Letran win vs top-seeded Benilde a big confidence booster for Knights in finals, says Bembem Bautista
NCAA Colegio de San Juan de Letran is heading to the NCAA Season 100 men's volleyball finals armed with confidence, especially after taking down twice-to-beat De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in the tournament's Final Four. The Knights defeated the Blazers in their do-or-die match in the semifinals last Friday and will go against Arellano University in the best-of-three finals which will start on Sunday. Bembem Bautista, one of the leaders of Letran's campaign, said he is happy with how they reached the finals. "Parang sobrang saya. 'Yung pinagtiyagaan namin na training halos araw-araw sa isang taon, may bunga na. Nandito kami ngayon sa finals," Bautista told GMA Integrated News. "Natalo namin ang number one which is twice-to-beat pa [kaya] parang napakataas na ng confidence namin. Napakasaya ng team kaya parang na-boost ang energy namin." During the said match against Benilde, Bautista had 27 points which he said was something he did not expect. "Ang saya ng ganoon na nung fourth set, nakagawa ako ng ganoong puntos and nakarating kami sa finals," Bautista added. With a chance to claim the title for the first time after 16 years, Bautista said that the Intramuors-based squad will be fearless heading into the finals. "Depende sa makakalaban kung pupuksain ako, eh di siyempre hindi naman kami magpapatalo. Walang Letranistang takot," he said. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Olympic bronze medalist Eumir Marcial to fight in Pacquiao-Barrios undercard
Paris 2024 Olympics - Boxing - July 30, 2024. Eumir Felix Marcial of Philippines in action against Turabek Khabibullaev of Uzbekistan. REUTERS/Maye-E Wong Olympic bronze medalist Eumir Marcial is fulfilling his dream of fighting alongside Manny Pacquiao as he will be in one of the undercard fights in Pacman's match against Mario Barrios on July 19 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The 29-year old Marcial will take on 30-year old American Alexis Gaytan in an eight-round middleweight non-title bout on the same date, according to MP Promotions president Sean Gibbons. 'Ever since I started boxing, the reason I started I was so inspired by Manny Pacquiao as a kid when I watched him fighting on TV,' Marcial said. 'It was my dream to always fight along and eventually and to be on a card with Manny Pacquiao.' Marcial bagged the bronze medal in the Olympics back in 2021 in Tokyo, but fell short in his bid for another medal last 2024 in Paris. As a professional, Marcial has a 5-0 record, with three knockouts. He last fought professionally in March 2023 in the Philippines where he knocked out Thailand's Thoedsak Sinam in the fourth round. Gaytan, meanwhile, has a 17-10 record with six knockouts. Marcial arrived in the United States on Tuesday, along with Jerwin Ancajas, Mark Magsayo, and Jonas Sultan, to join Pacquiao in training camp. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
