Salmin Kassim W12 Adrian Lerasan ... Tanzanian super bantamweight Salmin Kassim showed his huge potential on Thursday, December 26th at the Super Dome Arena in Dar Es Salaam. The undefeated 21-year old passed his biggest test to date as he defeated Adrian “Wild Beast” Lerasan of the Philippines by unanimous decision. In a non-stop action fight, Kassim showed power in both hands against a game and competent opponent in Lerasan (age 25), who had his moments and gave the younger man plenty to think about throughout the contest. Many rounds were close, so the 117-111 scores from judges Anthony Ruta, Emmanuel Mlundwa and Pembe Ndava didn't paint a clear picture of the competitiveness of the bout. Kassim is now 7-0-2, having won six straight since drawing twice in his first three outings. Lerasan drops to 14-8.
