It was the inaugural night of the Guyana Amateur Boxing Association (GABA) 2012 National Novices Boxing Championships, Friday evening last, and 6 of the bouts saw boxers of the Guyana Defense Force (GDF) pitting their skills against those of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) in the 13 bouts card.
Five of the representatives of the GDF, junior/welterweights, Louis Lewis, Devon Richmond, Jancyah Cummings and welterweights, Chris Holder and Mark Wright, by dint of superior firepower, overwhelmed policemen, Kenroy Dominic, Rayon Scott, Anthony Alexander, Troy Ridley and Jamal Evans respectively, while the lawmen chalked up a consolation victory through the efforts of light/heavyweight, Devon Henry over Marlon Philadelphia.
Lewis forced the referee to halt his bout against Dominic in 1:40secs of the second frame while Richmond bout was terminated 1:04 of the first stanza. Alexander lasted 2:54secs of the first round.
The action took place on the northern tarmac of the National Gymnasium and also saw junior boxers exhibiting their wares.
In this category, in the 70-74lbs class, Kevin Mulling of Harpy Eagles Boxing Gym (HEBG) turned in a crowd pleasing performance to outclass Shaquel Simon of the Pocket Rocket Boxing Gym (PRBG) moments before Christophe Mansfield (HEBG) proved he was better than his gym mate, Elijah Insanally in their 90-94lbs bout. The former boxer belied his novice status and won the hearts of the small crowd with a display of accurate punching and good foot works. No one had a problem with the 3-0 decision rendered by the judges.
Tefon Green (HEBG) enjoyed an easy night after his opponent and gym mate, Kinchand Arjoon, failed to show up for their 90-94lbs duel while Javaad Richard (HEBG) out-boxed Romona Bumbury of the Forgotten
Army representative, Louis Lewis, returned later on to notch up his second victory for the night with a verdict over Aquancy Harvey while Jancyah Cummings emulated his feat against his gym mate, Devon Richmond shortly before Marlon Bancroft overwhelmed Chris Holder to cart off the honours in their welterweight shindig. Activities concluded last night and those results will appear in tomorrow’s edition.
