Chavarria throws many punches, but they are easy to avoid. I land an early combination and finish with a right hand that hurts him.
He continues to miss in the second and I begin to land heavy blows. These soften him.
I attack and he goes down from a left hook-right uppercut. He makes it to his feet and is able to hold me off to see out the contest.
Afterwards I watch my next opponent José Sotolongo outbox Francisco Medina.
Sotolongo is a good boxer, more experienced than me. He once boxed internationally, but it's said in national team he was not a dedicated trainer.
