Philippine Army asserted its dominance in boxing by clinching five gold medals in the 2023 ROTC Games National Championships inside the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex on Thursday, Oct. 26.
With all five matches being disputed by Army fighters, it was a battle of who came in more prepared to deliver the goods for their squads.
The 20-year-old University of Baguio student pounced on her rival with shots to the body to prevail over a rival that she met for the first time. Kristine Grace Marquez, meanwhile, hardly broke a sweat in bagging the women’s feather 54-57kg with a referee-stopped-contest triumph over Riona Segundo right on the opening round.
Joel Efondo ruled the men’s fly 48-51kg over Vince Lomboy on points, while Florence Sumpay also took centerstage with a second-round RSC victory over Rodrigo Lumogda.
