3 | A Japanese filmmaker known as the ‘compassionate pugilist' has been providing training and assistance to poor underdog boxers from the Philippines in the hope of inspiring these athletes to become champions like Filipino legend Manny Pacquiao. | Manome fanazarantena sy fanampiana ho an'ireo mpilalao ady totohondry mahantra avy ao Filipina ilay Japoney mpamokatra horonantsarimihetsika fantatra amin'ny maha- mpilalao ady totohondry matihanina be fangorahana azy mba hanome aingam-panahy ireo atleta te-ho tompondaka tahaka ilay olomanga Filipiana Manny Pacquiao. |
4 | After meeting some struggling boxers from the Philippines, Eiji Yoshikawa was moved by their conditions and decided to give them professional training. | Taorian'ny fihaonana tamin'ireo mpilalao ady totohondry mitolona [amin'ny fiainana] sasantsasany avy ao Filipina, nangoraka tamin'ny fepetra iainan'izy ireo i Eiji Yoshikawa ary nanapa-kevitra hanome azy ireo fanazaratena matihanina. |
5 | But aside from sharing his expertise, he also asked some of his friends and other Japanese boxers to donate resources to provide training and financial support to the families of the Filipino boxers. | Saingy ankoatra ny fizarana ny fahaizany manokana, nangataka tamin'ireo namany sasany sy ireo Japoney mpilalao ady totohondry hafa ihany koa izy mba hanome fanohanana fanazarana sy fanohanana ara-bola ho an'ny fianakavian'ireo Filipianina mpilalao ady totohondry. |
6 | After two years, Eiji has successfully trained two boxers who have played in the national championships. | Toarian'ny roa taona, nahomby ny fanazarantena nataon'i Eiji mpilalao ady totohondry roa izay nandray anjara tamin'ny fifaninanam-pirenena. |
7 | Eiji told Global Voices he thinks boxing can help some of his trainees escape poverty: | Niresaka tamin'ny Global Voices mikasika amin'izay heviny i Eiji fa afaka manampy ny sasany amin'ireo mpianany hiala amin'ny fahantrana ny filalaovana ady totohondry. |
8 | Boxing doesn't require degrees and certificates. | Tsy mitaky diplaoma sy mari-pahaizana ny filalaovana ady totohondry. |
9 | You can't read but can fight. | Tsy afaka mamaky teny ianao fa afaka miady. |
10 | Inside the ring, rich and poor are equal. | Eo ambony ringy, mitovy ny manankarena sy ny mahantra. |
11 | If you polish your skill, you'd be Manny or Nonito. | Raha mandranitra ny fahaizanao ianao, dia mety ho lasa Manny na Nonito. |
12 | [Filipino boxing champions]. | [Filipianina tompondakan'ny ady totohondry]. |
13 | Obviously, only a handful can reach the world's top, but boxers can learn so much about life like who you are, your strength and weakness, especially from losing fights. | Miharihary fa vitsy ihany no mahanika ny faratampon'izao tontolo izao, saingy afaka mianatra zavatra betsaka momba ny fiainana tahaka ny hoe iza ianao, ny herinao sy ny fahalemenao, indrindra rehefa resy amin'ny fifaninana ireo mpilalao ady totohondry. |
14 | A champion's belt won't last long, but learning about yourself and the world would not only last long but it gets deeper and better. | Tsy mitoetra maharitra ela ny fehikibon'ny tompon-daka, fa ny fianarana momba ny tenanao sy izao tontolo izao kosa tsy vitan'ny hoe maharitra ela fa mihalalina sy mihatsara kokoa. |
15 | But he often reminds his trainees that boxing should not be viewed as the only route to escape poverty. | Saingy mampahatsiahy ireo mpianany (mpiofana) matetika izy fa tsy tokony heverina ho làlan-tokana hialana amin'ny fahantrana ny ady totohondry. |
16 | That is why he is encouraging boxers to complete their schooling. | Izany no mahatonga azy mandrisika ireo mpilalao ady totohondry mba hamita ny fianaran'izy ireo. |
17 | He also supports the decision of boxers to send their children to schools. | Manohana ny fanapahan-kevitry ny mpilalao ady totohondry handefa ny zanany any an-tsekoly ihany koa izy. |

19 | Eiji's experience in providing training to Filipino boxers and his mission to promote awareness about poverty in the Philippines is the subject of a film documentary entitled ‘Rumble in the Jungle.' | Ny zavatra niainan'i Eiji amin'ny fanomezana fanazarantena ho an'ireo Filipianina mpilalao ady totohondry sy ny iraka ataony manaitra amin'ny fahantrana ao Filipina no lohahevitry ny horonantsary fanadihadiana mitondra ny lohateny hoe ‘Tabataba any anaty ala' . |

21 | Eiji has been showing the film in various schools in Japan and the response of the students has been very positive. | Asehoan'i Eiji amin'ny sarimihetsika ireo sekoly isan-karazany ao Japana ary tena miabo avokoa ny valintenin'ireo mpianatra. |
22 | Many have expressed their willingness to give support to the poor boxers. | Maro ireo naneho ny fahavononany hanome fanohanana hoan'ireo mahantra mpilalao ady totohondry. |
23 | One initiative that really made a difference in the community where boxers live was the building of a sports gym that was made possible through a fundraising campaign started by Eiji and his friends. | Fisantarana andraikitra iray nitondra fiovana teo amin'ny fiarahamonina onenan'ireo mpilalao ady totohondry ny fananganana tranobe fanaovana fanatanjahan-tena izay tanteraka noho ny hetsika fanangonam-bola natombok'i Eiji sy ny namany. |

25 | Boxing is popular in the Philippines and many young people want to emulate the career of world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao. | Malaza ao Filipina ny ady totohondry ary maro ireo tanora no maniry ny hanara-dia ilay tompon-dakan'ny ady totohondry Manny Pacquiao. |
26 | But not everybody can be Pacquiao and there are hundreds, if not thousands of amateur boxers who remain poor and lack proper training. | Saingy tsy ny rehetra no ho lasa Pacquiao ary an-jatony, raha tsy an'arivony ireo mpankafy ady totohondry mbola mijanona ho mahantra sy tsy mahazo fanazarantena sahaza. |
27 | Fortunately, there are ‘compassionate pugilists' like Eiji who are not only highlighting the conditions of poor boxers but are also inspiring people both in Japan and the Philippines to offer assistance to these athletes and their families. | Soa ihany fa misy ireo ‘mpilalao ady totohondry matihanina be fangorahana' tahaka an'i Eiji izay tsy manasongadina ny fahantran'ny mpilalao ady totohondry ihany fa manainga ihany koa ireo olona ao Japana sy Filipina hanome fanampiana ireo mpanao fanatanjahantena sy ny fianakaviany. |
