 | | But the RP celebration was cut short when Junard Ladon lost to Terukado Shoyama of Japan, 20-33, in a 57-kg (featherweight) bout the Filipino clearly won. |
 | | For four rounds, Ladon, a native of Bago City, engaged his rival in a series of vicious, toe-to-toe exchanges, coming away with the more effective combinations. |
 | | "Pera na, naging bato pa (I lost a golden chance)," said Ladon, a member of the Philippine Navy whose stint in the meet serving as Asia's final Olympic qualifying tournament was also supported by his superiors Admiral Ernesto de Leon, BNS Captain Francasio Alfonso and Capt. Pablo Acasio. |
