\"\"Guantanamo.- The Playa Gir\u00f3n Provincial Boxing Cup took place in Guant\u00e1namo, bringing together 21 athletes from the local academy, the provincial team, and the youth squad of the Rafael Freyre Sports Integration School.<\/p>\n

The tournament was held at the gymnasium of the Norte\u2013Los Cocos sports complex and featured male boxers competing in five weight classes: 55 kg, 60 kg, 70 kg, 75 kg, and over 80 kg. Alberto Leyva Cascaret, technical director of the provincial team, told *Venceremos* that the event was organized to strengthen athletes\u2019 preparation and technical skills while national competitions remain unavailable.<\/p>\n

The champions were Yasel Barbier Vaquero (55 kg), Dionis Faur\u00e9 Gracial (60 kg), Ronaldo Cuti\u00f1o Ru\u00edz (70 kg), Jorge Christian Sierra Vicet (75 kg), and Enyi Gell S\u00e1nchez (over 80 kg). Erislandi Gonz\u00e1lez (55 kg), Harold David Fiss Ramos (60 kg), Rodolfo D\u00edaz Mu\u00f1oz (70 kg), Yeinier P\u00e9rez Moir\u00e1n (75 kg), and Yose Maikel Denis Ramos (over 80 kg) finished second, with the bouts showcasing close competition and a high level of skill.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrganizing this provincial cup helps revive an event that was once one of the most important in the province,\u201d Leyva Cascaret said.<\/p>\n

After more than a year without regular national-level competitions, the athletes\u2019 preparation has declined considerably, despite their continuing to follow training plans at their sports facilities. Leyva Cascaret said that bringing competitors together in five weight classes increased the number of bouts and made it possible to assess each boxer\u2019s current physical and technical condition.<\/p>\n

The local Playa Gir\u00f3n tournament also paves the way for the Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Chib\u00e1s Provincial Cup, which will include female athletes. Organizers also expect a delegation from Santiago de Cuba to take part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
