Cordillera - University of Baguio athlete Eumir Marcial scored a 4th round technical knockout victory against his American opponent Isiah Hart during their middleweight clash at the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on Saturday, April 9, 2022. 

However, the bout was not an easy fight for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist as he suffered three knockdowns in the earlier rounds. 

Marcial was knocked down once in the first round and twice in the second round before landing a counter left hand that wobbled the American boxer. 

The referee was forced to stop the bout for the safety of Hart at the 47-second mark of their scheduled six-round middleweight bout.

The 26-year-old Marcial continued to his second straight pro wins with 1 knockout under his new trainer Jorge Capetillo.

Marcial was a World Junior champion in 2011, a World Boxing silver medalist in 2016, and a three-time Southeast Asian Games gold medalist.
