Guyanese boxers experience fluctuating fortunes against Trinidadian opponents
Stephney ‘Stepping Razor’ George suffered a close points decision loss when she engaged Trinidadian, Ria Ramnarine in the latter fighter’s hometown Saturday August 1 last, but the local fighter is adamant that she had done enough to earn the decision.
George had accepted the fight on late notice but according to reports, turned in a courageous performance. The close scores were indicative of the intense battle as was evident. One judge scored the bout an even 50-50 while the other two had it 45-47 and 37-36 in favour of the Trinidadian.
