LENNOX ‘Too Sharp’ Allen went the distance (10 rounds) with American Derrick Webster, but, when the dust settled, it was the Guyanese who walked out of the ring with a Unanimous Decision (UD) win and the World Boxing Association’s (WBA) Gold super middleweight title.

Allen knocked down Webster in the third round (for a 10-8 round), and was ahead on the scorecards from that point forward in the fight which took place at the Grand Casino, Hinckley, Minnesota, USA on Friday (February 15).
At the end of the contest, two judges scored the fight 98-91, while the other had it 97-92, all in favour of Allen.

Allen, 33, who started his boxing career at the former Forgotten Youth Foundation Gym, has now improved his ring-record to 22 wins and one draw in 23 outings; maintaining his unbeaten streak.

The defeat was Webster’s second in 30 fights, winning 28, 14 of which came by knockouts.
The hard-hitting Guyanese after the fight said that he expected the result, adding that finally all his hard work had paid off.

Allen said he’s excited to return home and enjoy the moment with his fans here in Guyana, but said he’s also looking forward to stepping into the ring soon.
