    ~ Andrew Lewis ~

    Amateur Record ........ 45-3 {44 KO's}

    1991 > Guyana {Light Welterweight Champion > 63.5 Kg}
    1992 > Guyana {Welterweight Champion > 67 Kg}
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    August 1991 > Pan Am Games {Havana, Cuba} > Light-Welterweight Division

    In the First Round of Eliminations, young 20 year-old Andrew drew the 'dangerous punching'
    Candelario Duvergel of Cuba.

    The 28 year-old 'fast-handed' and experienced Cuban had a record of 197-15 with {56 KO's},
    to go along with numerous International Tournament Awards.

    For '2-Rounds', both Light-Welterweights slugged away in an exciting and even contest.

    But in Round 3, the Cuban went wild with a barrage, and sent Andrew stumbling back to the Ropes.

    An 'over-cautious' Referee jumped in and called the bout over at the {1:55 Mark}, awarding the TKO
    win to the Cuban 'home-country' Hero.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    April 1992 > Winner {Welterweight Division} South American Championships {Mendoza, Argentina}

    Andrew won in the Finals, by scoring a devastating {KO 1} over 'highly-regarded' Venezuelan
    Jose Guzman.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    August 1992 > Olympic Representative {Barcelona, Spain} > Welterweight Division

    Andrew lost in the Opening Round of the Tournament, as he was edged out by
    East German - Andres Otto, by a {8-7} points score.

    Andreas Otto was ranked as the #2 World Amateur Welterweight at the 1992 Olympics,
    and was predicted as a 'pre-favorite' Medal Winner in the Division in the 'loaded'
    Welterweight Division of '30' participants.

    This bout was a 'nail-biter' and the Los Angeles Times reported that Andrew Lewis
    was in the bout all the way to the end, and should have been awarded the Decision.

    Luckily for the East German, the scoring went his way and Andreas Otto avoided the
    embarrassment of getting bumped-out in a First Round Elimination bout to a little-known
    Guyanese boxer.

    [B][/How 'Six Heads' got his name.B]


    According to Andrew, he got the nickname when he was 7 years-old in 1978.

    In a Junior Boxing Tournament, Andrew sent his young opponent to the canvas
    several times, before winning by a Referee stoppage.

    After the Boxing Match, Andrew and his defeated opponent were in the dressing
    area {locker room} waiting to be checked by the local Commissiion Ring Physician.

    When the young boy who got 'floored several times' by Andrew, was asked by the
    Ring Physician how he felt.

    The young boy said he saw 'Six-Heads'.

    Immediately, a young Andrew Lewis liked the 'phrase', and took the nickname
    'Six Heads'.

    How 'Six Heads' got his nickname.

    According to Andrew, he got the nickname when he was 7 years-old in 1978.

    In a Junior Boxing Tournament in Georgetown, Guyana > Andrew sent his young
    opponent to the canvas several times, before winning by a Referee stoppage.

    After the Boxing Match, Andrew and his defeated opponent were in the dressing
    area {locker room} sitting near each other, waiting to be checked out by the local
    Commission Ring Physician.

    When the young boy who got 'floored several times' by Andrew, was asked by the
    Ring Physician how he felt.

    The young boy said he was dizzy, and saw 'Six-Heads' spinning.

    Immediately, a young Andrew Lewis liked the 'phrase', and took the nickname
    'Six Heads'.

    Andrew Lewis

    Started off boxing in Georgetown, Guyana in 1978, as a 7 year-old in local
    'Pre-Junior Tournaments'.

    Progressed into the Juniors in 1982 as a 12 year-old.

    By 1986, Andrew was now competing in the Guyana National Events.

    Andrew 'Six Heads' Lewis

    I had a lot of bouts when I was a youngster. We didn't keep win/loss records in
    those Junior Events. But I would think that I walked into the Ring at least 100-times
    in those 'supervised bouts'.

    By mid-1986 {Age 15 1/2} I was fighting as a Lightweight. I was a 'southpaw', and
    was working hard to develop my punch. There were several other left-handed boxers
    {Southpaws} in that Division in Guyana, but nobody could punch like me.

    I won my first 18-Bouts by Knockout. Then, none of the other Trainers would put their
    fighters in the Ring with me.

    They said I was too powerful, and a 'Head-Hunter' who could ruin a boxer.
