The slot in the Beijing Olympics remained elusive for Joan Tipon.

And again, it was his chief rival, Thai star Worapoj Petchkoom, who denied the Bacolod City-born pug a precious berth with a 9-6 triumph in the bantamweight semifinals of the AIBA Asian Boxing Olympic Qualifiers in Bangkok , Thailand .

But the Thai star's victory was far from convincing as reports from Bangkok said that Tipon went all out in the final round only to ran out of time in the end with Petchkoom dancing away from trouble.
