Guyana’s Keevin Allicock fell out of the running at the International Boxing Association’s (AIBA’s) World Boxing Championships in Belgrade, Serbia following a loss on Thursday.
Keevin Allicock and his opponent await the results following their clash on Thursday
Allicock, who in the first preliminary stage received a bye, sending him directly to the Round of 32, was tasked with coming up against Rajkuran Juntrong of Thailand. However, the Thai boxer’s aggression proved too much for the Guyanese Allicock; at least according to the judges’ scorecards.
Regarded as having a similar “hop-in, hop-out” style to that of Manny Pacquiao, Juntrong was scored tens across the board from the 5- judge panel in the three- round fight, while Allicock, received 9s, resulting in a loss on points for the Guyanese pugilist.
Keevin Allicock is one of two boxers representing Guyana at the World Championships. The other is Desmond Amsterdam, who will head into the ring on Saturday, October 30, in a 75kg bout. The two boxers are accompanied by three-star Coach Terrence Poole MS.
