CAESAR Barrow won the vacant Guyana lightweight title on May 22, 1960 following a fifth-round knockout of Emmett `Six Seconds’ Smith at the GFC ground. 

Barrow commenced his professional career on April Fool’s Day in 1955 and took on all the `Bad Johns’ in the region before calling it quits in November 1965.
On October 30, 1959 Barrow stopped Kid Chocolate II (Elmer Yearwood) in round two at the Wrightson Road Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad. The fight produced the 11th straight victory for Barrow.
It was the second meeting between the skilful fighter from Guyana and Kid Chocolate in two months of that year. Barrow had defeated Chocolate via a unanimous 10-round decision in August of the same year.
Barrow broke into the professional ranks on April 1, 1955 as a 21-year-old 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 stopped 46 percent of his opponents.
Barrow had 19 victories and seven defeats in a 10-year career. He lost six of his last seven fights and died in July 2005.
