’s potential as the two were sparring partners in the pre-tournament training camp held in Muak Lek District just outside Bangkok. Mr. Pasuit, who captured a silver in the SEAG held in Manila almost three years ago, squares off against Punam Rawal of Nepal after battering Zann Chee Wai Yee of Singapore, 5-0, in the quarters.
Leading the national boxing team’s campaign in this prestigious Thailand Open is coach Don Abnett together with coaches Ronald Chavez, Reynaldo Galido, Roel Velasco and Mitchel Martinez.
