Nemo expects Galido or Kamsing in SEAG<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Indonesia's best boxer, Nemo Michel Bahari, is
\nexpecting to take on Vincent Galido of the Philippines or Somluck
\nKamsing of Thailand in either the semifinal or final of the 18th
\nSoutheast Asian Games in Chiang Mai, Thailand, between Dec. 7 and
\nDec. 19.<\/p>\n
"Vincent remains a tough opponent for me," said the 20-year-
\nold featherweight champion yesterday. This year Nemo has beaten
\nVincent on points twice. The first time was in the final of the
\nPresident Cup tournament, and the second was in the semifinal of
\nthe Asian Amateur Boxing Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n
Nemo fell 4-3 to Kazakhstan's Tilegenov Bakhtiyar in the final
\nof the Asian boxing meet in Tashkent a few days ago.<\/p>\n
Nemo, whose left eye is still black due from Vincent's punches
\nin Tashkent, said that his winning chance against Vincent at the
\nSEA Games will depend on who is fitter.<\/p>\n
"Vincent can be extremely difficult to beat if he is in his
\nbest condition," said Nemo.<\/p>\n
"I'm looking forward to meeting him in Chiang Mai. But Somluck
\nKamsing may be more difficult to beat," said Nemo, who trains
\nwith his father and coach, Daniel Bahari, in Denpasar, Bali.<\/p>\n
So far, Asian Games gold medalist Somluck has beaten Nemo
\ntwice -- in last year's Asian Games in Hiroshima and in the Asian
\nAmateur Championships in Iran in January 1993 -- while Nemo has
\nbeaten Somluk once, in the Italy Open in March last year.<\/p>\n
If selected, the 18th SEA Games in Chiang Mai will be Nemo's
\nfirst SEA Games appearance. The Indonesian Boxing Association is
\nslated to finalize their selection of boxers for the upcoming SEA
\nGames tonight, in a meeting at the home of the association's
\nexecutive director, Imron Z.S. (arf)<\/p>",
