In time for the coming Christmas, a new star was born.

A new conqueror has made his debut in the professional world — meet Eumir Felix Marcial.

He is a new breed of Filipino boxer. He is rare, a gem that will soon become expensive after being moulded by time.

Bright future is set for the Pinoy Olympian who will take part for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics after his convincing debut as a professional boxer under the supervision of Manny Pacquiao and the Manny Pacquiao Promotions.

Second, Marcial is rare because he is competing in the middleweight division. Most of our boxers are in the lower weight classes.

This is an opportunity to showcase that Filipino can fight at a high level in the higher division.

In the middleweight, you have lots of great boxers that became part of the what-if opponents for Pacquiao. Guys like Saul “Canelo” Alvarez – the current pound-for-pound king and Gennady “Triple G” Golovkin.

It’s too early to compare Marcial to those top guys, hence, let us watch his debut highlights and in-depth.

The 25-year old Marcial fought the 29-year old Andrew Whitfield. It was scheduled for four-rounds and Marcial took home the victory with a unanimous decision.

Marcial displayed an aggressive start where he connected 11 clean punches.

He likes to do body punches as well. Alvarez is known for heavy body shots too.

Although he did not knock out his opponent, it can be clearly seen that he has that power punches.

What I noticed as well is that he has the speed as a middleweight. He can swiftly move from left to right and dodge.

Not to mention that he is being trained by legendary trainer Freddie Roach.

Eumir Marcial definitely has the potential and it’s a matter of time before they can maximize it for good.

What are your observations on his fight? Comment it below!

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
