Marcial will battle Darchinyan at 11:36 a.m. in the men’s middleweight quarterfinals following his stoppage victory over Algeria’s Younes Nemouchi.
The 25-year-old booted Nemouchi out via Referee Stopped Contest-Injury with 19 seconds remaining in the first round to advance to the quarterfinals of the category where he’s the No. 1 seed.“I beat him in 2018 in Russia [world championships], but the Olympics are another story,” Marcial said. “Everyone here prepared hard for their matches.”Marcial turned pro in September last year and trained at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles for four months.
A win by Marcial would assure the Philippines its second boxing medal after women’s featherweight Nesthy Petecio advanced to the gold medal round via a split-decision win over Italy’s Irma Testa on Saturday.In the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, the Philippines won 3 bronze medals courtesy of Simeon Toribio , bantamweight boxer José Luis Villanueva, and swimmer Teófilo Yldefonso ."Marcial has the mental edge.
