Ra'eese Aleem Remains Unbeaten Scores 11th KO Against Victor Pasillas Captures Interim WBA Super Bantamweight Title PhilBoxing.com Sun, 24 Jan 2021  In a battle of two undefeated fighters, Ra'eese Aleem of Muskegon, Michigan put on a dominant show by dropping Vic Pasillas of Redwood City, California four times en route to a 11th round TKO victory to capture the vacant WBA Interim super bantamweight title at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut Saturday night (Sunday in Manila). Aleem, now with 18 straight wins 12 by knockouts, knocked down Pasillas in rounds two, six, nine and 11 before Danny Schiavone waved off the fight at 1:00 of the 11th round. Pasillas absorbed his first loss and dropped to 16-1-0, 9KOs. Ra’eese Aleem Quotes: “I feel great. We had a good camp. I was dominant. I wanted to put an exclamation point with this performance. It feels absolutely amazing. It just confirms what I knew in my head, that I have elite power. He’s one of the top fighters in the division so to knock him out, it means I’m a true threat. “I think a lot of people were sleeping on me and my power. I wasn’t surprised that I stopped him. I didn’t think he’d be able to go the distance with me. I think a lot of the fighters in this division should really be on notice. “I wanted to knock him out. But I wasn’t necessarily trying to go for the knockout early. I was just seeing the openings and everything came together. “It doesn’t matter who I fight next. I’m ready to fight any world champion. Whether it’s the winner of Leo-Fulton or if Murodjon Akhmadaliev wants to come out of hiding. “Any current world champion that’s willing to fight, I’m ready. I’ve got the pen, send the contract. Whether that’s Brandon Figueroa, Akhmadaliev – he has two of the belts and is a tremendous fighter. He hasn’t defended his belts yet. Any one of those fights would be a great fight. “I couldn’t feel his power. There wasn’t like one punch he hit me with and I was like, ‘Damn, I got to watch out.’ I knew he was a hard hitter but I didn’t feel his power tonight. “I’m a diverse fighter. Coming into this fight, I didn’t know what kind of fighter I was facing. But I pride myself in being able to adapt. I’m not one-dimensional: I can brawl, I can box. I just took what he gave me. “I was able to give him different looks. And being able to explode in those small spaces, I feel I was able to capitalize. “Early on, I was touching him and he could feel my power. He was grunting when I hit him in the body. So I knew he didn’t want to be aggressive because he could feel it.” ABOUT LEO VS. FULTON Leo vs. Fulton will see WBO Junior Featherweight World Champion Angelo Leo take on unbeaten rising star Stephen "Cool Boy Steph" Fulton Jr. in the main event live on SHOWTIME Saturday, January 23 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
