Eumir Marcial outpointed his opponent to move to the round-of-16 of the men’s 80kg division in the 19th Asian Games on Sunday at the Hangzhou gymnasium.
The Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist outpunched Mongolia’s Dalai Ganzorig en route to a 5-0 win in his initial foray in the higher weight class.
His victory came after Mark Ashley Fajardo’s impressive start in the men’s 63.5kg division earlier in the day.
Fajardo scored a first-round knockout of Bhutan’s Dorji Wangdi.
However, Aira Villegas made an early exit in the women’s 50kg class, losing via split decision to Mongolia’s Yesugen Oyuntsetseg, 3-1.
Also crashing out was Olympian Irish Magno, who absorbed a unanimous decision defeat against Nigina Uktamova of Uzbekistan in the women’s 54 kg class.
