Irish Magno had wished for an Olympic medal as a gift for her 30th birthday that happened to fall inside the first week of the Tokyo Games here.

Four judges scored the bout in favor of Jitpong, 30-27, while another had it 29-28.

Irish Magno found the range early and connected with bombs after bombs against hapless Kenyan foe Christine Ongare for an overwhelming unanimous decision that sent her to the Round of 16 of the 32nd Olympiad boxing competition.

Irish Magno on Sunday added to Nesthy Petecio's victory yesterday when she easily disposed of Kenyan Christine Ongare in the Women's Flyweight Round of 32 Preliminaries.

Nesthy Petecio will be featured in the kickoff bout in the Tokyo Olympics boxing competition Saturday, tangling with Congo’s Marcelat Sakobi Matshu at 11 a.m. (10 a.m. in Manila) at the Kokugikan Arena.
