Três ouros, duas pratas e seis bronzes: esse foi o saldo do Brasil no Pan-Americano de boxe de 2026, que terminou neste sábado (24) em Puebla, no México. O país ficou em segundo no quadro de medalhas — o Canadá liderou, com quatro títulos — e foi quem mais vagas carimbou para Lima-2027: 12.

Yuri Falcão (65 kg) teve a final mais tranquila. Diante do canadense Gabriel Labrie, venceu por unanimidade (5 a 0) e levou os três rounds em todas as papeletas, com 30 a 27 repetido cinco vezes.

Nos 90 kg, Isaías Filho bateu o cubano Nelson Williams também por 5 a 0. Levou o primeiro e o terceiro assaltos em todas as papeletas; o segundo dividiu mais, e os cartões ficaram em 30 a 27 (dois juízes) e 29 a 28 (três).

Viviane Pereira (70 kg) fechou a lista de campeões com a decisão mais apertada: 4 a 1 sobre a estadunidense Isabella Winkler. Quatro juízes deram 30 a 27 para a brasileira; o quinto deu 29 a 28 à rival. Nos dois rounds iniciais, só um árbitro viu a americana à frente; no assalto decisivo, a brasileira convenceu todos.

As pratas vieram com Jucielen Cerqueira (57 kg), superada pela americana Alyssa Mendoza por 5 a 0, e Michael Douglas (55 kg), derrotado por 5 a 0 por Lorenzo Patricio.

O Canadá tinha oito finalistas no último dia; o Brasil, cinco. Dois desfalques pesaram: Rebeca Santos, campeã mundial, parou nas semifinais; e Beatriz Ferreira sofreu entorse no joelho esquerdo, foi retirada pela comissão técnica para evitar agravamento e nem entrou no ringue contra Lucia Muello, da Argentina, que passou por W.O. — a brasileira ficou com o bronze.

Puebla também distribuía vagas continentais: 56 no total, quatro por categoria olímpica, em 14 categorias. Atrás do Brasil (12), apareceram os Estados Unidos (8), Canadá e Colômbia (6 cada), Cuba, República Dominicana e Venezuela (5 cada), Argentina e Equador (3) e, com uma vaga, México, Porto Rico e Trinidad e Tobago.
