The closing of the day was held by Tamers captain Julio Cesar La Cruz (92 kg), who without fear passed the Bosnian Jemal Bosniak (5-0).
On Saturday we will see another of our Olympic champions in action, Roniel Iglesias (67 kg) from Pinar del Rio, who will make his debut in this world tournament with Johnny Fernandez from the Dominican Republic.
