Nikmartineau:

'''Carlos Banteaux Suárez''' (b. October 13, 1986) is a Cuban amateur boxer from Santiago de Cuba best known for winning a silver medal at the 2008 Olympics as a welterweight. His name is sometimes spelled Banteur by some sources.

== Amateur career ==
Banteaux won the 64 kg World Junior Championships 2004, but struggled at senior level for years at junior welter, even nationally. His best result was a second place in 2006 vs [[Inocente Fiss]], in 2007 he again exited early.

After the failed defection of dominant welterweight world champ [[Erislandy Lara]], the division was wide open. Banteaux moved up and won the 2008 nationals immediately with a clear 15-6 final win over veteran [[Yudel Jhonson]].

He won the Dominican Copa Independencia and dominated his four bouts at the Olympic qualifier routing [[Oscar Molina]] 19-4 in the all-important semifinal. In the meaningless final he also beat fellow qualifier [[John Jackson (Virgin Islands)|John Jackson]] 12-2.
