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.
