Manila spars with Argentina over riot

THE Philippines has filed a diplomatic protest against Argentina after fighting broke out just before Filipino boxer Johnreil Casimero was declared the winner of the IBF junior flyweight title.

Casimero knocked out Argentina's Luis "Mosquito" Lazarte in the 10th round of the title fight. Lazarte's supporters then rushed to the ring and attacked Casimero and his staff. Bottles and chairs were hurled into the ring and punches were thrown before police intervened.
