Filipino Olympian and boxer Eumir Marcial scored a highlight-reel knockout in his homecoming bout against Theodsak Sinam on Saturday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila.

Marcial, 28, opened the contest with jabs before unleashing his patented left straight down the pipe. Sinam was game in the early going but was eventually caught with a big uppercut in the fourth stanza.

Unable to beat the count, the referee halted the contest at the 1:33 mark of round 4, improving Marcial’s flawless record to 5-0 with 3 knockouts while Sinam dropped to 23-14 with 19 knockouts.

Marcial is already assured of a slot in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
