SUAREZ TOOK NO CHANCES AGAINST HOMETOWN DECISION IN CHINA AND SMASHED SHAN JUN?S NOSE TO WIN BY 2ND ROUND TKO By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Thu, 31 Mar 2016  Suarez. 27 year old veteran and Philippine team captain Charly Suarez took no chances against a possible hometown decision in China and smashed the nose of China?s Shan Jun to win by a 2nd round TKO and qualify for the Rio Olympics. Rogen Ladon lived up to his No. 1 ranking in the Asia-Oceania qualifying tournament in Qian?An, Herbei Province in China to score a rousing Victory over India?s Laisham to clinch a berth in Rio Olympic Games in August. Not so lucky were bantamweight Mario Fernandez, who lost to Thai Chatchai Butdee in their semis bout ? 29-27 in the cards of all three judges, and welterweight Eumir Felix Marcial, who fought with swollen knuckles on his left hand and paid the prize, a 30-27 decision to Uzbekistan?s Shakhram Giyasov. But all is not lost for Fernandez and Marcial as they still have a chance to finish No. 3. But to advance, Fernandez has to beat a Kazakhstan fighter in a box-off on Friday while Marcial needs to upend a Mongolia opponent. On the advice of ABAP?s sports science team, Marcial?s hand was immersed alternately in hot water with Epsom salt and in ice for the past two days to reduce the swelling, but the pain was another matter. Marcial, nonetheless, vowed to fight to the end Friday in his last chance to get to Rio. The top three boxers in each male weight category qualify for an Olympic berth.
