About John Riel Reponte Casimero
On August 23, 2008, just a year after turning pro, Casimero defeated #RodelQuilaton for the then vacant #PhilippinesBoxingFederation (#PBF) Flyweight title, winning a unanimous decision (UD) through ten rounds. Following the bout, Casimero moved down one division, to light flyweight, defeating #LiempetchSorVeerapol of #Thailand by technical knockout (TKO) in the fifth round to claim the then vacant #WBOAsiaPacific Light Flyweight title. Casimero successfully defended that title two bouts later against #ArdinDiale, until he got the biggest break of his career.
On December 19, 2009, in Managua, Nicaragua, Casimero won the then vacant interim #WBO light flyweight title, by defeating former interim #WBALight Flyweight champion #CésarCanchila of #Colombia. Canchila had a record of 28–2 coming into the bout, with his last loss coming from current #WBA Light Flyweight World Champion #GiovanniSegura, whom he previously defeated for the interim title. Casimero gave a spectacular performance, the fight being his first outside his home country. He was able to knockdown Canchila multiple times until the referee finally stopped the bout in the 11th round of the scheduled 12 round interim title fight
This win can give Casimero a title shot against Iván Calderón of Puerto Rico, who previously defeated Filipino boxer Rodel Mayol. Casimero fought #RamónGarcíaHirales on July 3, 2010, for his first defense of the interim #WBO light flyweight title but lost by split decision.
On February 11, 2012, Casimero, and members of his team were kicked and assaulted when fans in Mar Del Plata hurled chairs and stormed the ring following his 10th-round knockout of local Argentine fighter #LuisAlbertoLazarte for the IBF junior flyweight championship.
After the riot, police escorted Casimero and his team to their hotel and provided protection for them. #AlbertoLazarte later visited to apologize.
The #Philippines has filed a diplomatic protest to the Argentine government after Argentine fans attacked John Riel Casimero, a #Filipino fighter, in the ring after winning the title bout.
Philippine Foreign Affairs spokesman #RaulHernandez stated that his country's embassy filed a protest with Argentina's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is awaiting an explanation. #Boxer #AlbertoLazarte was banned by #IBFfor threat, sparking a ring riot.
On July 19, 2012, Casimero was declared as the regular IBFJunior#Flyweight World Champion because of the inability of Ulises Solis to defend his title on or before October 30.
On his first defense of the IBF junior flyweight title, Casimero faced #PedroGuevarra of Mexico on August 4, 2012. He scored a knockdown in the opening round and fought to a split decision victory.
He successfully made a second defense of his title against #WBCLatino light flyweight champion #LuisAlbertoRios on March 16, 2013. His third defense was against #FelipeSalguero on October 26, 2013 and he won by eleventh-round knockout.
Flyweight Division
Casimero got his first shot at a world title when he challenged Moruti Mthalane of South Africa for the IBF flyweight title on March 26, 2011.[12] He was, however, stopped by the South African in five rounds, therefore marking his second career loss.
Following his win against #MauricioFuentes and #ArmandoSantos, Casimero moved back up to the flyweight division. On June 27, 2015, Casimero lost his return to flyweight bout via unanimous decision against #IBFflyweight champion #AmnatRuenroeng in a controversial match. On May 25, 2016, #Casimero challenged #Ruenroeng again for the #IBF flyweight title and knocked him out with a vicious body shot in the 4th round.
