Defending champion Veitia narrowly wins opening bout

A split decision in both bouts! 

The competition's top seed, Yosvany Veitia of Cuba, edges past Mohamed Flissi of Algeria 3-2.

Probably not the score you would look for in your first bout of a tournament, but as I said before, Flissi is an experienced boxer. 

In Ring B, Yuberjen Martinez of Colombia defeats Ramon Nicanor Quiroga by the same score.

So the top seeds progress, but only just.
