[Title] => Salazar robbed of gold; RP pugs settle for silver, bronze
[Summary] => SEREMBAN, Malaysia – Light flyweight Lhyven Salazar, who put up what his coaches claimed was a winning performance, settled for the silver medal after being outpointed by a pressure-punching South Korean at the close of the 21st World Amateur Boxing Championship here Tuesday.
The Philippine anthem was not played but the national flag rose twice in the award rites after the eight-man RP-Caltex team collected two medals – a silver and a bronze – in the tough tournament participated in by 29 nations.

[Title] => Salazar fights for gold in Asian meet
[Summary] => SEREMBAN, Malaysia – Two Filipino boxers blazed their way into the finals of the Asian Amateur Boxing Championship on Monday but only one between the two brilliant sons of poor parents from Negros was given the nod to go for the gold medal.
The lucky guy was light flyweight Lhyven Salazar, a sweet-punching sidewalk vendor’s son from Bacolod who outclassed Myanmar’s Kyaw Swar Aung to arrange a gold medal duel yesterday with peppery Hong Moo Won of South Korea.

[Title] => Two RP boxers overpower foes
[Summary] => SEREMBAN, Malaysia – Team Caltex of the Philippines drove hard into the win column Thursday as light flyweight Lhyven Salazar dominated his Indian foe before bantamweight Ferdie Gamo retired a pesky Sri Lankan in Day 3 of the 21st Asian Amateur Boxing Championships here.
The 26-year-old Gamo, a Navyman from Bago City, was raining hefty combinations on Wannia Rachi midway in the second round when the whistle signaled that the Filipino had already amassed a 15-point margin over the Sri Lankan who innocently protested the stoppage.
