In his toughest fight so far, Tokyo Olympics silver medalist Carlo Paalam went through a wringer on Thursday, May 30, turning back Armenia’s Artur Bazeyan in their 57kg encounter and advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2nd World Olympic Qualifying Tournament at the Hua Mak Indoor Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
“Ibibigay ko ang buong best ko, para sa Pilipinas kong mahal,” said Paalam, who was deducted a point in the last round that proved crucial. ABAP secretary-general Marcus Manalo explained how Paalam arrived at a favorable 4-1 verdict even though three judges turned in identical scores. “So, after three rounds, one judge gave it to Carlo, the other one to the Armenian, and it was tied 28-all with 3 judges.
