Guyana’s Keevin Allicock made a further march up the medal round of the Commonwealth Youth Games Boxing Championship currently being staged in the Bahamas and will battle in the gold medal match today.
The Albouystown lad had stormed to a commanding 4-1 victory in the Flyweight (52kg) division over British fighter Kian Bittles on Friday. Yesterday Allicock was simply dominant as he marched to a 5-0 victory over a Canadian fighter Jordan Mathieu.
Known for his aggression and skill, Allicock outfought his opponent to make a clean sweep on the Judges cards to battle in the gold medal contest set for today at 1:00pm. The least he can come away with from these games is a silver medal, but no doubt having scented gold, his opponent, M.A. James, a 16 year old, from England will be in for a torrid time.
James also showed his ability, winning 5-0, beating Taylor Hamilton of Scotland in his bout.
Meanwhile, Guyanese middle distance athlete Claudrice McKoy finished 13th of the 13 competitors in the 3000m event. Onassha Rodgers qualified for the final of the 200m race yesterday.
In the swimming competition, Kenita Mahaica finished 6th in heat 2 of the 50m Freestyle event and Daniel Scott finished 8th of 8 competitors in the Boys 50m Freestyle heat 2, both failing to advance to the medal rounds.
