Carlos D’Anjou, one of Guyana’s two representatives at the recently staged International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) Amateur World Championship, stated that the focus following his return, will be on improving his deficiencies.
This was affirmed during an invited comment following his return from the tournament which was hosted in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates. According to D’Anjou, the focus of Team Guyana, which included Ijaz Cave, will emphasise targeting and correcting the shortcomings of both fighters, adding that different fight methods and mechanisms will be analysed.
He further noted that the experience gained is nothing short of pivotal and will be utilised both locally and internationally, as the team aims to improve and better their debut performances.
D’Anjou suffered an unfortunate first-round exit at the prestigious tournament, losing to Ireland’s Adam McEnroe via a second-round technical knockout (TKO) in their Welterweight encounter. It was a debut to forget for D’Anjou, who was stopped with 1:51 remaining on the clock by the Irishman in Cage One.
On the other hand, Cave was eliminated in his debut at the Round of 16 stage. Given a bye to the aforesaid section, Cave was knocked out (KO’d) by Sweden’s Robin Enontekio in the first round of their Light Heavyweight Divisional clash.
