Delroy James avenged his gym-mate’s loss to Gladwin Dorway when he defeated the Pocket Rocket Boxing Gym’s (PRBG) competitor on Sunday’s third and final night of the Guyana Amateur Boxing Association’s (GABA) National Intermediate Championship, Cadet and Under-15 tournament which was sponsored by Neal and Massy Group of Companies.
Dorway was on the receiving end of a number of attacks and bowed out to Republican power house James in the welterweight division
Two walkovers, two Referee Stopped the Contest (RSC) and nine full bouts were how the events of the final evening played out at the National Gymnasium.
Rondel Rowley of Ricola Gym and Laurex Stewart of the Forgotten Youth Foundation (FYF) Gym were the boxers who received the walkovers against Eon Baker (Ricola) and Mervin Austin of Young Achievers in the 60-64lbs and 110-117lbs categories respectively.
Ricola’s Marlon Daniels defeated PRBG’s Richard Williamson in the first bout of the night which was the Under 15 100-104lbs category whilst in the Cadet category, Harpy Eagle’s pinweight (101lbs) pugilist Imran Khan won against Kelvin Josiah of Essequibo.
The Blue corner ruled the Flyweight (110lbs) and featherweight (125lbs) divisions as Essequibo’s Kelvin Moore and Harpy’s Stefan Gouveia floated away with victories defeating Derek Hyman (Essequibo) and Wencell Thomas (FYF) respectively.
A stiff battle between 112lbs boxers Orlando Allicock and counterpart Ashel Williams from the FYF boxing gym saw Allicock victorious after four rounds of the Intermediate clash.
Bantamweight Rondel Douglas, another one of the Junior Boxers in training to represent Guyana at the Junior Commonwealth Games in Pune, India, gave a sound whipping to Ryan Ally (HE) which led to the referee stopping the contest.
Ricola’s featherweight Charles Albert defeat Republican’s Austin Rapher
while Robert Nicholas thrashed Damion Abrams.
PRBG’s Hudley Khan defeated Rhodell Williams of the Guyana Defence Force in the junior welterweight category.
In the final fight of the night Richard Bourne over-powered his younger gym-mate Sherwin Clarke in every possible way forcing the referee to stop the contest to save Clarke from further punishment.
