Santiago Nieva who saw Carrion box many times recalls that “he may have had many losses, but he was an excellent, skillful boxer. He was a defensive wizard and in later years not always as exciting as he used to be. Unfortunately, he never competed in the Olympic Games, missing four opportunities. In 1988 Cuba boycotted the Seoul Games. In 1992 he was injured in a streetfight and missed the Barcelona Games. In 1996 he was under a two-year suspension after failing a doping test, as well as several other Cuban boxers (including Mario Kindelan) who took diurethics to lose weight. In 2000 he was finally going to the Olympics when he failed another doping test in Cuba prior to the Olympics (furosemide, used to lose weight).”

Corrections:

1. Delete Carrion's bout with Mario Kindelan in 1990. It happened in 1989 instead of 1989 and 1990.

2. Delete Carrion's bout with Angel Moya in 1990. It happened in 1991 instead of 1990 and 1991.

3. Insert Joel Casamayor in place of Angel Moya in the finals of the 1990 Giraldo Cordova Cardin Tournament instead of the semifinals and change his finish to "54kg champion" instead of "54kg finalist."

4. Correct the spelling of Ivan "Chomy" to Ivan "Chornei" in the quarterfinals of the 1993 World Championships.

Addition:

1. Add the date of the 1986 bout with Oscar Ponce as September 24.

Thanks to Santiago Nieva for this corrected information.
