SEA Games: Brotherhood, John Marvin loss fire up Eumir Marcial in victory

MANILA, Philippines--When Eumir Marcial stepped into the ring against Malaysia's Che Azmi Mohd Aswan in the men's middleweight semifinals on Friday, he was fighting not just for himself and the Filipino people.

"Sobrang close kami," Marcial said of Marvin, who became a sensation for his quick knockout wins in the 2017 SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur. "Lahat ng paghihirap namin, magkasama kami, ‘yung training namin." "Noong first round pa lang, namaga na ‘yung kamay niya. Sabi ko, kahit na knock down siya, makabawi naman siya, kasi ‘yung training, andoon," Marcial said.
