Olympics: Hidilyn Diaz a big inspiration to Eumir Marcial, Team PH

The Filipino boxer was coming off a dominant performance in his debut in the men's middleweight division, where he won via RSC over Algeria's Younes Nemouchi. Marcial knocked down his foe a minute into the fight, and won when the ringside doctor wouldn't let Nemouchi continue as he was bleeding from a cut above his right eye.

"Sobrang ang laking bagay na nanalo si Ate Hidi," Marcial told Paolo del Rosario of Cignal TV shortly after his bout. "Unang-una, kababayan ko po siya, taga-Zamboanga. At kasamahan ko po siya sa Philippine Air Force."Marcial will take on Armenia's Arman Darchinyan on Sunday, with an eye towards progressing to the medal rounds.

"Sa lahat ng mga kasama ko diyan, alam niyo naman si Ate, supportive si Ate. Alam kong kaya niyo 'yan. Nagawa ni Ate eh, ni Ate niyo, ni Ate Hidi na manalo ng gold medal, so less pressure na 'yan sa inyo," Diaz said on Thursday, during an online news forum hosted by the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines.
