Nesthy Petecio respects judges’ verdict after settling for SEA Games bronze
Filipina Olympian Nesthy Petecio won a bronze medal in the 2025 Southeast Asian Games after losing to Indonesian boxer Hasanah Huswatun in the women's 63kg semifinals by a 3-2 split decision.
Petecio, competing in a heavier weight class for the first time in nearly a year following a break after the 2024 Paris Olympics, expressed respect for the judges' decision but later suggested biased scoring.
She noted that her speed and strength were still present despite the weight gain, and she only trained for almost one month for the competition.
Another Filipino boxer, Flint Jara, also secured a bronze medal in the men's 54kg division.
