The inaugural Mackeson Fight Night continued on Saturday night at the National Cultural Centre tarmac with Marvin Ageday scoring a controversial split decision win over William Hendricks.
Ageday won two of the three rounds even though Hendricks knocked him down in the final round to come away with the win in the middleweight division, increasing his record to two wins following his win against Kevin Rodney in Linden two weeks ago.
A win on Sunday night can see him topping the division as the open-air event wraps up in Berbice this weekend. Rodney left the division wide open after he defeated Trevon King, who had beaten Hendricks by a unanimous decision.
The feature bout between Ageday and Hendricks sparked heated discussions among fight fans. Hendricks did more work in the two last rounds even though he was tattooed with some clean combinations from Ageday.
Seemingly an even contest after two rounds, Hendricks went on the offensive to gain the advantage.
Then a hard shot connected from Hendricks that put Ageday on the canvas.
In the middleweight division after two cards, Ageday remains unbeaten while King and Rodney have a win and a loss each. Hendricks is yet to record a win ahead of one remaining card in the Ancient County.
Ron Smith defeated Clifton Graham in the welterweight division while Bert Braithwaite kept his unbeaten record intact with a unanimous decision against Aquincy Harvey in the junior welterweight division.
He is on a collision course with Kurt Kendall, who lost a unanimous decision to Kelon King.
In the lightweight division, Stephan Gouveia knocked out Kevin Ting-A-Kee. Gouveia is unbeaten in the category while Clairmont Gibson, who outlasted Ting-A-Kee last week, lost a split decision to Anandram Dharamraj. Gouveia beat Dharamraj last week.
