In the first quarterfinal, Ireland-based Cuban runaway Ismaikel "Mike" Perez (14-0, 10 KOs) easily dominated unstable and glass-chinned Kertson Manswell (20-2, 15 KOs) to a wide unanimous decision on all the judges' scorecards. Smaller but more powerful Cuban fugitive landed a hard overhand right swing to start problems for the Trinidadian heavyweight in the opening stanza. He floored him down with a right hand in the same round but Manswell had some chances with his counter left in the second. He tagged Perez solidly with a big uppercut after being shot himself with a left hook. However, the third round was well in Cuban's favour. All three judges saw it 30-25 - for Perez, who looks to be a favorite in this tournament.
