Paul Julyfer Bascon and Aira Villegas made their title campaign felt while Tokyo Olympics silver medalist Nesthy Petecio bowed out early at the start of the 74th Strandja International Boxing Tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria Monday, Feb. 20.
Bascon, a 25-year-old pride of Davao Del Norte, flashed his brilliance in the men’s 60kg lightweight division with a 4-1 triumph over hometown bet Tinko Banabakov, while Villegas dominated Argentina’s Milagros Tatiana Flores, 5-0, to advance to the next round of the women’s 50kg light flyweight class.

Villegas, for her part, earned a quarterfinal berth in the 16-player field and arranged a meeting with France’s Wassila Lkhadiri, who clobbered Ireland’s Carly McNaul, 5-0.
