John Marvin becomes the first Filipino boxer to reach the Asian Games quarterfinals, while Mark Fajardo bows out after a sensational debut
MANILA, Philippines – John Marvin became the first Filipino boxer to reach the quarterfinals in the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China after earning a stoppage win on Wednesday, September 27.
Israeli referee Boris Svyatocha halted the fight with a minute left in the second round following a pair of standing eight counts on Rabin, who got rocked by a barrage of head shots from Marvin. Earlier in the day, Mark Ashley Fajardo failed to ride on the momentum of his rousing Asian Games debut as he got the boot in the men’s 63.5kg class after a unanimous decision loss to home bet Wang Xiangyang of China.
But Wang proved to be rock solid as he owned all three rounds against Fajardo to advance to the quarterfinals.
