GUYANA’S Keevin Allicock saw his time at the AIBA World Championship in Belgrade, Serbia ending, following his defeat to Rajkuran Juntrong of Thailand earlier yesterday.

Having received a ‘bye’ to the Round-of-32, Allicock lost all three rounds to the Thai boxer, despite showing his usual flamboyance and good use of the ring.

Allicock, who was the first boxer for Guyana at the Olympics since John Douglas in 1996, was out-boxed by his opponent and finished second on the judges scorecards at the end of each round.

Meanwhile, middleweight Desmond Amsterdam, who also received a first-round bye, will be in action this weekend.
