Boxing show down....


Big fights are scheduled for this evening, former world contender Howard Eastman and current national middleweight champion "Deadly" Denny Dalton clash this evening at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.At 37 years, the Berbice-born Eastman who has twice fought unsuccessfully for world titles says he is looking forward to his first fight in Guyana and does not rule out continuing his career, although the former European champion has been written off by the international media. Eastman, who is a late replacement for another former world contender Raul Frank, told journalists that he was in perfect condition and promised Guyanese boxing fans "A show". Shelly "The Agricola Boom" Gibson will be squaring off with Trinidad and Tobago's Andrea Duncan in a four-round heavyweight contest while Charlton Skeete will battle with Cecil Smith in a super bantamweight four-rounder to round off the card. Bouts start at 8 don't miss the show, if you are for these things. Judging from the picture,they really did a weak job advertising for this bout, they had them posing one boxer in bermuda shorts and the other in jeans, next to what looks like a produce/ kitchen scale... how professional ..a damn mess.
