Pyke dethrones Charles at Boxing Champs

The Open Class boxers did not disappoint as Aaron Cumberbatch (Cosmic), Lavel Nurse (THA Elite) and Akiel Outram (Cosmic) all prevailed, as the referees had to stop proceedings to spare their respective opponents further punishment. Outram was the pick of the crop as he showed finesse in picking apart Gideon Prince (Prince Gladiators) who found himself on the canvas. Marinus Coutain (Fine Line) and Kyle Ragoonath (Ultimate Gym) won the Novice Heavyweight and Novice Lightweight titles respectively in similar fashion.

Coutain coolly subdued an aggressive Adam Seedalsingh (Roughouse) with long jabs on the outside and a variety of short quick punches in the clinch, while Ragoonath was too much to handle for Aaron Joseph (Golden Fist). Rough House boxer Jean Marc Borel took the Light Welterweight title by a slim 3-2 margin over Magic’s Asad Fabien, while Borel’s clubmate Joash Walkins sneaked a 7-6 victory over Keslon Raymond (Magic).
