Kaieteur Sports – Guyana’s Terron Wintz and Desmond Amsterdam both produced commanding performances on Sunday to advance in their respective weight divisions at the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games boxing competition.
Competing in the Elite Men’s 70kg division in the Dominican Republic, Wintz delivered a flawless display to defeat Saint Lucia’s Kyghan Mortley by a unanimous 5-0 decision, despite having a slow start.
All five judges awarded the contest to the Guyanese boxer, each scoring it 30-26 in Wintz’s favour following an impressive three-round performance.
Meanwhile, Amsterdam required even less time to book his place in the next round of the Elite Men’s 80kg competition.
The Guyanese stopped Dominica’s Daniel Ali Shillingford by Referee Stopped Contest (RSC) in the second round at the 1:10 mark after taking complete control of the bout.
All five judges had Amsterdam ahead 10-9 before the contest was halted, underlining his dominance inside the ring.
The victories continue Guyana’s campaign at the CAC Games boxing tournament, with both Wintz and Amsterdam progressing to the next stage of their respective divisions.
