AMATEUR BOXING / ASIA'S OLYMPIC QUALIFYING TOURNAMENT
Angkarn moves into quarters
Worapoj faces Han Soon Chul of South Korea today
Angkarn Chomphupuang cruised into the quarter-finals with a comfortable 17-5 win over Bezatbek Isaev of Kyrgyzstan at Asia's Olympic qualifying round yesterday.
Angkarn dominated the fight from the start and had few problems against Isaev in the middleweight division at Dhurakij Pundit University.
Angkarn, who replaced injured Suriya Prasathhinphimai on the eve of the tournament, said he was happy with his performance in his first attempt to qualify for the Olympics.
"I want to go as far as I can. I don't want to disappoint Thai fans," said Angkarn who next takes on Hassan Karkardi of Iran.
Angkarn Chomphupuang cruises into the quarter-finals.
More than 100 boxers from 28 countries are chasing 19 Olympic spots in 10 weight classes.
The finallists in light-flyweight to light-heavyweight earn tickets to the 2008 Olympics, while in heavyweight only the champion gets a berth.
Angkarn, who had fought in welterweight (69kg), was originally assigned to compete in the light-heavyweight division (81kg) but had to move down to the middleweight class (75kg) when Suriya got injured.
Olympic light-welterweight champion Manus Boonjumnong and Olympic bantamweight silver medallist Worapoj Petchkoom are the two other Thais in the tournament.
Worapoj meets Han Soon Chul of South Korea in today's first round. In the semi-finals, he is likely to meet Joan Tipon of the Philipines.
Tipon defeated Worapoj in the final at the 2006 Asian Games but the Thai avenged the loss with a win over the Filipino at the 2007 World Championships in Chicago.
Taweep Jantararoj, president of the Amateur Boxing Association of Thailand, said Manus and Worapoj were better bets than Angkarn.

BOXING / OLYMPIC QUALIFICATION TOURNAMENT
Manus books quarter-final spot
Angkarn confident ahead of today's clash
Olympic light-welterweight champion Manus Boonjumnong registered an easy 24-7 first round win over Jordan's Bfarja Matoboreli yesterday during a Beijing Games qualifying tournament at Dhurakij Pundit University.
The 27-year-old from Ratchaburi said he was pleased with his performance, especially as he had been dumped out of last year's World Amateur Championships in the first round.
''I was satisfied with the way that I boxed,'' said Manus.
''I am fully fit and want to prove that I am ready to go to Beijing this year.''
Manus will next meet Turkmenistan's Sahatov Berdymurad in the quarter-finals after he saw off Malaysia's Paunandes Paulus 23-2.
He said he had seen Berdymurad train in Thailand and that he expects a tough fight.
Manus needs to reach the final of this tournament if he hopes to defend his title in Beijing in August.
Also at light-welterweight, Asian Games silver medalist Shin Myung-Hoon of South Korea suffered a shock 29-15 defeat to China's Qiong Maimaitituersun.
Qiong will take on Artkov Zokir of Uzbekistan in the quarter-finals.
Many are predicting Artkov will face Manus in the final on February 2.
Today, Angkarn Chomphupoung is up against Maovaddav Abbas of Pakistan in a middleweight quarter-final.
Even though Angkarn is a substitution for injured Suriya Prasathinpimai, he predicts an easy victory.
''This guy is not too tough to handle and I am going to beat him,'' said 25-year-old Angkarn.
India's Vijender Mahipal faces Korean ChoDeok-Jin in an another quarter-final today.
Bantamweight Worapoj Petchkoom is up against Holmuratov Ulugbek of Uzbekistan.
Amateur Boxing Association of Thailand (ABAT) president Taweep Jantararoj is confident that all three Thais will reach the finals and secure places at the Olympics.
The mood was considerably darker in the Filipino camp yesterday after Genebert Basadre (lightweight) and Adam Bigornia Fiel (light-welterweight) were beaten.
Asian Games bronze medalist Basadre lost 22-10 to Qing Hu of China while Bigornia Fiel was defeated by Tubshinbat Byamba of Mongolia.
The Philippines had hoped to secure at least two Olympic berths for their five boxers from this tournament.
They had trained intensively and skipped the December SEA Games to prepare but only Joan Tipon has made it through to the quarter-finals.

Akhil gets closer to book Olympic berth
Bangkok, Jan. 28: Commonwealth Games gold medallist Akhil Kumar stands just a win away from booking a Beijing Olympic berth after easing into the semifinals of the Asian Boxing Qualifiers here on Monday.
The bantam weight pugilist out-scored his Kazakh opponent Mukhit Amantayev in the third round of his quarterfinal bout to continue a successful return from an injury layoff. The Haryana boxer will next take on Korea’s Chol Han Soon in the semis on February 1 and a win would not just assure him of a silver medal but also a berth in the Olympics.
However, curtains came down on Doha Asiad bronze winner in middle-weight category — Vijender — who was knocked out in the quarterfinals. The 22-year-old fought hard but could not upstage his Korean rival Jin Cho Deok, going down 9-17. Olympian Diwakar Prasad will try to square off against Iranian Houman Karami in the 60kg quarterfinals on Tuesday. In 48kg category Amandeep Singh — who scored a knock-out win in the first round — will take on Mongolian Serdamba Purevroj

Tipon stings like a bee, sets up duel with Thai
By DANTE NAVARRO
The Philippine Star
BANGKOK – Bantamweight Joan Tipon toyed with an inexperienced Mukamamad Ali of Pakistan, firing away shots to the head and body and essaying an RSC-O (Referee Stopped Contest-Outscored) victory to advance to the semifinal round of the first AIBA Asian Boxing Olympic Qualifying tournament here Monday.
Tipon, 25, hardly worked out a sweat in fashioning out the abbreviated win in 1:30 of the third round in a 21-1 victory that kept his bid for an Olympic berth alive after four of his teammates fell one after the other in what could be a disastrous stint by the RP Smart-PLDT boxing team in the first of two Asian Olympic elims.
"If he keeps his form, he can make it to Beijing," said coach Pat Gaspi.
One win separates Tipon from achieving a dream stint in the Olympics but standing in the way of the Talisay City native is perhaps the most dreaded fighter in the 54-kg division.
Thai ace Worapoj Petchkoom, a silver medalist in the Athens Olympics, pounded out a 22-10 victory over a tough Homuratov Ulugbek of Uzbekistan earlier to reach the semis before a boisterous crowd at the Dhurakij Punjit University.
The two rivals will thus meet for the third time in the last three years but this one, slated Friday, should rank the most in terms of significance and weight with no less than an Olympic slot at stake.
Tipon nipped Petchkoom in a thrilling semifinal encounter in the Asian Games in Doha in 2006 that ended in a 13-all tie with the lanky Filipino clinching the all-important win in a tiebreak.
He went on to beat Korean Han Soon Chul to capture the gold medal, the country’s second in the sport after Violito Payla’s triumph in the flyweight division.
But Petchkoom got back at Tipon in last year’s World Championships in Chicago, also an Olympic qualifier, with the Thai fighter pulling off a 13-5 decision but losing his Olympic bid with a setback in the second round.
"We just hope Tipon will reach peak form by Friday," said Gaspi.
The way he frolicked over Ali, Tipon should be on top of his game by Friday.
Tipon, who clobbered Jordan’s Ebraheem Algharageer, 13-2, to advance to the quarters Saturday, stamped his class over Ali right in the opening bell, flicking away hooks and straights against the Pakistani, who was helpless against the Filipino’s aggressive fighting style.
Tipon, connecting on 1-2 combinations and moving from side-to-side to elude his rival’s punches, took a 9-0 lead in the first round, piled up seven more points in the second while yielding a hit when Ali connected on a combination in a brief exchange in the middle.
But by the time the fight reached the third round, it was clear that Tipon would only need a little more time – and some punches – to dispose of the badly outclassed Pakistani
"I’m okay," said the soft-spoken Tipon, the last man standing in a five-man team that came here with so much hope but could end up in despair following a string of losses by Payla, featherweight Orlando Tacuyan Jr., lightweight Genebert Basadre and lightwelter Adam Fiel.
Only the finalists in nine divisions plus the gold medalist in the heavyweight class will clinch berths in the Beijing Olympics.
The Philippines, with one boxing entry in the Olympics in lightfly Harry Tañamor, will try for the last time in April when the second and last Asian Qualifying is held in Kazakhstan.
