Boxing: Cuba crowned champions
MIANYANG (China), Nov 20: Odlanier Solis heaved Cuba to the top of amateur boxing on Sunday with a cliffhanger victory over defending champions Russia at the world championships here.
Trailing in the count in the first two rounds, the reigning world and Olympic heavyweight champion who is now fighting as a superheavyweight rallied mightily in the third to turn the tables on Russian southpaw Roman Romanchuk in the last match of the tournament.
In the end the 25 year-old emerged seven points ahead to notch the deciding fourth gold medal for Cuba.
Kubrat Pulev of Bulgaria and Roberto Cammarelle of Italy took home the bronze in the +91kg weight class.
