Rey Anton Olarte, the 27 year old Sydney-based Filipino has scored a 4th round TKO over Australian Casey Hannan in a fight card in Southport, Queensland in which the Filipino weighed 145 ? pounds and his opponent 149 ?.
The fight was stopped at 0:51 of the 4th round when Hannan suffered excessive bleeding from the nose which was believed to have been broken.
The win improved Olarte?s record to 11-14-4 with 2 knockouts.
However, the intriguing if not questionable aspect of Olarte who is reportedly managed by Dido Bohol, a migrant from Cebu who has been condemned by some Australian promoters for exploiting fighters he recruits from the Philippines, is that Olarte has been moving up and down in weight like a yo-yo according to the records of boxrec.com.
In his previous fight on June 26 against Juan Farzan Ali which he lost by an eight round split decision Olarte came in at 133 ? pounds which meant he had moved up almost 16 pounds to fight Hannan.
According to boxrec.com when Olarte faced Naoufel Ben Rabah and lost on May 10 he came in at 143 ? pounds while Rabah weighed 146.
In an April 29 bout when he lost a four round decision to Ryan Langham, Olarte weighed in at 135 ? while his opponent weighed 135.
Facing Pat Rullo over whom he won a six round unanimous decision on February 27 this year Olarte tipped the scales at 149 pounds while Rullo checked in at 153 ?.
In his December 2, 2009 clash with Sedat Tacsi which ended in a 2nd round technical draw Olarte was listed at weighing 136 pounds while Tasci was 137 ?.
