Cuba debuts with victory in boxing in Cali 2021

Havana, November 27 (RHC)-- The flyweight Ewart Marin was enough in the opening segment to put things in order.

From then on, he managed the fight at his own pace and Cuba celebrated a happy debut in the boxing tournament of the I Pan American Junior Games Cali 2021.

In the Luis Ignacio Alvarez Coliseum, more than 70 kilometers away from Cali, the Cuban boy adjusted to what was oriented from the corner and received applause when the 5-0 (30-27, 30-25, 30-26, 30-27, 30-27, 30-27) over the Salvadoran Steven Francisco Rodriguez was announced.

"I went out to give my best, because despite knowing that it would not be a difficult fight I wanted to make a double effort, as a tribute to the fifth anniversary of the physical disappearance of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro," he said.

He said that after the first round he was told to manage the work, to cover the remaining ones, "and not to wear myself out unnecessarily for tomorrow's fight", when he will face Brazilian Ronald Andrade Ferreiro, silver medalist in the qualifier for this multisport fight.

"It's always positive to open winning," commented the team's head coach, Santiago Suarez, who praised the way Ewart adjusted to the plan conceived so that this presentation would allow him to get "warmed up".

"The conditions are good to ensure the work-rest relationship and the guys are very motivated," he added before declaring himself satisfied with the form achieved and the winning mentality prevailing in the group.

This Saturday, in addition to the Ewart-Andrade duel, the Cuban squad will see the commitment of welterweight Jorge Forcades, also opponent of a Brazilian: Alyssonn Peixoto Da Silva, 3-2 victimizer of Argentine Dustin Castro.

Cuba's squad already has the bronze medals secured by light heavyweight Luis Reynoso, cruiser Ronny Alvarez and super heavyweight Adrian Fresneda, who were declared free in the draw until the semifinal round.
