It's clear that boxing is business and that trainers and assistants cross borders to help an opponent against a countryman.
This is the situation with regard to IBF flyweight champion Amnat Ruenroeng who defends his title in a rematch with former IBF light flyweight champion John Reil Casimero in Beijing, China as a highlight of the IBF Annual Convention.
Aljoe Jaro who helped train Amnat and was in his corner for the first clash with Casimero, told The Standard that his brother Frankie helped train Amnat who requested Aljoe to help wrap his hands and to assist in the corner.
In their first meeting where referee Larry Doggett did a terrible job ignoring many infractions by the Thai champion in a foul-infested bout Aljoe Jaro who helped train the Thai defended the tactics of Amnat saying it was a strategy that ultimately paid off.
However, Casimero and veteran trainer Jhun Agrabio have expressed the hope that there won?t be any hometown decision as was the case in Thailand because the rematch is in Beijing and with top IBF officials present no such favoritism is expected.
Casimero whose only problem at the moment is the fact that he is overweight and has had an eleven month layoff but has trained hard and is dead set on avenging his loss to Amnat in their first encounter.
