Casimero knocks out opponent causes riot (2012)

Have you ever witnessed a poor sportsmanship? Or do you remember the infamous GilasPilipinas and Australia brawl inside the Philippine Arena?
Well, even before that something similar had already happened involving a Filipino.
It was the fight of John Riel Casimeroagainst the Argentinian Luis Alberto Lazarte for the IBF Light Flyweight belt.
It took place at the Club Once Unidos, Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2012.
The “Quadro Alas” Casimero was in home court disadvantage during the fight but he showed fantastic boxing skills that led to the T.K.O victory on the 10nth round.
But why the fans in attendance were furious on Casimero and his side?
Well, it was because due to an illegal punch of Casimero to the back of the head of Lazarte.
Lazarte was given five minutes to recover but he didn’t recover quickly and Casimero dominated him by knocking him down twice in the ninth, one which was saved by the bell.
He then continued the next round but was taking too much punishment that the referee stopped the fight even before Lazarte’s side throw in the towel.
Casimero was celebrating but some fans already threw in bottles in the ring. He even stood up on the ropes beating his chest and in just an instant the crowd surrounded them. Chairs and bottles were threw at them. They did try to cover and move around the ring to avoid the things being thrown.
As they helplessly exited, the crowd went for them and they needed the police assistant to get away from the rioters.
The fans were angry because they felt like their boxer was cheated.
The incident went viral and the country took the responsibility as they were temporarily banned from hosting any boxing match.
Imagine the pressure in that situation? He was in the enemy’s territory but I guessed his quadro alas luck worked as they exited not severely injured.
And those moments are what made Casimero a tough boxer today.
He conquered every country and he’s getting braver every time he fights.
And that is what Mike Ducah must be prepared for. To fight a warrior not just a boxer.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
