Sports Week in Review

Jan 28, 2018 Sports, https://www.kaieteurnewsonline...orts-week-in-review/

We look back at the past week of local sporting activities. We had several events including boxing, cricket and football among others. We start with boxing.

Bad Blood Card lives up to the hype

The eagerly anticipated six-fight `Bad Blood’ fight card organised by a collaborative effort of the Guyana Boxing Board of Control (GBBC)/NexGen Global Marketing (NGGM), lived up to the hype.
Staged at Cliff Anderson Sports Hall as Professional Boxing returned to venue for the first time in two years, a near capacity crowd watched as Guyana’s Dexter ‘De Kid’ Marques and Venezuelan Dionis Arias produced an entertaining display in the Main Event with Marques getting a unanimous decision over Arias after 10 rounds of Flyweight action.
USA based Guyanese Elton ‘Coolie Bully’ Dharry was clinical in his Bantamweight encounter over eight rounds against Jesus Barcelo of Venezuela which also ended in a unanimous verdict for the CABOFE and Inter-Continental bantamweight champion.
But it was also a disappointing night for local Boxers and fans as Dexter Gonsalves was out-jabbed by his much shorter opponent from Venezuela, Felipe Barcelo and lost my a majority decision.
Guyana’s Anson Green was stopped in 1:35 minutes of the second round in his Junior Middleweight battle with Bajan Keithland King.
Local boy Shawn Corbin was having things his own way against T&T’s WBC FECARBOX Light Heavyweight Champion Sheldon Lawrence and after eight rounds was in front on all of the Judges’ cards until he was hit with a brutal upper-cut and was knocked unconscious in 2:22 seconds of the 11th round of their 12-round title fight.
In the other fight of the night, six feet four inches James Moore was all over the heavier 35-year-old Berbician Sherwin Clarke. Both fighters were making their Professional debuts and Clarke was stopped in 2:44 seconds of the third round in the four-round match-up.

Guyanese Shawn Corbin was knocked Unconscious in the 11th round as T&T’s Sheldon Lawrence successfully defended his WBC FECARBOX Light Heavyweight Title.
