Aparri crushes Viet, faces old foe in semis - The Philippine Star » News » Sports: "ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia – Alice Kate Aparri relied on her experience and ring savvy to fend off a gritty Tuyet Mai Nguyen Thi of Vietnam, 25-14, and join compatriot Nesthy Petecio in the semifinal round of the sixth Asian Women’s Boxing Championships here Thursday.
Although the final tally appeared lopsided for the Baguio native, it was actually an action-packed affair with the game Vietnamese slugging it out with Aparri, trailing by just two after the first round, 5-3. But the ABAP-PLDT team mainstay asserted her might in the second, padding her lead to 12-6 before closing out the third at 17-10 en route to victory.
Aparri’s win thus made it two out of three for the PLDT-ABAP national team in the semifinals of the tournament set Saturday."
