Cuba's wrestling representative at the Junior Pan-American Games, held in Cali, Colombia, Liober Josue Hecheverria learned about respect the hard way possible.

In the images (see below), it is possible to see Liober celebrating and turning his back on Queiroz. Realizing that there was still time for the confrontation, Igor quickly took advantage and took down his opponent. At the time of the action, the fight was tied at 1 x 1, with the Tupiniquim team starting on the losing side.

The video released also shows the great celebration not only for Queiroz. The Brazilian's team also appears vibrating categorically in the background. On the other side, the Cuban's coaches were enraged by their student's attitude.

Defeated and the protagonist of one of the images that should mark the Games, Josue remained lying down after Igor's blow, which determined the outcome of the confrontation.

The Junior Pan American Games are attended by 41 countries. The athletes compete for places in the adults’ tournament, which takes place in 2023.
