[Title] => Tanamor boxing’s last ace
[Summary] => BUSAN — Team Caltex is running out of gas.
Lightweight Anthony Igusquiza and middleweight Maraon Goles both failed to go the distance Wednesday and kissed their medal hopes goodbye in the 14th Asian Games here.
Fighting in the quarterfinal round and hoping for at least a bronze, the two Filipino fighters were simply outpunched, outclassed and overpowered by their respective opponents as they joined five other teammates in the sidelines at the Masan Gymnasium.

[Title] => Cagers, boxers save day for RP
[Summary] => BUSAN – The Philippines got a big scare in basketball, struck hard in boxing, got stuck in rowing but was doing pretty well in billiards, too.
This, in a nutshell, described the performance of the Filipino athletes in the 14th Asian Games Wednesday with the basketball team plucking a victory, the third straight for the all-PBA squad, that helped the Philippines avoid a dreaded semifinal confrontation with undisputed champion and NBA-flavored China.

[Title] => RP pugs go thru eye of needle
[Summary] => BUSAN, South Korea — Ain’t so lucky was the kind of break the Philippines got Tuesday during the drawing of lots for the boxing competitions of the 14th Asian Games here.
The draw was held in one of the high-rise buildings inside the athletes’ village with the Philippine coaching staff leaving the room confident but not necessarily happy.
"Dadaan tayo sa butas ng karayom. Pero bakbakan ito," said Nolito Velasco on behalf of head coach Gregorio Caliwan who had to leave earlier to oversee the team practice.

[Title] => No less than gold for ‘big little men’
[Summary] => BUSAN — Harry Tanamor and Violito Payla have a lot of things in common: they both grew up in the province, learned to box at an early age, were firm in joining the Philippine Army, and are both first-timers in the Asian Games.
But the greatest similarity between the two boxers, fondly called as the " big little men" of Team Caltex, is their burning desire to whip the opposition and win the gold — whenever, wherever they compete.
The 14th Asian Games here is no different.

[Title] => Heart, desire to make difference for Pinoy pugs
[Summary] => The failure of the RP boxers to deliver in the 2000 Sydney Olympics and in last year’s Kuala Lumpur Southeast Asian Games is now water under the bridge.
Manny Lopez, president of the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines, even wants these sad, painful experiences to serve as the biggest motivating factor for his wards in this month’s Asian Games.

[Title] => Caltex fuels boxers’ quest for gold
[Summary] => Three years ago, the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines, losing major sponsors to fund its grassroots development program as the economy plunged, got some piece of advice from a media man to try knocking at the door of Caltex Philippines.
The company at that time was into motorsports – motocross, rallycross, superbike – and boxing was an entirely new sport for a firm whose corporate strategy called for the need to identify its brand – Delo and the Caltex gasoline – with sports like car racing.
