BARBADOS’ Keithland King reigned supreme on Saturday evening at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall, disposing of Guyana’s Derick Richmond after just six minutes of action.

The duo was the headline event at the Guyana Boxing Board of Control’s (GBBC), Young Guns `The Proving Ground’ five-fight boxing card, which was promoted by professional boxer Dexter Marques and former world-rater Clive Atwell.

The Barbadian improved his professional record to three wins in as many fights after forcing Guyana Derick Richmond to call it a ‘night’, at the conclusion of the second of their six-round middleweight contest.

The much-anticipated bout started off very casually with both boxers feeling out each other out during the first round.

King and Richmond went after each other during the second round; Richmond connecting with some telling combinations and King responding in like manner.

The fight seemed even going into the final minute, but King unleashed a barrage of one-two combinations that apparently hurt the Guyanese (Richmond) as he went back to his corner looking fit and well.

Surprisingly, when the gong sounded for the start of the third round, Richmond refused to come out of his corner, giving King a technical knockout (TKO) victory, his third in his three professional fight career. It is Richmond’s fifth loss after 11 fights.

In the main supporting bout on Saturday night, James Moore pounded a technical knock-out win against Romeo Norville in their four-round cruiserweight contest.

From the start of the contest, Moore dominated the proceedings, using his height and reach to great advantage to pummel his opponent at will with no resistance.

Moore forced the referee call a halt to the proceedings at the end of the third round of the four-round contest.
