Quincy Boyce registers lone knockout as Guyana Fight Night amateurs clash

Jan 27, 2013 Sports

Several gyms were represented when the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) fielded a team of eight boxers to participate in the January edition of Friday Night Fights at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH), Saturday evening last. Those include Young Achievers (YA), Harpy Eagles (HE), Forgotten Youth Foundation (FYF), Essequibo Boxing Gym (EBG), Rosehall Jammers (RHJ), Pocket Rocket (PR) and the Guyana Defense Force (GDF).
Quincy Boyce (GDF), fighting in the 119-124lbs class, outshone the others when, in a display of aggression and power punching, he disposed of David Moore (RHJ) shortly after the first bell had sounded. Boyce started at a brisk pace and connected with several crunching shots that pushed Moore backwards. Shortly after, the referee instituted a mandatory eight before ordering the resumption. Boyce rushed across and dealt his opponent several unanswered punches which forced the referee to wave the proceedings off.
Jaimi Kelman (YA) started the proceedings in the 55-59lbs class with a close 2-1 victory over Kevin Mullings (HE) shortly before John Moore (FYF) pounded out a lopsided 3-0 verdict over Shaquille Simon (PR) in the 70-74lbs division. Tyron Lashley (RHJ) also chalked up a decisive win over Cordell Walcott (EBG) in their 90-94lbs bout.
All of the boxers were recipients of attractive food hampers donated by furniture giants, Courts. The next edition of Friday Night Fights will be staged at the same venue on Friday February 22.
The programme is a presentation of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control in collaboration with the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), National Communications Network (NCN) and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.
