'I'm here to support them and hopefully we can win as many gold medals as we can,' said the middleweight Olympic bronze medalist who flew in from Manila to cheer for the national boxing team. Marcial couldn't defend his middleweight title at the 32nd Southeast Asian Games after resting a recurring injured right hand that became painful every time he climbed atop the ring.
