TRINIDAD and Tobago’s Carlos Antonio Suarez advanced from the second round of the 2012 Olympic Boxing Qualifiers in Brazil yesterday with a majority decision over Peru’s Enoc Rivera.
After three rounds, Suarez led on the scorecard by 3-3, 3-2 and 5-2 to complete an impressive 11-7 triumph in the light flyweight bout. Suarez who will now face Jantony Marcano of Puerto Rico, has been hailed as one of the tournament’s bright.
But Marcano is touted as one of the competition’s more powerful hitters. He will battle Marcano on Friday as he seeks to gain a place in the 2012 London Olympic Games. Suarez first beat David Rodriguez of Costa Rica on the opening day. Today, middleweight Andrew Fermin will look to follow up his second-day unanimous decision victory over Rowain Christopher (Domincan Republic) when he fights Jose Espinoza Mena of Venezuela.
