Pinoy Boxer Saludar Wins PHL’s 3rd Gold in the 2010 Asian Games
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.
Aside from bringing honor to the country, Saludar will also receive an incentive from the government and Rep. Manny Pacquiao.
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.
