Ian Clark Bautista wins gold, Magno, Ladon, Pasuit bring home silver in boxing medal rush

Filipino boxers on Saturday copped four medals from the 32nd Southeast Asian Games on Saturday in Cambodia.

Ian Clark Bautista bagged the country's lone gold medal from Saturday's boxing matches as he won via unanimous decision against Indonesia's Asri Udin for the gold medal of the men's 57kg event.

Rogen Ladon, earlier, fell to Thailand's Thanarat Saengphet in the men's 51kg finals to settle for a silver medal.

Olympian Irish Magno, meanwhile, lost to Thailand's Jutamas Jitpong in the women's 54kg, while Riza Pasuit was defeated by Vietnam's Thi Linh Ha in the women's 63kg division for both Filipino boxers to claim silver.

The medal rush for boxing, however, will not end yet as five more medals are up for grabs for the Philippines on Sunday, with Olympic silver medalists Carlo Paalam and Nesthy Petecio leading the national team campaign.
