Argentina and Philippines

I saw that news on TV, and it's so disappointing that those Argentine boxing enthusiasts would react that way to or boxer. It wasn't his fault that he be declared the winner. And they have fought in Argentina so, how could our fighter be accused like that. They could have protested in a calmer manner, not punch the Philippine team members like that.

I saw the video on youtube and it was very poor sportsmanship. Lazarte, from my little research is actually known for his dirty tricks and he has never changed. The Philippine boxer Casimero, in my opinion and based from what I saw, got irate from his opponents dirty play and so in turn retaliated dirty. I would not want to be a saint in such a situation too especially when my opponent plays dirty throughout the match. There were rabbit punches, lowblows and even biting from Lazarte. It must have tasted salty when he bit Watch the video on youtube, there are slowmos to point out details of the match.

I just saw a news clip about this only a while ago. The news I heard had not mentioned the cause of the commotion, whether it was cheating or not, but whatever it was, what happened was truly very unsportsmanlike. I'm also disappointed with the promoters and organizers who allowed this thing to happen. The security protocol was very lame, if there was really one in place.

I have seen the fight itself I must say that is the most dirtiest fight ever since I have seen Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear on their fight.Lazarte fought dirty and as a result Casimero himself did some tricks too to save himself from Lazarte's antics =)) =)).But the thing here is some of Lazarte's fans went overboard and did some barbaric acts.They treated Casimero's entourage badly.I mean its just a game, they should accept defeat and not take things on their own hands.I pity Casimero's entourage because they have to face all those flying chairs,plastic water bottles and those sucker punches by fans that went crazy over their idol's defeat :( It's a shame for the Argentinians and their government as well.It only show that Argentinians are ill-mannered honestly i was angered by the incident.I remember my uncle said that whenever he saw argentinian here he would throw a punch on the argentininan's face because of anger of what they did on our fellow Filipino =)) =)).But the good thing is that he won and it shows the capability of Filipino boxers and athletes.I just wish that our government would make some additional benefits for our athletes just like what happened in Argentina whenever they would make go places to fight I think the entourage should have their own doctor and a nurse and some bodyguards too :-s for the entourage's safety , just like what Manny Pacquiao had whenever he has a fight.That was just a suggestion though to keep our athletes safe whenever they go places and participate in a tournament or something ;))

I have heard f this news a long time ago but still could not get over it, that was very dangerous. I hope they can accept defeat, r else, no Filipino should go fight with Argentina anymre.

I saw this on the news. And it was said that the people could not accept being defeated in the fight. Hope that in this kind of game, people are ready to accept it whether their boxer will win or not. If they feel they have been robbed, they should question the judges and not Casimero.

If the fight was won fairly then I think that a show of immaturity in the part of Argentinians. It is the high time the sponsors and organizers start putting some stop on this menance before it gets out of control.

Whether its true or not that Casimero fought dirtily which they accused of, those action should not be done, it just show lack of respect and i'ts unprofessional. We must always control ourselves in any situation we are. We can protest but not to the extent that we must hurt somebody in order to be satisfied with ourselves.

What is wrong with them? They do not know how to accept defeat, they should not watch a boxing match if they are not man enough to accept losing.
