I'm sure this is going to be an uphill battle for Casimero. Zolani Tete is doubtless the favorite here. Even the stats are clearly showing this. Zolani has the height. He has the reach as well. Casimero needs to get inside and get on the body of this South African Filipino killer, before knocking him down unconscious. Casimero has to win whatever happens. This Tete has already defeated many Filipinos in his past fights, the last one was the ALA "King", Arthur Villanueva.
The talent level of those Filipino fighters whom Tete deafeated is way lower than that of Casimero, Villanueva is the only one who is legit enough to challenge Tete maybe because he was once under the prominent ALA stable of Cebu. Casimero, though underdog in the bookies but is clearly a threat to Tete's belt as he pack a punch and can knock-out opponent with just one punch.
off topic a bit bai
,
The only ALA boxer whom i admire the most is Z Gorres, who almost defeated Fernando Montiel here in Cebu, unfortunately he run out of gas in the championship rounds. That's the trade mark of ALA fighters, they run out of gas in the latter rounds
.
Villanueva gave a good fight against Tete. But Tete proved to be the better fighter in the end. He was obviously more athletic than Villanueva. Tete is good in keeping the fight within a distance in which he is very comfortable.
There were more than a handful of good ALA fighters but like you said many of them seem to lack the gas in the long run. I would even say most of them seem to lack the will to fight until their last breath. Once an ALA boxer tastes defeat, he seems to like it. Perhaps they are so used to fighting against feeder opponents that when faced with an equally good opponent, they feel inferior and weak. Gorres, Bautista, Banal, Suico, Milendo, and many more had the talent. But they only reached a limited level of success.
, that's why i think the fight has not started yet lol.
