Joan Tipon (born April 9, 1982) is an amateur boxer from the Philippines who won gold at the 2006 Doha Asian Games in the Bantamweight (under 54 kg.) division. He is a native of the province of Negros Occidental.

Career

Tipon also competed at the 2005 Southeast Asian Games held in Bacolod, Philippines and won the gold medal in the same division against Tangtong Klongjian of Thailand 24-5.[1]

At the Asian Games 2006 he upset Worapoj Petchkoom and beat Han Soon Chul of Korea in the final 21-10.[2]

At the World Championships 2007 he lost in the first round against Worapoj Petchkoom 5:13.

As of 2012, Tipon is now a full time trainer for people who wanted to play boxing. He stated that: "Gusto kong magustuhan ng tao ang paglalaro ng boxing kasabay nito ay ang Ibahagi sa kanila ang salita ng Diyos" ("I'd like people to enjoy the sport of boxing and at the same time Share with them the word of God ")

gollark: What do Linux users do to change a lightbulb?First, a user creates a bug report, only for it to be closed with "could not reproduce" as the developers got to it in the day. Eventually, some nights later, someone realizes that it is actually a problem, and decides to start work on a fix, soliciting the help of other people.Debates soon break out on the architecture of the new lightbulb - should they replace it with an incandescent bulb (since the bulb which broke was one of those), try and upgrade it to a halogen or LED bulb, which are technically superior if more complex. or go to a simpler and perhaps more reliable solution such as a fire?While an LED bulb is decided on, they eventually, after yet more debate, deem off-the-shelf bulbs unsuitable, and decide to make their own using commercially available LED modules. However, some of the group working on this are unhappy with this, and splinter off, trying to set up their own open semiconductor production operation to produce the LEDs.Despite delays introduced by feature creep, as it was decided halfway through to also add RGB capability and wireless control, the main group still manages to produce an early alpha, and tests it as a replacement for the original bulb. Unfortunately it stops working after a few days of use, and debugging of the system suggests that the problem is because of their power supply - the bulb needs complex, expensive, and somewhat easily damaged circuitry to convert the mains AC power into DC suitable for the LEDs, and they got that bit a bit wrong.So they decide to launch their own power grid and lighting fixture standard, which is, although incompatible with every other device, technically superior, and integrates high-speed networking so they can improve the control hardware. Having completely retrofitted the house the original lightbulb failed in and put all their designs and code up on GitHub, they deem the project a success, and after only a year!

gollark: Minetest is already a thing.

gollark: It really isn't.
