FIVE ACTIVE FILIPINO WORLD CHAMPIONS PART 2

JOHN RIEL CASIMERO
Living by his moniker “Angas ng Pinas,” John Riel Casimero definitely brings the fire in
and outside of the ring.
He may be the most controversial Pinoy boxer but Quadro Alas is a three-division world
champion/
Following his 10th-round knockout of local Argentine boxer Luis Alberto Lazarte for the
IBF interim junior flyweight championship on February 11, 2012, Casimero and
members of his entourage were kicked and assaulted by spectators in Mar del Plata
who hurled chairs and invaded the ring. Casimero and his colleagues were led to their
hotel and given security following the violence. Later, Lazarte came to apologize. After
Casimero won the title fight, Argentine supporters attacked him in the ring, prompting
the Philippines to submit a diplomatic protest with the Argentine government. . The IBF
banned Lazarte for making a threat, which resulted in a ring riot.
On July 19, 2012, Casimero was upgraded to the status of full IBF junior flyweight
champion because of the inability of Ulises Solis to defend his title on or before October
30.
In a contentious fight on June 27, 2015, he lost his comeback to flyweight by unanimous
decision against IBF champion Amnat Ruenroeng. Casimero challenged Ruenroeng for
the IBF flyweight title again on May 25, 2016, and knocked him out in the fourth round
with a powerful left hook to the body to become a two-division world champion.
Casimero fought Zolani Tete for the WBO bantamweight title in Birmingham, England
on November 30, 2019. Despite being the underdog in the bout, Casimero knocked out
Tete in the third round to win the WBO bantamweight title. Casimero became a three-
division world champion as a result of his victory.

RENE MARK CUARTO
Cuarto made his professional debut on June 28, 2014, when he defeated Rodante
Suacasa in a four-round unanimous decision (UD) at the Almendras Gym in Davao City,
Philippines.
He won the vacant WBO Oriental mini-flyweight title by twelve-round unanimous
decision over Clyde Azarcon at the Gaisano Mall in Davao, Philippines, after a 15–1–1
(9 KO) record.
He fought IBF mini-flyweight champion Pedro Taduran on February 27, 2021 at the Bula
Gym in General Santos, Philippines, after four more fights–two victories, one loss, and a
draw. Cuarto defeated Taduran through unanimous decision over twelve rounds in a
battle that saw Cuarto box at range while the defending champion took a more
aggressive approach. All three judges scored the bout 115–113 for Cuarto.

PONCIANO

Pacquiao-Mayweather 2 officially in talks?

The US jury voted against Manny Pacquiao in his Paradigm Sports Management Civil Lawsuit.

Boxing’s only eight-division world champion has been ordered to pay $5.1 million for the damages and the advance money Paradigm Sports had given him.

The Management filed breach of contract against the Filipino icon in his deal two years ago.

Despite losing the case, Pacquiao is confident that the decision can still be shifted to his camp’s favor.

Conor McGregor who is also under the PSM tweeted that Pacquiao should not let it happen again.

‘Manny owes 8 in all. 5.1 he owes and then 2.1 in legal costs. Legal fees are heavy but that’s what we do. Heavy weight operations,’ the Irishman said on a now deleted separate tweet.

Davis: Seven o eight rounds lang itatagal ni Garcia

It’s just a week away from the highly anticipated showdown inside the boxing ring, and Ryan Garcia is confident that he can surprise the champion, Gervonta Davis, and the entire boxing community.

Known for his lethal left hook, Garcia seems to have a new weapon up his sleeve, which he honed during his training camp and plans to showcase on April 22nd inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Despite putting on weight, Garcia still possesses his lightning-fast speed, and he claims that he is not intimidated by Davis.

“He’s nothing scary. He’s just a guy that’s trying his best to climb to the top as well, and we’re just meeting at a big event. That’s it.”

Considered the underdog in the fight, Garcia has the support of other boxers like Jermall Charlo, who even bet $10,000 on Garcia.

Boxing legend “Sugar” Shane Mosley is also rooting for Garcia, as well as Mario Barrios and boxing promoter Eddie Hearn.

Tank Davis Mimics Mike Tyson to defeat Ryan Garcia

After a devastating 7^th round KO, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis fans saw a Mike Tyson blows Ryan Garcia with a twist in T Mobile Arena, April 22.

“Tank is very comfortable fighting taller people because when he fights he catapults himself, and pushes himself in the air, so it makes it very difficult to stop his attack cause it’s very awkward when you’re in the air, normally you have no power. But, the way which he catapults himself, it’s almost like a gun being fired. He flies right into you with every ounce of power.” Tyson said in an interview.

Meanwhile, a fan said “What the commentators didn’t mention is that this was a Mike Tyson style body blow which was generated from tank being in that crouched position, the upward motion generated much more from the legs and hips, plus being accurate and well timed, well played from tank.”

Davis got 58 total score from the judges while Garcia got 55. Tank Davis dominated Garcia in almost all rounds except round 1 and 6.

Boxing fans noticed the perfect timing and patience of Davis on the 7^th round as he landed a liver blow that led Ryan Garcia to kneel down with pain.

According to the Way of Martial Arts, just as a shot to the chest area can leave you without air for a while or a dangerous shot to the head could render you unconscious, a liver shot can be just as painful and just as dangerous.

It can be recalled that Tank Davis has been compared to Mike Tyson due to their common styles. Although, Mike rejects that similarity except with Tanks Police issues.
