It was truly a night of unbridled fistic fury when the curtains went up on the National Intermediate Boxing Championships under the auspices of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) at the Andrew ‘Sixhead’ Lewis Boxing Gym, Independence Boulevard, Friday evening last.
Several abbreviated bouts characterized the proceedings from the very first bout where Junior/welterweight Elite boxer, Jamal Evans (GDF) forced the referee to halt his contest against Delon Mac David in just 48secs of the first round. However, Evans’ celebrations were short-lived as he also suffered a similar fate in his second fight of the night against his gym mate, Aquincy Harvey, who forced him to retire in 2:48secs of the second frame.
Andel Douglas (GDF) also suffered a similar fate in his Elite jnr/flyweight bout against Tyrone Lashley, of Rose Hall Jammers (RHJ) after the referee stopped that bout in 2:55secs of the 2nd round. Kevin Ting-a-Lee (GDF) was also in a no nonsense mood and disposed of his gym mate, Stevon Mangra, in 54secs of the 2nd round.
The jnr/welterweight bout between Kellon King (FYF) and Republican, Kurt Kendal (REP) ended in favour of the former boxer when the referee waved off the proceedings at 2:42secs of the first stanza while another jnr/welterweight, Kevon Fordyce (GDF), emulated the act with a clinical display that forced the ‘third man’ to halt the proceedings against his gym mate, Jermaine Pollard, in just 1:36secs of the first frame.
Republican middleweight boxer, William Hendricks, restored some pride to his gym when he scored a technical knockout over GDF representative, Jamal Cambridge, in 1:31secs of the first round moments before another Republican, Colin Martin, forced Quee Brotherson to retire in 1:56secs of round two of their light/heavyweight bout.
Quincy Boyce (GDF) was gifted with a walkover after his opponent, Keon Junior (FYF) failed to show up for their 118-125lbs bout, while Levi Fraser (GDF) also failed to take the ring for his middleweight bout against Kevon Rodney (REP).
In between, middleweight, Jamal Cambridge (GDF) won his bout against Republican, Troy Burnett on points moments before Essequibo boxer, Quincy Wright took care of Moses Oxford by points in their 50-54lbs shindig. Odeny Moore also represented the Essequibo Boxing Gym well when he scored a points decision over Kenny Amsterdam (PRBG) in their 90-94lbs bout. Klus Daniels (REP) fought his heart out but just could not get past Linden Daniels in their welterweight bout. The action concluded last night with several additional bouts.
