In 2010 he competed at the Pan American Championships in Quito. In the welterweight he defeated there Christian Peguero, Puerto Rico on points ( 4-1 ), but lost in the quarterfinals against Óscar Molina from Mexico just on points ( 5:6 ), so he resigned and finished 5th. In October 2010, he was also employed at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi.

In the quarterfinals, he met the British European champion Fred Evans, to whom he gave a great fight, who stood at the end of 14:14. The judges then chose Evans as the winner, which was considered by Custio Clayton and the Canadian team lead as a blatant miscarriage of justice. He retired from it and took a 5th place.
