By Sean Devers

A DAY of mixed action was what unfolded at the Andrew ‘Six Head’ Lewis Gym in Albouystown yesterday when the Mike Parris School Boys U-16 Boxing Championships got underway.
It was a day which saw some good, some not good and a very entertaining bout among youngsters in the squared circle.

The best bout was undoubtedly the contest between 13-year-old Keyon Britton from the Village of Farm on the East Bank of Essequibo and the very talented Curtis McDonald from Rose Hall Jammers in Berbice.

The promising young pugilist from the Vergenoegen Boxing Gym who is Coached by Clifton Moore, traded punches with McDonald in three entertaining rounds with the small gathering on their feet.
