Boxing sa Makati

IBF light flyweight champion Johnreil Casimero was to defend his crown against Felipe Salguero of Mexico on Oct. 26 at the Makati Coliseum. This was goin to be Casimero's  first title fight in his home country and I was given the task of shooting it by Philboxing.com (http://philboxing.com/news/story-88445.html). Casimero successfully defended his title by an exciting 11th round KO.
 
The supporting bouts did not dissappoint either. 3 pinoy pugs won over their respective Thai opponents by either a KO or UD.

Casimero is all focus on Salguero.

The main bout had Casimero facing a very tough Salguero who was able to shrug off killer blows and a knockdown from the champ. It took 11 rounds before Casimero finally found the chinkin the mexican's armor.
