BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (MARCH 16, 2016) - For the second straight day, the United States squad put on a knockout performance at the Americas Qualifier in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Light flyweight Nico Hernandez (Wichita, Kansas) and light heavyweight Jonathan Esquivel (Anaheim, Calif.) took the ring in the early session at the the Ferial la Rural de Palermo. Neither boxer would be denied in their bouts, but their opponents didn't make their victories easy. Light welterweight Gary Russell (Capitol Heights, Md.) and welterweight Paul Kroll (Philadelphia, Pa.) both competed in evening action with Russell winning his tournament opener. Kroll faced a Cuban Olympic champion in his match-up but fell just short against his much more experienced opponent.
