Casimero naghahalal sa Mukha Arroyo, Naglalagay hangarin ng Ruenroeng rematch sa Hold

 

Tagataguyod Sampson Lewkowicz ng Sampson Boxing sabi ng kanyang manlalaban, former IBF and WBO Light Flyweight Champion Johnriel “Quadro Alas” Casimero, hindi ituloy ng isang agarang rematch laban IBF flyweight kampeon Amnat Ruenroeng, ngunit sa halip ay tumingin para sa isang mas kapaki-pakinabang tugma laban McWilliams Arroyo Puerto Rico.

 

Pagtawag ito ang “business-pera career path” para sa kanyang 25-year-old na manlalaban mula sa Cebu City, Cebu, Pilipinas, Lewkowicz sabi ng well-marapat rematch laban Ruenroeng ay kailangang ilagay sa hold pansamantala.

 

Casimero nawala ng isang mataas na kahina-hinalang, madumi ang puno ng desisyon 12-round na Ruenroeng sa Hua Mark panloob Stadium sa Bangkok, Thailand, sa Hunyo 27. Ang kakaiba fight kasama ang kampeon na binigyan ng babala sa pamamagitan ng tagahatol Larry Doggett limang beses para sa pakikipagbuno Casimero sa canvas bago pagiging parusa. Sa isang hindi maarok na pagganap refereeing, Ibinigay din Doggett Ruenroeng credit para sa isang non-knockdown push at pinasiyahan ng isang lehitimong knockdown laban sa kampeon ng isang slip.

 

“Sa kabila ng kawalan ng katarungan na nagawa sa aking fighter noong Hunyo, kami ay paglagay aming hangarin ng isang Ruenroeng rematch sa likod mitsero sa pabor ng isang mas mahusay na pagkakataon sa mukha McWilliams Arroyo,” ipinaliwanag Lewkowicz. “Kami ay inaalok ng isa pang labanan sa Taylandiya upang gumawa ng up para sa mga ganap na kabiguan na naganap sa unang labanan, ngunit kung ano ang upang ihinto ito mula sa nangyayari sa isang ikalawang oras?”

 

Arroyo (din ang mga biktima ng isang kahina-hinalang desisyon laban Ruenroeng nakaraang taon) at Casimero halip ay mukha off sa isang madaling-to-maging-inihayag na oras at lugar sa susunod na taon.

 

“Ang nagwagi ng Casimero at Arroyo pagkatapos ay tumingin sa rematch Ruenroeng on neutral ground sa Estados Unidos maagang susunod na taon,” patuloy Lewkowicz. “Minsan paglalagay ng iyong kabiguan at pagkabigo layo para sa isang mas mahusay na oras mas makatuturan para sa karera ng eruplano at ito ay kung ano ang pagpili namin sa kasong ito. John Riel ay makakakuha ng kanyang katarungan sa huli at siya ay makakuha ng isang malaking pagkakataon sa mukha Puerto Rico Arroyo. Out ng isang masamang sitwasyon ay darating ang dalawa sa kanyang pinakamalaking tagumpay.”
