Albert misses Golden Gloves

SEMARANG (JP): Veteran boxer Albert Papilaya missed the light
heavyweight semifinals match of the Golden Gloves championships
on Tuesday because he had to attend the Police Staff and
Leadership School (Sespimpol) in Bandung.

Albert works as a police officer during the day and was
required at the school in order to be given promotion in the
force. His absence enabled Dedy Wikaso of West Java to cruise
through to the final bout.

In the lightweight semifinals, Yosia Pujiono of Central Java
outclassed Hendra Novisa of North Sumatra 7-1 to meet David
Iskewar of Jakarta. David achieved a 5-4 victory over Marwan
Muling of Aceh.

Meanwhile, Deddy Chandra of North Sumatra had a 5-4 victory
over Melky Lelemboto of North Sulawesi in the flyweight
semifinal. In the final, Deddy will face Suwardoyo of Central
Java who beat Karela Muskanan of East Nusa Tenggara 5-4.

Bonik Saweno of North Sulawesi dominated his light flyweight
semifinal by achieving a 13-1 victory over Denny Hitariun of East
Nusa Tenggara. In the final, Bonik will challenge M. Rusli of
South Sulawesi who defeated Abudanta of Central Java 23-29.

In the featherweight semifinals, Gusti Roman of West Java
defeated B. Simorangkir of North Sumatra, 7-2. (har)
