Argentine promoter guarantees Julaton security
March 5, 2012
Rivero was remorseful in explaining how the riot in the Casimero fight started. “It was unfortunate,” he said. “The whole world saw it (in the Internet and on TV). It was a dark night for boxing, not only for my country but for the world. We provided all the security measures required for the event – police to cover the capacity of the stadium, firemen, paramedics. I assure you the police acted courageously under the circumstances – one policeman suffered a fracture in his arm and another had wounds in his head. The people from the Truckers Union, the sponsor of the fight, protected the Filipinos and the referee. One of them, Gonzalo Basile, a popular Argentine heavyweight boxer, was in the ring trying to defend the visitors. Everyone in my organization, including my son Sebastian and myself, were with the Filipinos in the dressing room and later in the hotel, providing whatever assistance we could give. Those who can attest to what we did are WBO supervisor Anibal Miramontes, Sammy Gello-ani and Sean Gibbons.”
