Allicock, Lewis fall at semi-finals of CAC qualifiers

Keevin Allicock and Colin Lewis were stopped at the semi-finals of the Central American and Caribbean Games qualifiers (CAC) in Tijuana, Mexico on Thursday evening.
Both fighters were already assured of a spot at the Games which will be held in Colombia from July 19- August 3 after reaching the semi-finals with some powerful performances but were on the hunt to add even more accolades to their name.
For marque fighter Allicock, who is former Commonwealth Youth Silver medallist came against Cuba’s Robeisy Ramírez who is a product of the highly renowned Cuban School of Boxing and a two-time Olympic gold medallist. Their

bantamweight bout ended with the Cuban winning by unanimous decision.
For Lewis, his Junior Welterweight clash with Costa Rican Eduardo Sanchez went down to the wire but the spilt decision went in favour of Sanchez.
Guyana Boxing Association President Steve Ninvalle commenting on the performances of the duo spoke in high praise. Ninvalle felt Allicock certainly gave a good account of himself against a fighter who has won an Olympic gold medal. Regarding Lewis, he contended the result could have easily gone in favour of the Guyanese.
Next stop for the fighters will be the Commonwealth Games from April 4-15 in Australia.
