Eumir Marcial wins after the Referee stops the contest
Filipino Boxer Eumir Marcial won his opening fight only 2 minutes and 41 seconds into the match. In the 75kg Middleweight category at the Tokyo Olympics.
When the referee stopped the fight against his Algerian opponent Younes Nemouchi, an alleged headbutt caused blood to pour from a cut above Nemouchi’s eyebrow.
As a result, and due to COVID-19 and health safety reasons, the referee stopped the fight.
Nemouchi had qualified for the Olympics via the African boxing qualifying match. He had been a late replacement for his injured countryman at the African qualifiers.
Nemouchi had won his first fight against Kavunu Ssemujju of Uganda 5-0.
He then faced Eumir in a bye. A bye is a term given in Boxing when there is an uneven number of opponents in a tournament structure, so some athletes start later in the competition as they have no opponent in the first round.
Marcial, the world’s 2019 silver medalist in the Middle Weight division, now progresses to the quarterfinals to face world #5 Arman Darchinyan of Armenia. Arman has won his last 2 Olympic fights.
Marcial, along with fellow Filipinos Hidilyn Diaz (Gold), Nesthy Petecio, Margielyn Didal, Carlos Yulo, and Elreen Ando, has made the Top 8 in their events this Olympic Games.
