Pinoy Boxer Saludar Wins PHL's 3rd Gold in the 2010 Asian Games
Filipino boxer Rey Saludar won the country's 3rd gold medal in the ongoing 16th Asian games in Guangzhou, China.
Saludar bested Chinese boxer Yong Chang with a nerve-wracking 13-11 win in the Men's 52 kg. gold medal bout at the Foshan Gymnasium.
The hometown boy ruled round 1 but our very own Saludar battled back with a flurry of punches in the 2nd Round, scoring 9 points against the Chinese's 3.
Saludar played it safe in round 3 but Chang was able to outscore him, 3-6. Fortunately, it was not enough.
The Philippines now have a total of 3 golds, 3 silvers and 9 bronzes. It's 1 gold and 3 silvers away to improve its 18th place finish in Doha, Qatar Asiad, where it won 4 gold, 6 silver and 9 bronze medals.
