Desmond Amsterdam, the great Guyanese light heavyweight champion, may have missed out on a chance to reach the medal round in the International Boxing Association (IBA) Elite Boxing Championships after suffering a unanimous points loss to Spain's Gazimagomed Jalidov on Tuesday, but his remarkable achievements cannot be ignored. Despite this setback, Amsterdam's greatness remains an inspiration to Guyanese everywhere. He had previously captured a bronze medal at the AMBC and South American champions last year and had hoped to progress to the quarter-finals to claim yet another well-deserved hardware at the IBA Championships. Though he lost on all five judges' scorecards, with scores of 26-30, 28-29, 27-30, 27-30, and 28-29, Amsterdam's unwavering spirit, determination, and impressive accomplishments serve as a reminder to all Guyanese to strive for greatness and never give up on their dreams.
