Trinidad and Tobago’s boxing representatives demonstrated exceptional prowess at the Ronald Wilson Memorial tournament, hosted by the Barbados Boxing Association on December 19. The event, held at Bridgetown’s Graydon Sealy Secondary School, featured seven competitive bouts including three schoolboy matches representing various local gyms.
In the women’s welterweight division (65 kg), Tianna Guy delivered a commanding performance against Barbados’ Tiffany Delice. Guy established dominance from the opening bell with precise combinations of jabs and power punches that disrupted her opponent’s rhythm. The Trinidadian contender maintained relentless pressure throughout the second round, forcing the referee to halt the contest and award Guy a decisive technical victory.
The heavyweight division (80+ kg) witnessed an impressive rematch between TT’s Eyed George and Bajan boxer Kemara Stuart. Their encounter marked a repeat of November’s Golden Fist Promotions’ Fight Night II event in Petit Valley. George showcased superior technique and determination, ultimately securing victory through unanimous decision from the judges.
The tournament also highlighted emerging talent through schoolboy bouts featuring competitors from Downes Gym, Four Hill Gym, and Shaka School. Notable victories included Shaka School’s Malachi Estwick and Jaden Shorte, along with Four Hill’s Damarie Jack. International participants from Guadeloupe, Gueliann Mirre and Ethan Procrain, triumphed in their light middleweight and welterweight matches against Barbadian opponents Jaquan Grant and Nathan Walcott.
