The Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) is “cautiously optimistic” as its 10-strong contingent defends its overall crown in the Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) against perennial rival Thailand and vastly-improved host Vietnam.

“We are proceeding with a lot of enthusiasm and focus hoping that we can maintain the same kind of excellence that we showed in Manila three years ago,” ABAP president Ed Picson said during Tuesday’s Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum.

Rio Olympian Rogen Ladon , Ian Clark Bautista , and Marjon Pianar join Mr. Marcial in the men’s hostilities while Ms. Petecio is with Josie Gabuco , Irish Magno , Risa Pasuit , and Hergie Bacyadan in the distaff side. “We’re cautiously optimistic. We would have wanted a more stringent preparation, but we have to work with what we have. The quality of preparation that we’re getting in Thailand is excellent and we hope that will make up for whatever shortcomings we’ve experienced in the prior months,” said Mr. Picson.
