Casimero viciously attacked by thugs in Argentina - Riot

Newly crowned IBF light flyweight champion Johnriel Casimero and the members of Team Casimero was viciously attacked by thugs masquerading as fans and even members of badly beaten former champion Luis Lazarte in Argentina. 


An emotional but joyful Gello-ani told us in the end it was all worthwhile because Casimero “ did his best to get the title back to Philippines the hard way and this is his best gift to our countrymen. Besides, the title victory was dedicated to his younger brother who died of a heart problem just one day before Johnriel left Cebu for the fight in Argentina. It’s Casimero’s birthday on February 13 and there could be no better gift to share with his family and his countrymen.” 

 Gello-ani told his wife they will try to savor this victory considering the circumstances. Casimero stopped Luis Alberto Lazarte of Argentina in the 10th to win the title vacated by the injured Ulises Solis. An ugly riot, whose video is on the net, ensued.
