Zolani Tete (28-3, 21KOs) makes the fourth defence of his WBO World Bantamweight title against John Riel Casimero after his promoter Frank Warren won the purse bids.
 
It will be Tete’s first fight since October 2018 when he defeated Russia’s Mikhail Aloyan in the World Boxing Super Series. Unfortunately injury then ruled him out of the tournament.

“I have fully recovered from the shoulder injury and I will be testing it on Casimero's chin. I am back,” warned the South African.
 
Filipino Casimero (28-4,19KOs) stopped Charlie Edwards in a IBF Flyweight title defence here in 2016 and is brimming after capturing the Interim WBO crown.

I'm sure majority of Filipino fans knows who Casimero is, the fighter who beat Argentinian Lazarte in 2012 in Argentina and soon after that riot occured inside the ring and thankfully Casimero and his team was also get out out alive hiding under the the boxing arena itself. One of the worst riots you will ever see in boxing, resulting in Lazarte and his team banned by IBF after that incident.

Casimero is a good fighter but if we base these two boxers, Tete has a slight edge in terms of power. I like casimero to win this one though.

Casimero may face the hardest fight of His career from this south african boxer,from Record and the reached i think the Filipino boxer don't have the advantage on this one i hope in any chance Casimero will find ways to beat this Tete
but even if what happens my Bet of course for my fellow Coutryman .
my Prayers and wishes may be with Him

[Jating]

Yes, I still remember that melee in Argentina soil, Lazarte even threaten the referee if I'm not mistaken.

Do we have the odds though? For me it looks like 50/50, Tete is good boxer no doubt about that, but Casimero is one hell of a fighter as well. And it's very interesting that Frank Warren won the purse bid, lot of hype around Casimero before, specially it was around that time the Filipino has lots of belts in different weight divisions, but I don't know what happen to his career. So I hope this will be his another road for him to be in the boxing discussion again.

This is a good match up definitely worth watching, it's about even in terms of power and experience, but Casimero has a slight edge because Tete is coming from a very long lay off and injury, While Casimero is very active coming up from a knockout win, I'll go for Casimero because of the ege I've mentioned.

[YuginKadoya]

This fight will be on November 30 I think there is much time for the two of them to prepare for their fight and even if Zolani Tete had his Injury maybe it will hardly heal eventually before their game, I really want to support my fellow men but looking at Tete's Stats he's got a good records with his KO's a good reach and height, but even though there are some advantage on Zolani Tete, in my opinion, I think both have the same striking power so I'll take my luck betting on John Riel Casimero on this.

[fortunecrypto]

This is a match worth watching Tete is coming our of injury and long lay off, but he is a natural bantam and Casimero is putting more weight for this fight, Tete is a hard puncher I have just watched some of his knock out victory and he is a very dominating fighter, both fighters are slugger, definitely this is going to be a slug fest, it's an even match, the winner will be the one who's more prepared.

Zolani Tete will be the favorite when he will enter the ring on 30th November in Birmingham. He will defend his title however in his last fight he had an shoulder injury which he say has been fully recovered. It will be hard for the Casimero  to match him if he, tete, is in his full form.

I agree Tete has an edge over him in terms of power and reach. The age gap between the two is one year. There is also a good height difference between both. Tete is 31 and 5"9 whereas Casimero is 32 and 5"4. None the less it will be an  interesting fight.

This is a match worth watching Tete is coming our of injury and long lay off, but he is a natural bantam and Casimero is putting more weight for this fight, Tete is a hard puncher I have just watched some of his knock out victory and he is a very dominating fighter, both fighters are slugger, definitely this is going to be a slug fest, it's an even match, the winner will be the one who's more prepared.

Ok, just what I thought, so he is coming back from a injury and most fighters will have what they call ring ring. One example is Keith Thurman when he fought Josesito Lopez and he didn't look very good at that fight, although he won it. Casimero is also a hard puncher so I would agree that this is going to be a bang, as both fighters are very aggressive. One advantage of Tete is his height and reach so let's see how Casimero will neutralized that. Of course, the winner will be the fighter that prepared very hard and this fight and the fighter who has more heart and desire to wn.

[Finestream]

This will be Casimero's chance to prove that he is a legit champion.
If he can win this fight, maybe we can see him fight good fighters in the US.

Tete is suppose to be fighting against Donaire in a tournament but he was injured, now he will again be facing a filipino boxer as he recovered from injury.
This is surely a great fight, whoever wins actually but I'll give my support to the Filipino boxer here.

[Botnake]

I watched some of his highlights of Casimero  and this guy is a bad boy in boxing.
Tete on the other hand is also a great fighter so them fighting against each other will surely bring a quality fight comes the fight now.

Casimero is the challenger so I'll pick the challenger as it has a better betting odds.
Was checking in my book and it's not yet available.

I have watched that fight in Argentina in Youtube and man, they are lucky to get out alive on that venue.

Casimero is one of those boxers that i follow, he got that power but seems that this boxer lack the discipline a boxer should have. He is a member of Omega boxing club in Cebu and got to watched his fight live in Cebu, entertaining though his talent seems raw until this point in time of his career.

I don't expect too much from him on this fight as Tete is a legit champion.

[GreatArkansas]

 
Professional boxing records update for these both great boxer;
Zolani Tete has 1 LOST advantage since John Riel Casimero has already 4 lost while Zolani Tete has 3 lost.
Zolani Tete has also the advantage on height and reach against John Riel Casimero. Well, this fight is still exciting since they are both has the experienced (almost the same quantity of total fights).

[TravelMug]

Looking at John Riel Casimiro's last fight against Ramirez, it mights that he his punch can sting Tete. But one noticeable though is that Casimero lacks stamina. So if this fight goes to distance, I think he can be KO by Tete in the latter rounds.

So it's going to be very interesting in the first half of this fight, it will be very competitive in the beginning, but Casimero might fade in the latter specially in the championships round.

On the other hand, this will be Tete's fight coming back from a shoulder injury, so we don't know if he is the same prior to the injury and there could be ring rust as well.

after his promoter Frank Warren won the purse bids.

Anyone kind enough to explain what this purse bids is all about?

[aioc]

I consider this to be Casimero's toughest bout to date, this Tete has a wicked punch, have checked some of his knocks out victories and some of them are coming from one punch, but we all know Casimero, he has been into so many tough fights, but that long lay off will have an impact to Tete, just like what happen to Thurman, I will not going to miss this fight.

He is coming from injury so we might not see the old tete in this fight.
Regardless, I would still put my money on Casimero knowing that he can fight, have some knock out power, so this will be a tough fight for tete for sure.
Remember than Tete is the champion here, if casimero will loss, it's alright, but if he will win, the Philippines will rejoice with him.

Long lay off and coming from injury will have an impact on Tete's performance, but it will be as the fight progresses not on the ealy rounds of the fights, Casimero should see this and should take time but we all know Casimero, is a fighter who knows how to pace himself, very evident in some of his fights, this fight could go either way in terms of performance and power I don't think one fighter has an edge over the other.

Exactly, Casimero is no stranger to big fights, this guy is a warrior. He always wanted to fight against a hostile crowd, and take the belt away from the champion. So this crowd maybe pro-Tete, but I think Casimero is battle tested already so he could get some rounds in the beginning and maybe if he can weaken Tete thru body shots, which John riel loves to throw against a taller opponent, maybe we can see him win some on judges scorecard and pull another boxing upset. But I wouldn't be surprised if he can KO Tete here as he also have a solid punch in both hands.
