The promising SEA Games bronze medallist Su Myat Noe moved down to the bantamweight (54kg) but she stopped all of her opponents.
Kay Thwe Nyein moved up to the light welterweight (63kg) last year and she earned a bronze at the Southeast Asian Games therefore she was too experienced Ei Ei Htwe in the national final.

Zaw Myint Moe is a National Champion and he represented Myanmar in several international competitions, mostly at the bantamweight (54kg). He went down to the flyweight (51kg) and the experienced boxer defeated Thein Tun Zaw of Air Force unanimously.
