00:00 One king will be crowned this afternoon on a Saturday slugfest brought to you by Treasure
00:25 Boxing Promotions in cooperation with Johnny and Lorde Boxing.
00:29 They are fighting for the WBO Junior Betterweight Global Championship.
00:33 John Real, Cuadro, El Azkacemero versus Philippus Energy, N'Tumbwa, the defending champion.
00:39 My name is James Velasquez together with Rachel Dunaire and Donito Dunaire Jr.
00:44 As Casemiro comes out aggressive to open the first round.
00:48 Rachel, it is important to set the tone in a championship fight.
00:56 Yes it is and I think that John Real Casemiro has done that, just that.
01:02 And Donito of course, you were slated to face this man, John Real Casemiro at this weight
01:07 division do you think this is a place where he can be more comfortable, stronger?
01:13 He is actually, he looks strong, he looks very strong and at the same time he doesn't
01:17 have to cut the weight that he had problems with in the abandoned weight.
01:22 And the defending champion, Philippus Energy, N'Tumbwa, that's a key term that we have to
01:27 put out here.
01:28 Energy, yes you're the defending champion but you are fighting on your opponent's home
01:33 soil.
01:37 John Real is allowing himself, Philippus N'Tumbwa to feel his power early in this fight and
01:44 that is a very important aspect for his fighting style.
01:48 N'Tumbwa undefeated since his professional debut, a unanimous decision loss.
01:56 But Casemiro looking to make a statement early, goes to the body that time.
02:04 I think an overhand and a body would be good for Casemiro to land against N'Tumbwa.
02:13 N'Tumbwa with the high guard coming in but opens up when he punches.
02:21 Chin is up in the air, John Real can time it.
02:26 Coming up on a minute remaining in the opening round.
02:31 All fighters look at the trade, early and often.
02:35 And we don't see this usually where Casemiro is stepping back.
02:40 N'Tumbwa is here to fight.
02:44 Let's remember that Philippus also does have that ability to switch.
02:49 So let's see if he does change that in the second round.
02:52 Great point.
02:54 He slaps with those overhand but I think it's the accumulation of punches that he does damage
02:59 people or his fighter opponents.
03:01 He's trying to protect himself with that shoulder.
03:08 I think John Real is looking for a big shot to land against N'Tumbwa.
03:14 N'Tumbwa trying to unload with that right hand.
03:22 Staying active with the jab as well.
03:27 Casemiro trying to go to the body but met with that left hook counter by N'Tumbwa.
03:31 And that ends a feel it out first round.
03:37 And it's championship time over here at the paddock.
03:41 - Absolutely no Facebook live or recording this live.
03:45 We are monitoring anybody who is showing this live on their cell phone.

04:20 - Welcome back to the Ocada Manila Grand Ballroom as we take a look at some of the highlights
04:24 in the opening round.
04:25 Nonito, walk us through what you saw.
04:27 - Well, in the beginning, Casemiro was trying to impose his power, but Netumbwa came in
04:33 actually with a lot of great defense to nullify a lot of the power that John Rael let out.
04:43 - Felipe's trying to establish that jab, keep John Rael away.
04:50 - And I think John Rael, Casemiro is looking for good timing to catch Netumbwa, knowing
04:56 that his chin is up there when he does attack.
05:00 - Champion though, yes, keeping that distance, but looking to be willing to trade if it came
05:07 to it.
05:08 As Casemiro lands one up top.
05:14 Wild punches now coming from Casemiro.
05:17 - Casemiro trying to land a left also.
05:19 - And Netumbwa's coming back every single time that Casemiro throws those big shots.
05:24 Gotta watch out, Nonito, for that left hook counter that Netumbwa is throwing every time
05:29 Casemiro's opening up.
05:30 - And I think that Netumbwa is looking for that overhand from Casemiro, and that's why
05:35 he has a high guard going into this fight to protect himself.
05:40 But again, when he does go into offense, it's when he is vulnerable for those big shots.
05:50 - So far Netumbwa the one pushing forward.
05:54 Oh, big shot again by Netumbwa.
05:59 - And again, this is something that you don't see with Casemiro.
06:01 Casemiro usually is the one pressing forward in all the fights that we've seen him, majority
06:06 of it.
06:07 - Casemiro, look at the chop him down, has been going with that left hook to the body
06:14 on multiple occasions already.
06:16 And I think that's what they need to do is to break him down to the body to open up the
06:21 top.
06:25 - As you know, I always love the investment into the body early on.
06:29 - And with Pelipo's Netumbwa jabbing and pressing forward, because the thing about pressure
06:34 fighters like Casemiro who likes to throw wide shots is to smother those punches, and
06:41 he's doing the right thing by pressing forward with the high guard to smother the big shot
06:45 from Casemiro.
06:48 - Under a minute remaining in the second round.
06:54 Netumbwa, Renito, has done a great job staying in front of John Riel, despite John Riel trying
07:04 to dance away, step away, and that prevents him from creating like awkward angles.
07:10 - That's correct, because he feels that inside he has the advantage because of John Riel's
07:16 way of punching, which is a wide shot coming from John Riel, which again, you can smother
07:23 to lessen the impact.
07:26 - Netumbwa looking to fire away after hearing the 10 second warning.
07:31 Casemiro again to the body.
07:34 Let's see if that pays off towards the later rounds.
07:37 Back in a moment.
07:39 Just a reminder, once again, no showing of the fight on your cell phone, on social media,
07:45 live.
07:46 It is absolutely prohibited.
07:49 We are monitoring those who are showing it, and you will be asked to leave immediately.
07:54 Thank you.
07:55 - Thank you.
07:55 - Thank you.
08:15 - Back inside the Ocada Manila Grand Ballroom, and this is for the WBO Junior Featherweight
08:21 Global Championship.
08:22 Take a look at the highlights.
08:24 - Some observations you've had in the past two rounds.
08:28 - I feel like Netumbwa was doing amazing as far as controlling the ring.
08:33 The thing is, he's trying to set up that chopping right hand.
08:36 It seems to me that it's more of a slap.
08:38 It's very quick, but more of a slap.
08:40 Even his jab is, actually, sorry, his left hook is more of a slapping left hook.
08:47 - What I see is coming into this fight, Casemiro is very confident.
08:53 And whether it's overconfidence or just confidence that he had, because I know he has a tremendous
09:00 amount of power.
09:02 And sometimes when you are confident, you tend to look past an opponent.
09:08 And with Netumbwa, Netumbwa is coming in there with great certainty, and he's pressing forward
09:13 with great defense, and smothering Jan Rios Casemiro's punches.
09:21 - Jan Rios bobbing, weaving, looking for an opening.
09:25 Again, ducks under and goes to the body.
09:31 - Great shot by Casemiro.
09:32 - Nice shot.
09:33 There you go.
09:34 I believe that's what Jan Rios was looking for.
09:35 - And that body shot.
09:36 - Crowd coming to life.
09:37 Oh, Netumbwa answers.
09:38 - And he's got a good shot.
09:39 - And he's got a good shot.
09:40 - And he's got a good shot.
09:41 - And he's got a good shot.
09:42 - And he's got a good shot.
09:43 - And he's got a good shot.
09:44 - And he's got a good shot.
09:45 - And he's got a good shot.
09:46 - And he's got a good shot.
09:47 - And he's got a good shot.
09:48 - And he's got a good shot.
09:49 - And Netumbwa answers.
09:56 That's smart by Casemiro not getting too trigger happy.
09:59 Oh, but Netumbwa connects.
10:03 - And Netumbwa is just pressing and pressing and it can be very tiring when you get fighters
10:08 like that.
10:09 And I think it's a similar fashion that another African fighter that fought John Uriel was
10:16 to press with a heavy high guard.
10:21 - Netumbwa again pressing the action, moving forward.
10:31 But that combination by Casemiro rocked the champion in this round.
10:38 - And the thing about throwing a lot of punches is they tire you out a lot.
10:41 And I think this is why Netumbwa is just on a high guard hoping to tire Casemiro down
10:49 a little bit.
10:50 - But with that high guard he is exposing himself to those body shots that Casemiro
10:53 has been using.
10:54 - And I think that Casemiro should be using those body shots to open up the head like
10:59 I mentioned earlier.
11:03 - Under 30 seconds remaining in the third round.
11:05 Bouts scheduled for 12.
11:08 - Big body shot by Casemiro and I think that's what he should focus more a lot.
11:12 And of course Netumbwa should be focusing on the jab and pressing forward like he has.
11:17 But of course with Casemiro's style and punches it's a dangerous territory.
11:29 - Almost a simultaneous exchange.
11:31 Another action packed affair and we'll be back for more.

12:41 - Again round number four.
12:43 Bouts scheduled for 12.
12:45 - Good push jab to set up the straight.
12:48 - I think like Rachel said, investing in that body shot is gonna be a big help for Casemiro.
12:56 [WHISTLE]
12:58 [WHISTLE]
13:00 - But John Reel.
13:02 - He's ranging him, he's finding that distance so he can throw and unload that right overhand.
13:08 [WHISTLE]
13:10 - Oh look at...
13:12 - Yes, Ntumwa is having a little bit of fun with the crowd and more concerned with the crowd.
13:16 - I think Casemiro is doing a really good job by setting up with that jab.
13:21 - Everything that he has power, rather than just keep throwing it without setting up.
13:27 - And right now he's throwing that jab, using that jab, stiff-arming with the jab and throwing an overhand or setting up the power shots.
13:34 - Good push.
13:36 - I thought I saw, it looked like he was trying to kiss him in there.
13:41 - Might have...
13:43 - We would have to see that on the replay. - You never know.
13:47 - Coming up on a minute and a half remaining in round number four, Casemiro looking to take more control in round number four.
13:57 - And I think he's controlling this round a bit more with setting up the jab and not allowing Ntumwa to press forward.
14:07 - I was actually going to say I would love to see an uppercut right between the guard.
14:13 - Right.
14:15 - Oh, got tagged there by that left jab.
14:18 - Already... - Jab by Ntumwa and a little straight in there.
14:34 - The champion staying active.
14:37 - Oh, good jab by Casemiro as Ntumwa was stepping in.
14:45 - And Casemiro is doing a great jab, oh setting up again with a jab and an overhand to land on Ntumwa.
14:53 - But he's fighting smart at this moment.
14:56 - Oh, nice left hook by Ntumwa.
15:00 - Good body shot.
15:02 - There's that body shot.
15:09 - Ntumwa still trying to do that chopping right.
15:17 - I think this is a really good look for Casemiro setting up the jab and throwing an overhand and a body along with it as well.
15:26 - Let's see if those investment shots make those hands drop.
15:30 - Round number four in the books, we'll be back for more.
15:35 [MUSIC]

15:43 [MUSIC]
16:11 [MUSIC]
16:14 - Ladies and gentlemen, that was round number four in this championship bout between John Riel Casemiro of the Philippines and Philippus Ntumwa, defending champion from Namibia.
16:22 - Nonito, walk us through again what you saw in that previous round.
16:26 - Well, the body shot was definitely something that he invested on in that round.
16:30 - And the jab, well not just throwing big shots, but he was actually setting up his big shot behind the jab.
16:42 - Thank you so much for joining us again. My name is James Velasquez. I'm third wheeling actually with Nonito and Rachel Donaere.
16:49 - But always a pleasure to see you guys. Obviously, Rachel, now that we're towards the middle rounds,
16:56 - Are you hoping to see the results of those investment shots that you've seen from Casemiro?
17:03 - Yes, I definitely am. And the thing is that Ntumwa, you know, he is trying to keep him at a distance,
17:09 but John Riel Casemiro is doing a good job of circling around the ring, bobbing and weaving.
17:15 - And using those jabs behind to throw those big shots. Again, body shots, investing in those body shots.
17:22 - Casemiro, sort of a wait and bait.
17:29 - Again, body, body, you could hear it from a mile away.
17:38 Those shots you can hear from Rojas Boulevard.
17:41 - One thing that Casemiro does have is a heavy hand.
17:46 - Another one. This time going up top with a left hook.
17:53 - Ntumwa just trying to throw. Anything out there?
18:06 - Oh! Left shot! - Hit John Riel Casemiro with the right hand.
18:10 - He's been trying to land that. See, this is the same one that he was doing earlier,
18:15 but the other one, John Riel was able to slip.
18:18 - I think that Casemiro needs to go back into the jab or even just putting that jab out there in front of Ntumwa's face.
18:29 - You gotta give it to Ntumwa. He's taking these shots pretty well.
18:35 - I'm just gonna point that out, yeah.
18:36 - 100%. You gotta give it up to him. Those shots from Casemiro are very devastating,
18:41 and yet Ntumwa is taking them, especially those body shots and the overhands from Casemiro.
18:47 - Oh, one-two. - I heard that one.
18:51 - By Ntumwa, yeah.
18:52 - Look at them trying to trade body shots. - Yes, body for body.
19:03 - Body for body.
19:05 - But notice, Nonito, that every time Casemiro lands to the head, to the body,
19:15 you see the defending champion answer back with a one-two or a one-two-three.
19:19 - Oh, nice shot! - Nice shot, yeah.
19:23 - Overhand. That's exactly what Casemiro has been waiting for.
19:27 - Oh! Casemiro!
19:31 - Oh, he's saved by the bell in this one.
19:34 - What an explosive end to round number five.
19:38 - Saved by the bell, and will be able to recover for one minute.
19:42 Let's see if that affects him in the next round.
19:44 - Oh, he's saved by the bell in this one.
19:46 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:20 [WHISTLE BLOWING]
20:22 - Round number six about to start from inside the Ocada Manila Grand Ballroom
20:26 and John Riel Casemiro.
20:28 Rachel, what a finish to the previous round.
20:30 - Yes, and you know, it's sometimes disheartening for a fighter
20:34 when you put in all that work in that round,
20:36 and they get away with the--
20:38 - Oh!
20:39 - Oh!
20:40 - Oh!
20:41 - He went out!
20:42 - Ntumwa is down on the mat. - Ntumwa down!
20:45 - Getting counted, his legs are wobbling.
20:48 - Is he going to come towards the ref?
20:52 - And the defending champion has been knocked down.
20:55 Casemiro-- - They're allowing it to go.
20:58 - Casemiro going in for the kill.
21:00 - Casemiro going for the kill.
21:02 - He's trying to get the distance to be able to hit him.
21:05 - Ntumwa was out. - Ntumwa covering up.
21:09 Trying to hit him with that--
21:11 He's trying to save right now by holding John Riel Casemiro.
21:15 - He's wobbly.
21:16 He's wobbly, Donito.
21:17 - He's just one punch away.
21:19 Just one punch away.
21:20 I think Anabruka will do this one.
21:22 - John Riel just needs to get that distance
21:24 to be able to fire his shot.
21:26 - Oh, look at him.
21:27 Look at him, almost out on his feet.
21:29 Almost out on his feet.
21:31 - He's reaching in to try to clinch John Riel from hitting him.
21:36 He tries to get a left hook in,
21:38 and the barrage of punches that John Riel is throwing.
21:42 - The champion just swinging for dear life.
21:45 - His right leg is out.
21:47 It's barely bending.
21:48 - He is just a punch away, and he has no more power.
21:51 - We still have half of the round left.
21:54 - He has no legs.
21:57 He's barely keeping himself up.
21:59 - But how can Casemiro capitalize, Donito?
22:02 - Again, just using that jab, push him off with it,
22:05 and then going through in between those shots
22:07 or in between those hands.
22:09 - Use feints, get him to react,
22:13 and then wherever that opening is, take it.
22:17 - Another big shot.
22:18 - Oh, and now somebody's about to go down again.
22:21 - But I think the champ is sort of recovering.
22:23 - Oh, that was a good body shot.
22:25 - Casemiro has to capitalize here.
22:27 A minute remaining.
22:29 Let's go, John Riel.
22:30 His corner is yelling.
22:32 The defending champion looking to stay on his feet.
22:36 - His legs are locking out, though.
22:39 His balance is off.
22:40 He's trying to survive.
22:41 The last 50 seconds of round 6.
22:45 - Give it to the defending champion,
22:47 the toughness to stay on his feet.
22:52 - Good shot, and I think those body shots,
22:54 he needs to work more on those shots.
22:56 And then coming in underneath,
22:57 in the middle of Ntumbo's hands.
23:01 - But, Donito, of course,
23:02 you don't want to punch yourself out.
23:05 You don't want to gas out.
23:07 - Of course.
23:08 - Ntumbo with a one-two,
23:10 trying to keep him away with a jab.
23:12 20 seconds left in round 6.
23:16 - He's probably going to survive this.
23:19 - Unbelievable.
23:20 That's a lot of heart coming from Ntumbo
23:22 after getting hit by a big shot
23:25 that Casemiro threw.
23:29 - Oh, Casemiro can't be careless.
23:32 He is saved by the bell.
23:34 - Wow.
23:35 - Give it to the champion.
23:36 What toughness, what grit,
23:38 what heart will be back for more?
23:41 [music]
24:01 - All right, Donito, walk us through the sequence.
24:06 - I think going into this,
24:08 Ntumbo was very confident in beginning the round.
24:13 Then he got hit with that left hook,
24:14 and he went out, and he was very hurt.
24:20 - Unfortunately for Cuadro Alastor,
24:23 he wasn't able to capitalize and finish the job.
24:26 - I was surprised Ntumbo got up.
24:30 - I don't think anyone thought
24:31 he was going to get up from that.
24:35 - Here we go, round number 7.
24:37 - All right, did he get his legs back underneath him?
24:40 Filipe in the last round had very wobbly legs.
24:44 Couldn't establish his balance.
24:47 - Now Ntumbo's throwing jab,
24:50 trying to think that he is okay,
24:52 because I know for sure when you get hit,
24:55 it doesn't recover that fast.
24:57 - I was just about to ask you that.
24:59 How long or how short is a recovery time
25:02 when you get hit by a bomb like that?
25:05 - Especially coming from Casemiro with the heavy hand,
25:08 I was surprised he was able to get up,
25:09 and I know that will last him until tomorrow,
25:12 or even the whole week.
25:15 - But Casemiro though, getting tagged,
25:17 can't be careless again.
25:18 I saw him taking deep breaths, Rachel, in his corner.
25:22 - Well, sometimes you get so over-excited
25:26 that you're throwing so much power,
25:27 and I think that's what he was trying to do,
25:29 because it was only a punch away
25:31 from the previous rounds.
25:33 - He put in a lot of work last round.
25:36 - That's a battle trying to measure him.
25:44 - And Ntumbo throwing that long-range jab,
25:46 trying to get the distance this time around.
25:50 - Also trying to keep John Riel Casemiro away from him.
25:54 - John Riel needs to cut the distance again
25:57 and be able to be on the inside
25:58 so he would be able to land more of his punches.
26:01 His distance, not Ntumbo's.
26:02 - He still don't have his legs.
26:03 If you notice how he's hopping,
26:05 he still doesn't have his legs.
26:08 - I actually believe that if John Riel
26:11 moves around the ring more, utilizes the ring more,
26:14 it will be extremely hard for Ntumbo to follow him
26:17 at this point.
26:18 His legs do not look right.
26:20 - You're absolutely correct,
26:21 and that lateral movement would be the key
26:24 in shifting away.
26:25 - Did that body shot just hurt him?
26:27 - I mean, the last one, when he was hurt,
26:29 he got hit with a good body shot.
26:32 And I wouldn't be surprised
26:33 if he's hurt with that body shot.
26:35 - Although that left jab connecting
26:37 for the defending champion, Ntumbo,
26:40 now looking to load up that overhand right again.
26:44 - Definitely Ntumbo is here to fight.
26:47 - Oh, clean shot.
26:50 - John Riel Casamiro has to be careful
26:53 in those exchanges.
26:54 You don't want to be at the tail end of his jab.
26:56 You know that if you're at the tail end of the jab,
26:58 you're going to be right there for his second hand.
27:01 - Absolutely.
27:03 - Under 30 seconds remaining, round number seven.
27:08 - Who would have known he would survive that shot?
27:12 Here we are, ending another round.
27:13 But at any moment, then John Riel can land
27:16 another shot like that that can totally end the fight.
27:19 - Big swing and a miss there for Casamiro.
27:22 10-second warning, round number seven.
27:24 Casamiro, looking to push towards the ropes.
27:29 - Nonito apparently called it.
27:32 [bell rings]
27:35 [applause]
27:38 - About what?
27:40 - Huh?
27:41 - About what?
27:42 - And I need to do what I feel like doing.
27:46 So let me go and just listen.
27:49 All you people look at me like I'm a little girl.
27:53 Well, did you ever think it'd be okay for me
27:55 to step into this world?
27:58 [music]
28:09 - Highlights in round number seven.
28:11 Again, a world championship bout between
28:13 John Riel Casamiro challenging for the
28:17 WBO Junior Federalweight Global Championship
28:19 held by Philippus "Energy" Ngetombwa.
28:22 [whistle blows]
28:25 - Already saw one knockdown in this fight already.
28:30 - A devastating one at that.
28:34 - Now, two rounds after that knockdown.
28:36 Is that enough time, Nonito, for the defending champ to recover?
28:40 - I mean, he's recovering really well because
28:42 he's trained for this, but at any moment,
28:45 he can go down and he won't get up
28:48 if he gets hit with those shots again.
28:50 - Nice combination by John Riel.
28:53 Nice body shot again.
28:55 - Now, Rachel, you see him setting up those power shots.
28:58 - Exactly, and that's what we needed him to do.
29:01 You can't just throw it at--just whenever
29:04 without there actually being a target to hit.
29:07 You waste energy like that. You get tired.
29:10 - And that's something that you do get excited over,
29:16 especially if you have power behind it.
29:18 You just forget to set up at times,
29:21 especially hurting Nitungbo the way he did early on.
29:26 - Granted the toughness, though, in the heart
29:29 of Filipus Nitungbo,
29:32 staying on his feet, surviving,
29:34 and looking to thrive in round number eight.
29:38 - John Riel looking for setting his big shot again,
29:49 and Nitungbo now is coming back and being confident.
29:54 - Oh! Nice shot there.
29:57 You can see also, Rachel, Casemiro is rolling
30:07 those punches. - Yes.
30:09 Exactly, so every single time that Nitungbo
30:12 throws the right hand, you see Casemiro roll with it
30:16 and then rotate out of that situation.
30:20 So it's harder for Nitungbo to follow through
30:23 if he misses the overhand right.
30:27 - Donito, those details,
30:29 those are the things that I love about this sport.
30:33 - It's a science, you know, and a lot of things,
30:36 again, going back into it, setting up the punches
30:39 like John Riel just did.
30:41 He threw a jab before anything,
30:43 not just throwing those big bolo shots that he's done,
30:47 but there is a technique to a lot of things in boxing.
30:51 - Nitungbo getting warned for a back of the head.
30:54 - Heavy shots. - And there Riel going.
31:00 Nitungbo.
31:05 - Oh, nice shot by John Riel.
31:11 - Oh, good straight by Nitungbo.
31:14 - They were both throwing a straight, well, both rights,
31:17 straight from Nitungbo, an overhand for John Riel that missed.
31:21 - 10-second warning, Nitungbo connects with that right hand.
31:26 - Jab, jab, straight, he's actually doing a great job
31:29 by setting everything up behind his jab.
31:32 - Oh! - Oh, wow, he survives it again.
31:37 Yet again.
31:40 - How lucky can you get? We'll find out when we come back.
31:45 [music]
31:49 - [grunts]
31:51 - I love it.
32:01 - ♪ I'm saying my chick bad, my chick hood ♪
32:04 ♪ My chick do stuff that your chick wish she could ♪
32:07 ♪ My chick bad, badder than yours ♪

32:23 - Entering the deep waters of this championship bout.
32:26 We were talking off the air, Nonito, Rachel,
32:29 how lucky can you get? Towards the end,
32:32 another rocking combination by Casimiro.
32:35 - And he was able to have it just right at the end,
32:38 where now he had one whole minute to recover,
32:41 and he wasn't-- John Riel Casimiro wasn't able
32:44 to follow up on anything. - Oh, John Riel Casimiro
32:47 with the body hook, and that landed the last hook.
32:50 I think Ntumbo is going for broke right now,
32:53 and at the same time, John Riel is trying to go
32:56 for the same thing to stop this fight.
32:59 - Nice body work. - But like you said,
33:02 those bodies suck.
33:05 - Casimiro again disclosing the gap here,
33:08 but cannot be careless.
33:11 - He slips on the QR code.
33:14 [laughter]
33:17 - Filipus, you have to point your camera, not step on it.
33:20 Oh, nice combo.
33:23 - Rushing in, leaving himself open, has to be careful
33:30 in case Casimiro counters.
33:33 Oh, nice shot! But I guess he was
33:36 rolling with it still, talking about Casimiro.
33:39 - This guy has a lot of energy, Ntumbo.
33:42 - Yeah. - Energy Ntumbo.
33:45 - That's why he's called-- - Oh, nice body shot by John Riel.
33:48 - That's a beautiful body shot.
33:51 You can hear it from all the way back here.
33:54 - Yeah.
33:57 - A minute and a half remaining, round number nine.
34:03 - That exact same way
34:06 that John Riel keeps rotating to the left side,
34:09 like I said-- - Oh! - Nice shot by John Riel Casimiro.
34:12 Tied up. - Good counter.
34:15 - We have half of the round again left. Let's see what happens.
34:18 - John Riel catching his breath a little bit.
34:34 - Definitely he needs to play behind that jab like he has
34:37 to set up the big shots.
34:40 Again, being so excited about things,
34:43 it can tire you out.
34:46 Especially every shot that you throw are power shots.
34:51 - Casimiro trying to bait him
34:58 with that head movement. Body shot again.
35:01 - I believe that'll pay off
35:04 in a bit.
35:07 - Luzon and Tumba take a really big deep breath.
35:10 - Yes.
35:13 - When they broke that clinch, yeah? - Yes.
35:16 - The referee breaking up the fight right away
35:23 to keep the action going.
35:26 - Three rounds to go.
35:29 Three rounds to go.
35:32 And again, another furious finish.
35:38 [applause]
35:41 [music]
35:44 (upbeat music)
35:46 (upbeat music)
35:49 (upbeat music)
35:51 (upbeat music)
36:08 (upbeat music)
36:11 - A lot of ruthless aggression in this championship bout
36:24 between John Rios Casemiro and the defending champion
36:27 Phillipus Ngetumbwa.
36:29 - You know, as you noticed in the last round at the end,
36:31 also, Casemiro lands a big shot.
36:38 - He's always towards the end underneath that refer.
36:41 - Exactly, I'd rather see him set up shots earlier
36:46 and of course have that happen.
36:47 We did have that happen when you first
36:48 knocked him down though.
36:50 - Oh, that overhand almost landed.
36:51 That would have been the end of the night.
36:54 - The day, we're still in the afternoon.
36:56 - That's very true, the end of the afternoon.
37:00 - Double left uppercut by Casemiro,
37:03 trying to break through, blitz through that defense.
37:08 (crowd cheering)
37:11 Ngetumbwa pressing forward.
37:14 - He's gonna wanna have John Rios Casemiro on his back foot.
37:19 That's the best bet for Ngetumbwa.
37:21 - Yes, smothering him.
37:22 If you give a general that big distance for his power,
37:27 it's when he can be very devastating.
37:30 But if you smother those punches,
37:33 it can take a lot less shots,
37:37 body shots again.
37:38 And you keep calling that body shots.
37:40 - It's a beautiful body shot.
37:43 - That's your favorite punch though, is the body shot.
37:46 - Well, and you have to, I mean,
37:48 the way that Ngetumbwa is throwing,
37:50 he's throwing his jab,
37:51 he's leaving the left side of his body open.
37:53 Of course, it's gonna be easy for John Rios
37:55 to be able to take advantage of that hole.
37:58 - And I'm pretty sure that's something
38:00 that they focused on during training camp,
38:03 watching film if they have resources to do so,
38:07 to research on their opponent's playing style
38:09 or fighting style.
38:11 - You know, that's interesting that you say that
38:13 because we were trying to find fight tape on him
38:16 and it was actually quite difficult.
38:18 - Yeah, it was very difficult.
38:19 - There might've been like maybe two that we saw
38:21 and most of them were highlights, not full fights.
38:23 - Yeah.
38:24 - Ooh, okay.
38:24 So let's see if that has been something
38:28 that they've observed during the course of the fight.
38:30 A minute coming up in round number 10.
38:34 (crowd cheering)
38:37 Casimiro just taking a break in this round.
38:41 But don't be fooled,
38:44 one shot can end it all for Casimiro.
38:46 - Feel like every time you say that, that's what happens.
38:50 (laughing)
38:53 It's like a foretelling.
38:54 - We can hear Casimiro's corner.
38:59 That's in Visaya saying "Zumbag."
39:04 - Punch.
39:05 - The champion though, remaining active.
39:12 Consistently throwing that jab and following up.
39:16 - Yep, keeping that jab out there.
39:18 He's trying to keep him away,
39:20 trying to keep him at bay.
39:21 And like I said, once he throws that jab
39:23 and he can touch you,
39:24 he knows that that right hand is going to be able to land.
39:28 Or we can assume that if John Real stood there,
39:30 he would be able to land.
39:31 But we do know that John Real
39:33 has been rolling the correct direction.
39:35 - Yes.
39:36 - Nice body shot to end the round.
39:40 - Last two rounds when we come back.
39:42 (upbeat music)
39:46 (upbeat music)
39:48 - Entering the deep waters of this championship bout,
40:15 round number 11.
40:16 Bout scheduled for 12.
40:18 We take a look at the corner
40:20 of the defending champion and the challenger.
40:22 - Both are going to have to dig deep at this point.
40:29 Ntumbwa of course had met the mat once.
40:32 Both have to be careful.
40:37 Ntumbwa has to definitely be careful.
40:40 - Championship rounds.
40:44 11 round.
40:45 - Here we go.
40:48 Oh, Casemiro gets hit as he was trying to rush in.
40:51 - With the left hook, yes.
40:53 - I think Casemiro might just need to put on
41:01 the little break to just slow down a little bit
41:03 and then go all out in his last round.
41:05 - Wow.
41:06 Okay.
41:07 Ntumbwa is having a little bit too much fun in that ring.
41:10 (crowd cheering)
41:13 - Now Casemiro treats that as poking the bear.
41:18 - I was going to ask that.
41:19 Is that, was that a bad idea?
41:21 The thing is like I've always said,
41:25 whenever things like that happen,
41:26 if you lose your focus and you go out of emotion and anger
41:29 more than your game plan, it could work against you.
41:32 But there's other people that when they get mad,
41:36 it starts, it gives them more laser focus.
41:38 - It just depends on the individual for sure.
41:41 - The referee falls off.
41:43 - Were they supposed to start counting the ref?
41:45 - Yeah.
41:46 Had the referee count himself.
41:48 So I think that you're right about that though.
41:51 Like for instance, the Muhammad Ali, George Foreman fight,
41:55 Ali was just pressing mentally into George Foreman
41:59 and George Foreman was pissed off going into the ring.
42:01 And he, you know, people thought he was going to do
42:04 and take Muhammad Ali out, but guess what?
42:07 He tied himself out.
42:08 - Yeah.
42:09 - Tumbo is still trying to keep
42:14 John Riel Casamiro at bay.
42:16 Pushing and pulling around in the ring.
42:20 - You got to give him credit for staying on his feet
42:22 after that knockdown earlier.
42:24 - Surprisingly, I'm still surprised by it.
42:27 - John Riel trying to throw bombs.
42:32 The Tumbo is answering back with small shot to your ear.
42:36 - He's actually turning and punching
42:38 for each counter that he does.
42:40 - The Tumbo is trying to land a shot of his own.
42:46 John Riel does a great job of slipping,
42:48 rolling underneath those punches,
42:51 moving around the ring.
42:52 So then he's not just a sitting target for the Tumbo.
42:55 He's going to make him work for it.
42:56 The Tumbo tries to give some body shots of his own
42:59 to John Riel Casamiro.
43:01 John Riel Casamiro responds back.
43:04 - You know, in 2019, Donito, I covered
43:06 John Riel's fight in Cebu and he looks
43:10 like a better, more disciplined fighter today
43:13 compared to that time I last saw him.
43:15 - He's definitely learned a lot.
43:18 - That QR code is a slippery thing.
43:22 Can someone, I think they're asking for a mop
43:30 or just a towel.
43:31 - Yeah, they're just trying to say, clean this up.
43:34 - Okay, so we're going to judge who cleans it better.
43:36 John Riel Casamiro's side or the Tumbo's side.
43:42 The only problem with those logos that are that big.
43:50 - Oh, another furious exchange.
43:53 Casamiro firing away.
43:57 - Trying to end the round or end the fight.
44:01 (crowd cheering)
44:03 - Wow.
44:04 - We have one more round left.
44:06 (upbeat music)
44:17 (upbeat music)
44:19 (upbeat music)
44:48 - It is one more round between ultimate boxing glory
44:53 and defeat.
44:54 And our two warriors have given us a show.
44:59 Will that knock down and accuracy score the win
45:03 in the championship for John Riel Casamiro
45:06 or will the toughness, activity and heart
45:09 of Philippus Ngitumbwa, the defending champion
45:13 be enough for him to retain his title?
45:18 - But this is it, this is it.
45:19 They're going to go in there and it's going to be like
45:21 the first round for John Riel Casamiro.
45:23 - John Riel Casamiro comes out already swinging.
45:26 Was able to roll under everything
45:33 that Ngitumbwa tried to keep him off.
45:35 - He's trying to corner him now.
45:37 - Ranging him with his left hand
45:40 and then firing off with his right.
45:42 - And Casamiro, it actually looks fresh in this round.
45:46 (crowd cheering)
45:49 - Big shot up top, but he counters.
45:53 - Tries to hit John Riel with a right of his own, misses.
46:00 But he got out of the corner.
46:01 - Again, the heart of this champion, Rachel Indonito.
46:05 - He definitely came into fight, that's for sure.
46:09 - I don't think he was going to come to the Philippines
46:11 to give his belt away.
46:12 So I give him complete, complete respect
46:15 and applause for coming to another country,
46:18 the opponent's country and standing on his feet.
46:21 If you're going to take the belt away from me,
46:23 you're going to have to fight me for it.
46:25 That's what he's made it.
46:26 - The adjustment Rachel Indonito,
46:28 after getting hurt, decided to box from a distance
46:31 because earlier he was trying to trade with Casamiro.
46:34 - That's right.
46:35 You know, with him being in tremendous shape.
46:39 Oh, Casamiro.
46:44 - They're just going at it.
46:46 - There's always that puncher's chance.
46:54 - A hundred percent.
46:55 - Yes.
46:57 And you have to remember that Ntumbo has 11 KOs
47:01 to his 12 wins as well.
47:03 - Warning.
47:09 (crowd cheering)
47:12 - Ntumbo coming in.
47:17 - 50 seconds left.
47:18 Can John Riel do it?
47:21 - The defending champion still looking spry.
47:27 Oh, oh.
47:28 - Was in the back of the head.
47:32 What will the referee say?
47:34 That has been happening throughout the rounds though.
47:39 - This is not something that's new.
47:40 It's more so the fact that it was,
47:43 oh, they gave him a one point deduction
47:45 for back of the head shot.
47:48 - Now will the defending champion go for broke
47:56 knowing that there was a point deduction?
47:58 - And he has a knockdown against him as well.
48:07 - He's upset at the referee.
48:09 - 10 seconds in the final round.
48:17 - Rolls that a slip.
48:23 - We go the distance.
48:28 - The end of the fight.
48:32 We will see if the point deduction,
48:35 in addition to a knockdown,
48:38 gives the decision to John Riel Casemiro when we return.

49:45 - We go the distance in this championship bout
49:52 between John Riel Casemiro and Philippus Mitumbwa.
49:55 - As we wait for the decision,
49:57 I do want to say a big thank you
49:59 to Treasure Boxing Promotions
50:01 in cooperation with Johnny Elordi Boxing
50:03 here at Okada in the beautiful Manila, Philippines.
50:06 It's great to see events come back
50:10 after such a long time with pandemics and everything
50:13 and people coming out and enjoying and supporting the sport
50:16 and of course the fighters that they love.
50:18 - That was a tremendous fight.
50:24 Johnny Riel Casemiro showing his power
50:27 and Mitumbwa showing his grit and his heart.
50:31 - Now, well, the point deduction is Rachel mentioned,
50:36 the point deduction and the knockdown beat enough
50:38 for Casemiro to bring home
50:40 the WBO Junior Federalweight Global Championship.
50:44 - Mitumbwa did a great job of staying with his game plan.
50:52 Their whole team believed that the game plan
50:54 was to stay behind the job
50:55 and follow up with the overhand right.
50:57 Of course, he made mistakes along the way
51:02 and it cost him and John Riel was able to capitalize on it.
51:06 - In addition to the back of the head call,
51:09 the point deduction,
51:10 that's something that he was doing throughout the fight.
51:12 It's not something that landed per se,
51:15 but the way that he throws that punch,
51:17 it wraps around almost
51:19 to end up hitting the opponent's back of the head.
51:22 I think he's stressing, I'm looking at him right now.
51:25 He doesn't look too happy.
51:26 His corner is hugging him and consoling him,
51:31 but we don't know if what the ruling is just yet.
51:35 I feel like Mitumbwa believes
51:37 that it might go to John Riel Casemiro.
51:40 - Well, the thing that we gotta give up to as well,
51:43 give credit to is,
51:46 Casemiro has actually shifted his game plan
51:50 from pressing forward to using the jab
51:53 or setting up his big shot behind the jab.
51:56 - Well, as we wait for the decision,
51:57 we'll have a word from our sponsors back in a moment.
52:00 (upbeat music)
52:04 (upbeat music)
52:07 (bell ringing)
52:11 - Before we go to the scorecards,
52:14 let's put our hands together for two warriors
52:17 giving it all up right here in the ring.
52:22 From the Ocada, Manila here in Paranaque City,
52:26 Metro Manila, Philippines,
52:28 12 rounds of exciting boxing.
52:29 We go to the scorecard
52:32 and we have a unanimous decision.
52:36 Judge Yuji Fukuchi scores the bout 114-112.
52:42 Martino Radona and Edward Ligas
52:45 both see the bout 116-110,
52:49 all for the winner by unanimous decision
52:53 and the new WBO junior bantamweight global champion,
53:00 from Manila, Maurica, Lente, Philippines,
53:04 Jandrell Casimero.
