Dominican boxer Juan Carlos Payano fighting in the Flyweight Class (51kg/112lbs) moved up defeating Frenchman Jerome Thomas in a 10-6 decision by points. Thomas was high-rated as he was the silver medallist at the Athens Olympics. Ironically, in Athens, Payano had lost to Thomas. Payano is a Pan American silver medallist and the country's highest hope for a medal in Beijing. Payano will next fight against an Italian. Hopes are also up for the performances of boxers Felix Manuel Diaz, Winston Mendez and Argenis Nunez.
