GUYANESE middleweight Brian Muller defeated American Ricardo Bryant on March 8, 1985. The contest was held at the Catholic Youth Centre in Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA and Muller won the eight-round bout by unanimous decision.The fight was the fourth in the USA for the southpaw Guyanese. Muller was 30 years old at the time and picked up his 16th professional victory against one loss. His only blemish then came at the hands of Mark Harris on Boxing Day of 1980. Harris had won by a split decision after 12 rounds.
Muller can easily be considered one of the best junior middleweight/middleweight boxers Guyana has produced. He had locked horns with the best from Guyana and around the world and at the end of an eventful career, walked away with only three defeats.
A master of the game, the southpaw would be remembered for epic battles against Reggie Ford, Mark Harris, Albert Browne and the legendary Lennox Beckles. Muller twice battled Harris, Browne and Ford.
In 1982 he pounded out back-to-back victories over Brown, while he drew with Ford in December 1979 and won on points in February 1983.
Muller now resides in Nevada, USA and will turn 62 on June 23.
