CASIMERO CALLS OUT CHOCOLATITO FOR UNIFICATION MATCH PhilBoxing.com Thu, 26 May 2016  Lewkowicz (L) and Casimero. Sampson Boxing Congratulates John Riel Casimero for Title-Winning Victory Over Anmat Ruenroeng Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing sends his warm congratulations to his newest champion, John Riel Casimero of Cebu City, Philippines, for his KO 4 victory over previously unbeaten IBF flyweight champion Anmat Ruenroeng at the Diamond Court in Beijing, China. In a rematch of their controversial first fight in June 2015, won by Ruenroeng by unanimous decision, Casimero (22-3, 14 KOs) dropped Ruenroeng (17-1, 5 KOs) twice in the fourth round to end things at 2:10. A counter left hook dropped the champion first and then a follow-up left hook to the body brought the finish. Casimero is now a two-time world champion. He previously held the IBF Light Flyweight Championship from 2012-2014 and made three successful defenses before moving up in weight. The new champion joins Sampson Boxing promotional stablemates Oscar Escandon and Hugo Ruiz to become Sampson's third world champion to be crowned this year. He also handles current WBA World Super Featherweight Champion Javier Fortuna. "John Riel has gotten this out of the way now," said Lewkowicz of defeating Ruenroeng. "My congratulations to him and to his people in the Philippines. He is now their third current world champion and is very proud to represent them. Next, we want to unify against Chocolatito. Tell him we are ready any time." Referring to current WBC Champion Roman Gonzalez, Lewkowicz says this is a fight that needs to happen. "They say no one wants to fight Gonzalez. We do! John Riel is right here and ready to unify the championships. My phone is always on. Let's make it happen."  |
