The Tamers of Cuba won their three presentations today and remained undefeated in eight climbs to the Humo Arena ring, venue of the XXII World Boxing Championship in Tashkent, capital of Uzbekistan.
This Thursday, the first to come out on top was the small flyweight from Sancti Spiritus Alejandro Claro, 4-0 against the Armenian Baregham Harutyunyan, supported by cash, he worked from close range to win the first round without tribulations.
But in the second, his rival entered with his head and caused a wound that stopped the lawsuit, which until then the Cuban commanded. Four judges gave it an advantage and the Argentine declared a tie. If his cut manages to close, Claro will have Mozambican Yassine Issufo as his second opponent on Monday.
Today’s second victory was for the super heavyweight Fernando Arzola from Santiago, who defeated the Italian Diego Lenzi 5-0, with preponderance for the continuous use of the jab combined with hooks and straight punches. On Sunday he will cross gloves against the Indian Narender.
And the day was successfully closed by unanimous vote of the three-time world champion Lázaro Álvarez (63.5) against the Ethiopian Mesfin Keralah. The man from Pinar del Río took advantage of the failure in the beating of his rival and also attacked with more effectiveness, to become the first Cuban boxer who has already won twice.
In his next fight, the lefty vueltabajero will face the Brazilian Yuri Dosreis on Saturday.
Tomorrow three other Cubans will climb into the ring. The stars Arlen López (80 kg) and Julio César La Cruz (92 kg) will debut against the Indian Chaudhary Ashish and the Bosnian Dzemal Bosnjak, respectively, while Saidel Horta (57 kg) will go to his second presentation of the tournament, against Trinidad Anthony Joseph.
