Fight fans can get a glimpse of how IBF flyweight challenger John Reil Casimero looks when Viva Sports telecasts a one hour pre-fight special on Pinoy Box Office (PBO) over Sky Cable at 8:30 p.m. today as a prelude to his much-awaited rematch against Thai champion Amnat Ruenroeng on March 25 in Beijing, China.
Casimero did a final workout this afternoon in order to sweat off some excess weight in time for the revenge rematch which will highlight the IBF Convention this week.
Both John Reil and trainer Jhun Agrabio as well as Dr. Rajan Yraola in whose gym he worked out are confident that with fair judging and no hometown decision similar to that in Bangkok when eleven months ago Amnat won a decision which was hugely controversial because of the lousy officiating by referee Larry Doggett who was bitterly criticized for his failure to penalize the champion for several violations including takedowns.
For the rematch the IBF has named renowned referee Tony Weeks.
The Casimero-Amnat special will include highlights of their first title fight courtesy of the Thai TV network that covered the fight and TV 5 whose commentators were the youthful duo of James Velasquez and Carlo Pamintuan.
Viva Sports will carry glimpses of Casimero?s victory over Argentina?s Luis Lazarte whose supporters rioted after the referee stopped the bout in round ten and awarded Casimero a TKO victory.
It will also telecast highlights of Casimero?s first successful title defense against Mexico?s Pedro Guevara.
A significant portion of ?The Main Event? will show Casimero training as well as interviews with the challenger, trainer Agrabio and Dr. Yraola.
The special will be replayed at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow.
