MANILA, Philippines--The Philippine boxing team won&#x27;t go 10-for-10 on Monday after Irish Magno lost to Vietnam&#x27;s Thi Tam Nguyen in the women&#x27;s flyweight finals in the 30th Southeast Asian Games.Later in the day, fellow Filipina Riza Pasuit also settled for a silver after dropping a close split decision to Thailand&#x27;s Sudaporn Seesondee in their women&#x27;s lightweight final.Magno struggled to land clean punches against her taller, rangier opponent, and Nguyen wound up taking a majority decision.&quot;Sa first round medyo nahirapan ako kasi sobrang tangkad niya,&quot; acknowledged Magno. &quot;Pero pinag-aralan naman namin ni coach at ginawa ko naman kung anong sinabi nila.&quot;&quot;Pero &#x27;yun nga, di natin hawak &#x27;yung ano ng mga judges. Tayo naglalaro lang, sila ang nakakaalam,&quot; she added.This is the second time that Magno had lost to Nguyen; they previously met in the 2018 Thailand Open.&quot;Ito sana &#x27;yung chance na makabawi, pero &#x27;yun nga, hindi pa rin pinalad,&quot; she rued.Meanwhile, Pasuit struggled to land clean shots against Seesondee, and an aggressive effort in the third round was not enough to win her the bout.&quot;Pasensiya na hanggang silver lang ang nakayanan ko, babawi na lang ako sa susunod,&quot; Pasuit said.<div>For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.</div>
