                    [Summary] => He’s not getting any younger. And Tiger Ari, 34, is running out of time. The two-time Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation (OPBF) superfeatherweight champion is also running out of opposition in this part of the world.


So it was no surprise when Ari – whose real name is Eder Olivetti – relinquished his OPBF crown to fight Cassius Ponani Baloyi for the vacant International Boxing Organization (IBO) 130-pound title at the Carnival City Arena in Drakpan, South Africa, on April 17.

After all, Laurente was coming off back-to-back losses in Indonesia and Thailand. He’d never won overseas – which was probably why Otsuka’s handlers thought he was the perfect fall-guy.

Like vintage wine, he gets better with age. His secret? No vices.

Ari takes his career seriously. He’s dedicated. His focus is unflinching. When he’s inside the ring, Ari is a picture of confidence because he’s always well-trained. He’s got all the tools – he packs a mean wallop, he has a vast repertoire of punches, he’s smart, he’s tough to hit, and he’s durable.

Sa unang round, maraming suntok ang tumama kay Tamaki kaya’t bumagsak ito at sa ikatlong round ay tuluyan na itong humalik sa canvass.

Gayunpaman, nakayanan ni Tamaki na manatiling nakatayo at tapusin ang 12-rounder kontra sa Pinoy.
