HAVANA, Cuba, Oct 15 (acn) Titles won by Joahnys Argilagos and Arlen López guaranteed in advance Cuban victory in the World Boxing Championship headquartered in Doha, Qatar, where it will seek today three more titles.
Flyweight Argilagos and middleweight Lopez climbed to the center of the podium in a day where cruiser Erislandy Savon also won a bronze medal and it was enough to reach a leadership not exercised since Miayang 2005, when Cuba earned seven crowns.
On Wednesday, Russia got the same balance with its unique finalists and Uzbekistan lost its three boxers, outcomes that were combined to a proclamation calling to increase its worth in the closing day.
Argilagos, who is only 18, beat 3-0 (29, 28, 29-28, and 29-28) Russian Vasily Egorov, European monarch, based in excellent defense , well coordinated movements and accurate punching.
This was Cuba´s five historical crown in that division and became the beginning of the joys experienced by his squad in an evening where it again had the support of fellow collaborators in that nation.
Arlen, number one in the Americas, also defeated 3-0 Uzbek Bektemir Melikuziev, Asian silver medallist, as culmination of his impeccable performance all along the tourney.
Meanwhile, Savon, Pan American champion, lost 3-0 (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) to Russian silver medalist of the previous edition Evgeny Tischenko
Perhaps the injury that affects him for a few months limited the brave Cuban puncher, but his pace was not the necessary to face such a demanding obstacle.
