Riot in Argentina after hometown fighter loses match

**atomicpoet** · Posted On: 2/11/2012 1:54am

Lazarte-Casimero was one of the dirtiest fights I've ever seen. Both fighters were deducted points. However, Luis Lazarte took it to a whole new level.

He actually bit Casimero on the shoulder. When the ref deducted a point for a different foul, Lazarte said to the ref, "Do you want to leave here without harm?"

The fight ended up being a TKO victory for Casimero. That's when all hell broke loose. The audience began throwing debris and chairs into the ring. It turned into an ugly riot. Here's the video:

On Home Turf and feeling Brave. They've always been very bad losers.

- 1966 World Cup Quarter Final. England 1 Argentina O. Capt Rattin sent off. Quite Right.
- 1967-8 World Club Championship. Both Celtic + Man Utd subjected to shocking assault and rank cheating.
- 1982 South Georgia + Falklands.
- 1977 England visit Argentina in preparation for possible qualification. England are barbarously treated and Trevor Cherry gets his Jaw broken. Deliberately.
- 1978 World Cup. I liked their play. And then I remain the opposing goalkeeper who was born...wait for it...in Argentina, and they needed a lot of goals...which they got (amazing).
- 1990 World Cup Final. Italy v Argentina. Incredible how Maradona and more weren't Sent Off by the Ref, especially when they deliberately ran into him.

**** 'em.

Thanks for posting, though.

...speaking of which, there's a boat on the River Thames, which is basically a pub on the water. It has a formal name but the military all refer to it as 'The Belgrano'.

Yes, that dark military humour at work.

Is that the Tattershall? Had a few lairy funny nights in there.

I see the Argies have names their top football division "The General Belgrano". And they seem to be constantly griping about what we're up to in the South Atlantic. They just can't let it lie.

You are correct, sir.

I was having a lash in the bogs and reading some very funny graffiti and wandering back to the bar to continue the afternoon (sorry, the EVENING) drinking session, and consequently wore a large smile as I started to return to my work colleagues. As I proceeded along the walkway by the Bar, a group of attractive ladies were settling themselves into a seating area, and I glanced at them as I was heading back. One of them immediately spat out the words "Piss Off!" at me. (It must have been the aura of my charm.)

I continued to walk and - as the smile fell from my face - I recounted the graffiti etc, laugh, smile, and unkind lady's comment directed at me. All 4 (including 1 lady in my group) looked at them. At that moment, the group of ladies got up and all left the Belgrano.

It was probably my anti-perspirant :-)

Incredible how you Brits try to keep zhe German Mann down.

The Argies latest chat is hilarious - The British are aggressive colonialists, because they refuse to let Argentina colonise an island against the inhabitants wishes.

Takes a special kind of twisted logic to say that with a straight face.

FTFY.

Funny how everything we do down there is "an act of aggression".

Send a celebrity search and rescue helicopter pilot? Act of aggression!
Take an ageing naval vessel out of service and replace it with it's modern cousin? Act of aggression!!
Grant the islands' residents the right to self-determination under the UN Charter? ACT OF AGGRESSION!!!!!!

Be interesting to see how many of the South American countries will still be siding with the Argies when we start pumping oil and tendering for refinement sites.

Blimey. hah - y Memory at fault here. Sorry, freund. :-) Germany v Argentina....now I remember.

Sidenote, Harry Redknapp was asked if he was interested in the Euros. He said, yes, if they were unmarked and untraceable ;-)

If he does take the vacancy as England manager, will Jurgen Klinsmann return to Spurs as Manager. Srsly, that's one rumour doing the rounds.

Cheers
