Following his 3rd round knockout of Barbados based Guyanese, Revlon Lake, relieving him of the local lightweight title; Clive ‘The Punisher’ Atwell has earned the distinction of being the first Guyanese to hold titles in three divisions.
Indeed, the youngster is the local featherweight, lightweight and the World Boxing Council Caribbean Boxing Federation (WBC CABOFE) junior/welterweight champion.
He has so far compiled a record of 10 fights, stopping 5 of his opponents and winning four by decision. His lone blemish is a drawn decision against Mark Austin in a fight he still feels that he had won. He has also stopped five of his opponents including, Rudolph Fraser for the local featherweight title and Trinidadian Prince Lee Isadore for the World Boxing Council Caribbean Boxing Federation (WBC CABOFE) junior/welterweight belt.
In his last fight Atwell proved that an earlier knockout victory against Lake was no fluke after disposing of him in quick time.
Atwell spends most of his time in Dominica where he works even as he finds time to engage in boxing activities. However, the paucity of sparring partners in that country has been a cause of concern for his training team which includes coach Lennox Daniels, Leon ‘Hurry Up’ Moore, who serves as his adviser and Max Massiah who Atwell regards as his close friend and mentor.
Following his devastating knockout over Lake, Atwell is preparing for tougher encounters and has revamped his training methods to suit that need.
According to Mr. Massiah, Atwell has exceptional qualities which if properly honed could earn him a world title in the near future. He said that he has had discussions with Atwell and they had agreed that apart from his physical abilities, there was a need to develop his mental acumen.
Mr. Massiah pointed out that team Atwell has already started this process which he feels is the key variable to Atwell’s current progress.
Atwell left for Dominica last Saturday morning and will continue the development programme while there. Anxious that his charge continues in the right vein, Mr. Massiah has presented him with a piece of training equipment capable of developing his forearm and wrist and by extension, enhances his punching power.
The handing over ceremony took place at Giftland office Max Saturday morning last. Atwell thanked his benefactor and has since promised to use the equipment during training sessions while in his adopted hometown.
