Hurricane George controversially lost the main event bout to Guadeloupian Joseph George on points.  Hurricane George was very offensive during the bout with solid jabs and uppercuts.

Local Boxing Association officials have expressed disappointment with the defeat of George, especially as from all reports he won the fight but it was controversially awarded to his opponent.

The local boxing association says this will not damper George and their efforts in continuing to spread the sport island wide and in providing much needed exposure to the many young up and coming boxers on the island. The association will continue to expose its boxers to as many regional opportunities as possible to improve on their craft in the sport of amateur boxing.
