Cuba beats Mexico, remains undefeated in World Series of Boxing

Cuba Domadores beat Mexico Guerreros with a score of 4-1 on Saturday as the island remains undefeated in Season V of World Series of Boxing (WSB).

The Cuban team faced Guerreros in the Olympic Gym of Aguascalientes city, in central Mexico. Domadores only lost one fight during the stage, the fifth of the current season.

In the first fight, Mexican Joselito Fernandez, 49-kg Pan-American champion, defeated young Cuban Johanys Argilagos with a score of 3-0 (48-47, 49-45, 48-46). This was Mexico's only victory in this stage.

The second fight for the 56-kg category, Cuban Andy Cruz faced Mexican Brian Morales, who failed a lot, which made Cruz to win with a score of 3-0 (49-46, 49-46, 49-46).

After Cruz's victory, Cuba's domain increased first with the victory of Arlen Lopez, who fought his best fight with combinations and sideways body movements, against Mexican Misael Rodriguez with a score of 3-0 (49-46, 49-46, 49-46).

Later, the twice world champion in the 64-kg category, Yasnier Toledo defeated Mexican Raul Curiel, in a fight combining left beats and hooks. Toledo won with a score of 3-0 (50-45, 50-45, 50-45).

The last victory on Saturday's night was the easiest one for Domadores, since Erislandy Savon defeated Mexican Daniel Paniagua by default, as Paniagua was overweight and could not fight.

With these results, Cuba remained undefeated for five consecutive weeks and reached 15 points with a 24-1 won-lost record.

On Feb. 20 Domadores will face British Lionhearts in Havana's Sports City.

The tournament's final will be held in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, on June 11 and 12. Endit
