NOTABLE DATES

LALTA Narine had secured six victories in nine fights when he signed up to fight Malcolm Darson. The contest was held on January 31, 1988 at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. At its conclusion, Narine was adjudged the winner of the six-rounder by unanimous decision.Born on April 3, 1968, Narine is a part of a small group of Indo-Guyanese to have taken up the fistic sport. Motee `Kid’ Singh, Ramesh Best, Robin Lall and Elton Dharry are also members of that group. Narine was given the pseudonym `Coolie Bully’ which he represented with gusto in the ring.

He had his first professional fight in October 1986 and was three times unsuccessful when challenging for the featherweight title of Guyana. Narine had 18 fights (11 wins and seven defeats) in a career that spanned eight years.
However, his last fight is still regarded by many boxing buffs as his best performance. Fighting against Robin `The Albion Prince’ Lall at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on April 30, 1994, Narine boxed and brawled for 12 rounds but came up on the losing end.
He quit the sport soon after.
