Klass secured the win. But despite the loss, Mederick&#8217;s performance also contributed to St Lucia&#8217;s overall third-place finish at the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guyana claimed their seventh consecutive title with 38 points. Trinidad and Tobago followed with 29 points, while St Lucia earned 13 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proud St Lucians took to Facebook to congratulate the young boxer, &#8220;Well done, Nervon. We at the Morne Du Don School are so very proud of you,&#8221; exclaimed Jacinta Auguste. Another, Simie Dani Gustav, added &#8220;Congratulations little one, great job!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SLBA undoubtedly chose well in its decision to field promising young boxers like Nervon Mederick and his teammates.
