RUGGED Mack chose May 22, 1960 to make his professional debut and won handsomely on that night at the Georgetown Football Club ground.
Mack was adjudged the winner by points when the six-round fight against Geoffrey Alexander came to an end.
Mack’s elation soon abated as he lost back-to-back contests to the legendary Lennox Beckles. The slick Beckles was undefeated in four fights when he first met Mack and went on to win the national welterweight title.
Following the two defeats, Mack who plied the welterweight division swerved back onto victory street. He travelled to Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago where he challenged Allot Marciano on August 15, 1964. The Guyanese won the eight-round fight by a split decision.
He hung up his gloves after losing to Trinidadian Anthony Gray in Georgetown in March 1966.
