MANILA, Philippines—Nesthy Petecio is headed to the semifinals after a dominant decision win over Japan’s Sena Irie, 4-1, in the featherweight quarterfinals of the  Aiba World Women’s Boxing Championships Thursday at Sports Complex in Ulan Ude, Russia.

The victory gave Petecio, who is assured of a bronze medal, massive retribution since losing to Irie in the Asian Boxing Championships in April this year in Bangkok.
