With the Cuba squad debacle In the World Liverpool championship, grabbing the headlines, two veteran peppers took their face these days for the Cuban boxing.
Arlen López and Lázaro Álvarez, until recently two of the infallible names in the main teams of the island, but now absent to the orb contest, retained their continental strips of the World Boxing Association (AMB), in a poster held this Friday in Berlin, Germany.
López, double Olympic monarch in Rio and Tokyo and tanned last year in Paris, did not give opportunities to Colombian Jairo Delgado in the division up to 175 pounds. In this way, he revalidated the scepter won for the first time in Varadero and then retained in Madrid.

Sorsano, Hulk, Santana
López and Álvarez’s successes were not the only ones for Cuba in Berlin. In the billboard organized by Agon Sports – company with which the Cuban Federation maintains contractual links – the debutant Yusnier Sorsano also shone.
The Camagüeano, premiered in a professional event with a forceful knockout in the first assault in front of the Mexican Javier Castaneda, who previously added nine wins, four losses and two draws, he refers Hit.
This devastating presentation in the division of up to 154 pounds could open the doors of the Agon Sports staff, maintains the sports publication.
For others, the Cuban Carlos Castillo, who is professionally known as “Hulk”, achieved his eighth triumph without setbacks. The Caribbean heavyweight, which resides in Germany and is not linked to the island’s federation, was imposed by unanimous decision to the Ukrainian Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenko, to round a successful evening for the boxers of Cuba.
A day later, this Saturday, another Cuban fighter, Raiko Santana, reached an important victory in his professional career, is in Las Vegas.
In a billboard that had as a main course the fight between the Mexican Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and the American and Terence “Bud ” Crawford – won by the latter -, Santana took the opportunity and defeated the most experienced Steven Nelson.
Although the North American started as a favorite for his greatest record, the Caribbean went from the beginning and did not even let him finish the first assault. Although Nelson never fell to the canvas, the referee stopped the fight because he was not able to continue, with what he suffered the first technical knockout of his career, according to The Ring.
In this way, the successes of Cuban fighters in professional billboards relieve the disappointing performance of the island’s team in Liverpool, where for the first time Cuba could not include any fighter in a final and signed his worst historical performance in world lides.
