SANTO DOMINGO.<\/strong>\u2013 Nicaraguan boxer Andy Javier Caballero was disqualified this Sunday from the XXV Central American and Caribbean Games Santo Domingo 2026 competitions, after biting Dominican Miguel \u00c1ngel Encarnaci\u00f3n during a 65-kilogram category bout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The preliminary fight was underway with intense exchanges of blows and a high level of competitiveness when the incident occurred. Caballero had previously received a standing count and, following an offensive by Encarnaci\u00f3n that caused a nosebleed, both boxers became entangled in a clinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the midst of the struggle, the Dominican claimed to have been bitten by his opponent. The referee immediately stopped the fight and, after checking Encarnaci\u00f3n’s neck, confirmed that it showed an injury with scratches and bleeding, so he proceeded to disqualify the Nicaraguan fighter and award the victory to the Dominican representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other results of the 65-kilogram division, Christofer Filos Vargas defeated the Honduran Gabriel Txmari Fortin P\u00e9rez by technical superiority, while the Guyanese Colin Lewis beat the Barbadian Peter Wendell Murray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the super heavyweight category, the Dominican Daniel Guzm\u00e1n fell by unanimous decision to the Colombian Juan Pablo Patillo, who took control of the fight from the second round onwards. In another matchup, the Cuban Fernando Alejandro Arzola L\u00f3pez defeated the Guatemalan Luis Rodrigo Guerra Lima in the final round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
