Rose Hall Jammers boxing gym ran out winners of the fifth Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) Pepsi/Mike Parris U16 boxing competition yesterday at the National Gymnasium.

Jammers ended on eight points while second place went to Vergenoegen Boxing Gym with six points.

The Forgotten Youth Foundation with four points, Young Achievers with three points and newcomers Pace and Power of Independence Boulevard, with two points, were the other participating gyms.

Previously the bouts were staged at the Andrew ‘Sixhead’ Lewis Boxing Gym but according to Terrence Poole, they were forced to switch to the National Gymnasium because of a much larger crowd attending the fixture which is staged every two weeks.

Malachi Greenidge of the Forgotten Youth Foundation was adjudged the best boxer of yesterday’s card Terernce Crage was adjudged the best referee/judge said Poole.
