Trinidad and Jamaica share spoils on night two
TRINIDAD and Tobago’s Patrick Sahadeo and Jean-Paul Cooper finally gave their camp something to cheer about, after a disappointing start, at the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA), Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) International Goodwill tournament which continued at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on Saturday night.The four nation box off saw the host dominating the opening night, but the ‘Trinis’ had their way with their Jamaican opponents.

In the first of four fights on the card, Jamaica’s Michael Alexander took Sahadeo the full distance, but the Trinidadian had connected more times than his opponent and as such, earned the win on points.

Jamaican Anthony Clarke was visibly not happy after his lost to Cooper since he had put the Trinidadian to the canvas in the first round, but that wasn’t enough to earn him the win.

Cooper bounced back and had a solid remainder of the first round and did enough after the ring doctor stopped the fight due to excessive bleeding from the forehead of the Trinidadian due to the head-butt in round two, to win on points.

However, Kestas Davids of Jamaica was beating Akeil Outram so badly, the Trinidadian refused to answer to the call of the referee to come out for the final round.

Guyana’s Ron Smith was able to bounce back from his opening night defeat to Outram, picking up a well deserved victory on points over St. Lucia’s Ron Bastien.

The tournament concluded last evening.
