Havana, March 5 (JIT) -- Cuba celebrated the victory of Jorge Cuellar (71 kg) over the Tongan Taufa Levemaau in the pre-Olympic boxing tournament that today celebrates its third date in the Italian city of Busto Arzizio.

The boy from the Island won a unanimous decision (5-0) as a reward for the superiority shown since the initial round, when two of the judges saw him win 10-8 and the others 10-9.

That last vote was repeated in the following segments as confirmation of a dominance that opened the doors to Thursday, as opponent of China's Mengyang Zhao, another of the winners in a division that registered 70 competitors.

This Wednesday will be a debut for the world runner-up Fernando Arzola (+92 kg), the number three at that level Alejandro Claro (51 kg) and the Central Caribbean bronze medalist Yakelín Estornell (66 kg).

Arzola will cross blows with Senegal's Balde Diarga, Claro with Iran's Krista Ovalainen and Yakelín with Finland's Krista Ovalainen.

Cuba lost Legnis Calá (57 kg) in his Sunday debut and will also depend on the runner-up Erislandy Álvarez (63.5 kg).

YOUTH WITH A PERFECT START IN THE WORLD CUP

The five Cubans summoned to the opening day of the Adriatic Pearl Youth World Cup made their debut with victories in the Montenegrin city of Bubva.

The report issued by the delegation specifies that three of those victories came before the limit, coined by Angel Manuel Sober (48 kg), Yojander Fuentes (57 kg) and Jorge Luis Mayeta (80 kg), the only one of them who will repeat this Wednesday on the waxed.

The others called to fight that day are Kevin Alejandro Sanchez (54 kg), Yehison Pamias (60 kg), David Manuel Espinosa (67 kg) and Javier Alexander Sayas (86 kg).
