A semifinal appearance in the Asian Games would have been enough for Nesthy Petecio to punch her ticket to the Paris Olympics
dropped her opening bout to Chinese Taipei’s Lin Yu Ting via split decision in the women’s 57kg class at the Hangzhou Gymnasium on Friday, September 29.
Petecio earned the nod from just one judge, while the other four scored it in favor of Lin, who won titles in the last two editions of the World Boxing Championships. Also a two-time Asian champion, Lin owned the opening round and did just enough in the last two frames to claim the 30-27, 30-27, 29-28, 29-28, 28-29 victory in their round of 16 match.
The loss denied Petecio a chance to win her first Asian Games medal and contend for an outright berth in the Paris Olympics next year.Petecio became the latest Filipino boxer to get eliminated, joining Aira Villegas, Mark Ashley Fajardo, Irish Magno, Aaron Jude Bado, Riza Pasuit, and Marjon Pianar. Carlo Paalam, Eumir Marcial, and John Marvin are still in the running in their respective weight classes.
