TEAM Guyana continued its dominance of the second Caribbean Development Boxing Tournament being held in Barbados and ended up being ungracious guest by roughing up the host.
Reports from the island state that Guyana Defence Force (GDF) private Clairmont Gibson put himself in line for promotion when he snatched gold in the bantamweight division.
Gibson, for the second time this year overpowered Barbadian Ajayi Jones to be crowned Caribbean bantamweight champion. The brutal three-round brawl saw the Bajan being floored and the referee raising the Guyanese hand after the final bell.

Later that night Akel Mounter added Guyana’s fourth gold medal when he defeated Curlan Robinson of Anguilla in a youth light heavyweight contest.
Guyana found El Dorado on Thursday when junior boxer Isiah Moore (son of Leon Moore) stopped the host country’s Rashawn Holder in the first round. Olympic prospect Kevin Allicock then added gold number two with the destruction of another Barbadian,Stephan Harding,also in the first round.

Colin `Superman’Lewis and Desmond Amsterdam, both members of the GDF, Jason `AK 47’ Barker, Christopher Moore, Kevin Allicock and Joel Williamson were down to battle for gold medals last night. Team Guyana is expected back home tomorrow.
The local team almost didn’t make it to the tournament due to a lack of sponsorship. However, president of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) Steve Ninvalle undertook a grueling one hundred mile walk which realized the funds.
