Anderson Rojas
Anderson Rojas is an amateur boxer from Ecuador who has qualified for the 2012 Olympics as a light welterweight.[1]
Anderson was a quarter-finalist and 5th-place finisher at middleweight at the 2012 American Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament. Five spots were available for qualification at light welterweight and Anderson qualified over the other quarter-finalists since his loss was to the eventual winner Roniel Iglesias.[2] Qualification being dependent on how the opponent performed in later rounds was controversial and will not be used in future Olympics.[3]
Anderson also won a gold medal at the South American Championships and a silver medal at the Panamerican Youth Championships.[4]
