Cuba - Featherweights - Quarter - Finals
A strong field of 8 led by last season's all time boxing association's Featherweight World Champion, Kid Chocolate.
Quarter-Finals:
Kid Chocolate 7-0-1 (3) vs Marino Gonzalez 0-1-0 (0) - Chocolate stopped Gonzalez due to a huge flurry of unanswered shots late in the 10th for the TKO win.
Sugar Ramos 1-1-0 (1) vs Eugene Garcia 0-1-0 (0) - Garcia showed good boxing skills, but couldn't score the points needed against an agressive Ramos. Ramos went the distance for the first time in his career, winning the 145-140, 144-141 & 145-139 unanimous decision.
Yuriorkis Gamboa 0-1-0 (0) vs Jose Legra 1-1-0 (0) - After the frustration of losing in the first round last season, Gamboa promised a quick end of Legra this time around. He delivered on his promise with a knockout at the 2:07 mark of the first round!
Ciro Morasen 0-1-0 (0) vs Miguel Acevedo 2-1-1 (0) - Acevedo didn't do too bad in the tourney last time, making it to the final bout before losing to the eventual World Champion. This time he didn't get past the first fight of the tourney as he built up a lead against Morasen only to get cut and stopped in the 10th round.
