Havana, November 29 (RHC)-- Cuban Edward Marin (52 kgs) became the first of the seven boxers of his squad to advance to the dispute of the scepter in the boxing tournament of the First Pan American Junior Games held in Cali, Colombia.

In the Luid Ignacio Álvarez Coliseum, the fast southpaw Marín overcame unanimously the Guatemalan José Daniel Felipe and, in pursuit of the golden metal, will face the American Isaias Navarro next Wednesday. This was Marin's third win in three successive days.

Meanwhile, the medium Krihztian Barrera, who won 3-1 against the Mexican Jose Ismael Lopez, won bronze.

In search of silver, today he will face American Dante Layne. In addition, this Sunday, Cuba had its first setback in boxing, as Pavel Echaide, in the 63 kilograms category, lost to the Colombian Carlos Utria.

As it became known in the fickle draw, the Cuban squad secured three bronze medals without fighting, because given the small number of registered fighters, Luis Reinoso, Rony Álvarez and Adrián Fresneda will go straight for silver in the 81, 91 and +91 kilograms divisions. So, Reinoso, Álvarez and Fresneda will also be on the ringside today.
