[Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight

[NavI_027]

No complains about it though, still another Filipino will have a crack at the monster. And Casimero has all the tools to defeat Inoue here. We might need to wait though, but I'm sure there's going to be a like of fireworks because of Casimero experience and his will to win against the odds.

Whooah! Casimero is the next who will attempt to tarnish Inoue's record huh? That was very interesting . This young gun could be his long awaited time to shine if he beat Inoue which is bot impossible to hapoen to be honest. He is young as Inoue and on its prime compare to Donaire whose skills are slowly fading away. This will be definitely a close match, however, for sure Inoue will got the height and reach advantage as well as the odds since he was the champion. Thus, Casimero should work harder because the only advantage I see in him is his speed bit that's not enough — he must become faster and agile than Inoue.

I really don't think these Bantamweight fighters get enough admiration.

Sure, most of them can't be considered knockout artists, but if you look at the speed and some of the combinations they throw, you can really see quick some of these guys hands are.

I'd love to see a heavyweight that could really move like a lightweight, that would be something special.

Inoue ftw for sure in this bout though, guy is a beast.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Nevertheless these fighters are the next generation of boxing superstars so for sure it's still a long journey for them. But I believe they can be as big as the legends we knew today .

Not only special but of of this world definitely . How on Earth it would be possible?! I mean mass is inversely proportional with speed, as our weight increases the tendency of our speed decreases. Even physique heavyweights I know like AJ is also not as fast as I expected .

Nothing is certain but basing on their current stats and performance then its likely for them to achieve that spot.It will matter on how
they would handle out their future fights.Fate will vary on how they do strive and pursue.

Just basing on Physics, then its not really that possible. A heavyweight with having fast jabs?

Sure Inoue has all the advantage in this fight, but who knows, maybe Casimero can see that one opening and hit Inoue flush in the jaw for a knock-down. That's why this match up is much anticipated and we all wanted to see the fight happen in the US as well so that fight fans can appreciate what this two boxers can bring in the ring.

I watched Ali at his prime (youtube), he is sure is very fast at heavyweight division, or even Mike Tyson as well or Anthony Joshua.

Everybody here is waiting for the announcement this fight is a legacy fight for each other both of them are in the prime of their career, both of them a champion, this is a mega fight in the making and I'm sure it will shake the boxing world just like the last fights of both fighters.

The fight was already announced.

I favor Inoue to win but maybe he made a mistake in coming back to soon an could suffer the same fate as Kell Brook who had the same injury against Golovkin and was re-injured when he fought Spence.

Lol in the first page the fight was already up,this is the problem if the poster only made comment without even reading the first page of the thread

very interesting fight.

i have seen Inoue how he defeats another Filipino boxer (Nonito Donaire)on whos one of the finest Pinoy Boxer but not enough for the power of this Monster from Japan.

but also i have watched couple games of Casimero and i know he can Beat this Opponent,he has the power and speed like Manny Pacquiao when Manny is still in lower weight so i am confident that Philippines will have their Revenge from the past lost.

Yes, I also consider the potential of Inoue, since he defeated Nonito Donaire, nonito himself is a good boxer a well known for being one of the PH's pride but he has been defeated, I am more in the side of Inoue in that fight since the fight is in Unanimous decision, Inoue is undefeated, Casimero in the other hand has a power and ability as well, It is highly difficult to choose between them, but this time I would choose Inoue's side.

Inoue is one monster up in the ring but the Filipino courage and dedication is really cannot be underestimated because we have already watched greatest Filipino in the past and this is one big chance for Casimero to revenge Nonito as a countrymen.

[blckhawk]

A chance to avenge Donaire. Though crowd's favorite must be in Inoue's favor, giving greater odds to Casimero. Casimero's 5 last fights are TKOs and KOs, and proves he is on fire. Winning the title against Zolani Tete also set his grounds on Inoue.

He also has the power to bring down Inoue, but should always be wary. Seeing that shot on Tete that brought him down is plausible.

That's correct because if Tete was not injured, there's a chance that he will face Inoue in the World Boxing Super Series and might beat him due to his smart style of boxing, but since Casimero beat him in a title fight, he is out of the picture now.

He also has the power to bring down Inoue, but should always be wary. Seeing that shot on Tete that brought him down is plausible.

Both have power, therefore we can expect a very explosive fight since this fight is in the US, i think the crowd will be divided but the betting favorites will always be Inoue.

That is what exactly Filipino’s are looking forward,for casimero to put this Japanese fighter into the floor as the defeat of Nonito Donaire is still fresh for all of us,so we wanted a revenge for our countrymen.

He also has the power to bring down Inoue, but should always be wary. Seeing that shot on Tete that brought him down is plausible.

All boxers can beat their opponent because they are all the power of punches,the only problem is how he will counter the attack from this power puncher and how to react in each strategy Inoue will use against him.

@bisdak40 - kindly update the OP,

Venue: Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas
Date: April 25, 2020

As BoxingScene.com reported, Inoue will come in against WBO champion John Riel Casimero (29-4, 20 knockouts) in a high stakes unification. The contest take place on April 25 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At Friday's event, AsianBoxing reported that Inoue said: "It's very exciting and I want to fight soon. It's meaningful to have a three belt match. My first fight in Las Vegas, I want to clear it safely and move on to the next. Las Vegas is the home of boxing and I'm proud to be the main event."

Unfortunately, Casimero is not present because of visa problem. I like how Inoue giving props to Filipinos for being a fierce competitor. He said that he can't get anyone to face him in the ring but Casimero is all game. As we have said, he has the guts and the tools to face anyone in the ring regardless of venues.

Probably this could end up as fight of the year candidate.

[Japinat]

Probably this could end up as fight of the year candidate.

I hope so because these two boxers are always entertaining to fight.
Inoue's fight against Donaire was a good fight too as both boxers gave their best to get the trophy, it's just unfortunate that Donaire was gas out in the later rounds.

That fight was a classic hat offs to Donaire I guess age caught up with him but a good fight for all involves, boxers, fans, and the industry and if this fight against Casimero push through we will have another classic great fight I have a hard time deciding because of Casimero's knock out of Tete has a huge impact he knows how to land a perfect punch Casimero is one good boxer.

[carlisle1]

in experience and record yeah Casimero is really in advantage in this fight but with the ability and capacity?

Both have the capacity but we will know who is better after the fight.

of course after the Fight because they are boxer and cannot be determine until they Go up the ring and start the bout lol.

Inoue shows very competent also in this Boxing fight so more or less?this will be a very close fight and entertaining as well.

We never know if its gonna be a close fight, both fighters are knock out artist so we might see an early knockout.

you already mentioned it mate,they are Both KnockOut artist so what we can expect?isn't it a "Close Fight"?

One thing I am certain is that Inoue will be the favorites in the fight but I am hoping in the real fight, it will be an entertaining fight, either close or not.

in this we will not in the same position,because Casimero is the favorite Here because he has a constant winning before this fight though the Defeat of Donaire is still in the scenario.

[btc78]

but Nonito's days are gone because of Him becoming Aging and also he is not a Knock Out artist even in most of His fight His stamina is what the power he uses in every fight,he can stand until the last round that is why he mostly wins in Point system.

Not like Casimero in which had a powerful Job so the Japanese Boxer will surely have a hard one on this fight,let us expect a short Fight here and we will not witness a round 12 here.

For sure it won't be boring because Casimero likes to entertain boxing fans. So most like this could be a war. But I have a feeling that if the fight goes to a distance, Inoue might have an advantage. One thing though is that this is the first time that Inoue will be fighting out of his native Japan so there might be some jitters early and Casimero can capitalise on that.

Donaire gave everything, nothing to be ashamed of his performance, maybe he is already old and no longer at his prime.

That's great, at least this is already final and both fighters will start training for this big fight.
Will be waiting for the betting odds to be live on this fight, as of now, I haven't seen an sports book that has started offering odds of this fight.

I have one request, kindly put the betting odds in the OP once it's available in the market.

[Vaculin]

I have one request, kindly put the betting odds in the OP once it's available in the market.

We will be seeing post of the odds here once it's open for betting, as of now, it's still too early since the event is happening on April 25.

Maybe one month before the fight and that would be march 25 next month we can still betting since for sure odds will be available that time.
Since I am a filipino, I will be supporting casimero, plus i'll get the best odds for sure.
