Orin Bancroft wins in Barbados as amateur boxers experienced mix fortunes in Barbados
The three amateur boxers that travelled to Barbados to participate in a goodwill tournament Sunday
Orin Bancroft
September 15 last, experienced mixed fortunes with Harpy Eagles junior representative, flyweight Orin Bancroft winning a close 2-1 verdict, while his compatriots, Junior Henry, also at a similar level as Bancroft and senior flyweight pugilist, Joel Williamson, both dropped points decisions.
Harpy Eagles coach, James Walcott, traveled with the squad and reported that Bancroft turned in a masterful performance that left no room for doubt as to who had won the bout. However, Walcott said that he was surprised that the decision went that close. He said that Bancroft stuck to a plan and overwhelmed his man and easily won the bout by a wide margin, contrary to the judges’ scorecard.
The coach said that Williamson was matched against one of the best boxers in Barbados and gave a good account of himself. He further said that in his estimation, the Guyanese pugilist had done enough to clinch the verdict but the judges felt otherwise.
Quizzed about Henry’s performance, Walcott said that his charge had lost fair and square. However, he said that Henry procrastinated in the early rounds and only came to life in the final stanza which proved to be insufficient in the end; he also lost on a 2-1 verdict.
