In a blistering encounter in the final, Fraser (GDF) used his experience to secure a majority decision over his 17-year-old gym-mate Paul Lewis Jnr for the featherweight (57 kg) title.

Fraser knocked down the younger fighter in the first round with an uppercut and the referee instituted a standing eight-count for Lewis.

Lewis came out strong in the second round, nicely penetrating Fraser’s guard to land right-left combinations, but Fraser used his reach effectively to keep him out and land his own solid shots.

A blistering exchange ensued in the third round, with both sides scoring, while Lewis continued his aggression in the fourth round. Eventually Fraser got the 2-1decision.

Lewis who only recently fought at the Intermediate level, was later voted the Most Improved Boxer for his performance against the more experienced Fraser.

Former Carifta Best Boxer Leonard Henry (GDF) was less fortunate. He was dropped with a solid right to head by gym-mate Revlon Lake in the third round. The referee counted him and he retired 45 seconds in the round.

In both previous rounds, Henry was given mandatory counts. In the first round, Lake landed a left-right combination to head for the count, in the second, he sent in a leading left, followed with a solid right for the count.

Three other bouts ended when boxers retired. Bryson Marshall (GDF) took 1:45 minutes in the second round to clinch the Bantamweight trophy, over Kofi Dixon (Young Lions). Marshall landed some good combinations despite the wild lounges by Dixon.

Then in the second round, Marshall peppered Dixon who ran away on three occasions to the delight of the crowd. Eventually, the referee counted out Dixon who indicated he did not want to continue.

In the light-heavyweight encounter, Devon Harris punished Marlon Rodney with constant left shots and followed up with straight rights, forcing the referee to give Rodney two mandatory counts. After the second count, Rodney retired in 1:59 minutes.

Namesake Seaburn Duncan (Forgotten Youth Foundation) pounded Eon Duncan (Young Lions) and the Lindener retired 1:41 minutes in the second round.

The carded started with a hot light-flyweight battle between Wilmot Hutson (GDF) and Dexter Marques (FYF). Hutson quickly landed a telling right-left combination for a mandatory count to Marques who did well to counter with some good shots to head.

Marques was again counted in the second round with another left-right combination to head. But again, he did not back off, scoring some solid ones.

Then in the third round, Marques connected an overhand right and surprisingly the referee counted Hutson. But in the fourth round, Marques again landed a wicked overhand right and this time, the referee correctly counted Hutson. Hutson finished the fight strong, landing many more scoring shots for a unanimous decision. Marques was voted the Most Charismatic Boxer.

Sithole George (GDF) gained a 2-1majority decision over Steve Reman (GDF). George used his reach well, but Reman still landed a left-right combination to head and George was counted.

George was again counted in the third round, when Reman connected with a powerful overhand right to head. However, George ended the round stronger as Reman was visibly weary. Reman continued landing leading lefts, followed by the right shot. Eventually George gained the nod.

A surprise unanimous decision went to Lennox Allen (FYF) over Aluko Venture (GDF) for the lightweight trophy. Not much happened in the bout, but Venture got in some solid ones, while Allen was clearly slapping. Allen landed some good body shots just before the bell in the third round, but Venture connected steadily towards the end of the bout.

Unanimous decisions went to Iwan Azore (Republican) over Andrew Green (Young Lion) in the welterweight scrap; to Rayon O’Neil (GDF) over Jermaine Clarke (GDF) in the light-middleweight bout; and to James Walcott (FYF) over Dwayne Schroeder (GDF).
