Martinez , monarch of the Veracruz 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games, debuted with an 11-0 victory against Peruvian Mario Molina, in his second bout he defeated 9-1 Colombian Jair Cuero and then he beat 9-0 Honduran Jefrin Mejia.

Meanwhile, in his first outing to the mattress Yurisandy Hernandez beat 8-0 Panamanian Alvis Almond, then won 2-0 over Mexican Juan Angel Escobar; and in semifinals he defeated 7-0 Brazilian Angelo Marques.

The only one who could not qualify for Rio de Janeiro was Alan Vera ( 85 kg) after an initial 0-5 loss against Brazilian Ronisson Brandao, result which prevented him from advancing in the standings.
