In the eyes of national boxing team consultant Donald Abnett, it’s still a long way when it comes to the conditioning as well as the fighting form for Tokyo Olympics-bound boxer Eumir Marcial.
The 59-year-old Australian made his comments Tuesday, May 11, as the boxing coaching staff advised Marcial to join the national team in its bubble training camp in Thailand.
“It’s far less from what we’ve expected. It’s a bit of a concern,” said Abnett as he appeared on the online Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum with Filipino coach Ronald Chavez from their training camp in Muaklek, which is a two-hour drive from the capital city Bangkok.
Eumir Marcial heading to Thailand to gear up for Tokyo Olympics
Olympic-bound Eumir Marcial is set to join the training bubble of Filipino boxers in Thailand, following the conclusion of the ASBC Asian Elite Men and Women Boxing Championships in late May.
According to Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) secretary-general Ed Picson, the professional boxer relayed the message recently while training in Zamboanga under the auspices of national team coach Gerson Nietes. I think it s a good decision. Actually, I ve been trying to get him to Thailand even when he was in the U.S. A [Thai] visa was already sent there to the L.A. consulate, but he decided not to pick it up so we re applying him another visa, explained Picson in Tuesday s online Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum.
