Talisay fighter bows to
Aussie-raised foe
BY NIDA BUENAFE
Raymond Intal of Talisay City put up a good fight but was simply outclassed yesterday by Robin Pelileo, an Australia-raised Filipino boxer seeing action in the featherweight (57 kgs) category of the 2009 National Amateur Boxing Championships at the Negros Occidental Multipurpose Activity Center.
It was a good fight and Pelileo delivered what was expected of him, said former Olympian Ricardo Fortaleza, who helped train Pelileo and other boxers of Black Town Hit Squad in New South Wales, Australia. Also joining the tournament with Pelileo is Afghan boxer Bashir Sadia who also trained with Fortaleza.

| Pagunsan sets eyes MANILA – Juvic Pagunsan hopes to brandish the same form he flaunted in ruling The Country Club Invitational in runaway fashion last year as he guns for a third crown in the P4.63 million event which fires off 21 January at the plush The Country Club course in Laguna. Pagunsan, 30, flashed superb form throughout the four-day championship at one of the country’s toughest courses, outclassing a field teeming with talents, including the eminent Frankie Minoza, and posting a record 11-stroke victory over veteran Asian Tour campaigner and former champion Angelo Que. “I am confident of my chances again but I think it will be difficult this time,” said the smooth-swinging Pagunsan, who broke into the Asian Tour limelight by topping the Pertamina Indonesia President Invitational and barely winning the year-ending Volvo Masters of Asia in 2007. |
