TWENTY-year-old Caesar Barrow broke into the professional ranks on April 1, 1955 and Joe Primo was his first scalp. Barrow defeated Primo by points at the end of the four-round contest. Born on March 4, 1935, Barrow was a skilled lightweight boxer who knocked out 46 percent of his opponents. He was undefeated in 12 fights when he challenged Trinidadian James Harper at the BGCC ground in March 1960.

Harper seemed in a rush for another engagement and so knocked out the Guyanese in the first round. However, Barrow was quick to return the favour and gained revenge in September of the next year. Then, Harper was KOed in round three.
Barrow had 19 victories and seven defeats in a 10-year career and won the national lightweight title in May 1960, following a fifth-round knockout of Emmett Smith at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) ground.
Barrow lost six of his last seven fights and finally hung up his gloves in November of 1965. He died in July 2005.
