[Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight

[samcrypto]

Inoue beat Nonito on their last fight and I can say that Inoue is still on a hot position and no records of losing. This is gonna be a tough fight for Casimero but I also believe on Filipino fighting spirit so hopefully Casimero will win and put a mark on a losing record of Inoue. Will wait for the final announcement of this one, a great fight of 2020 so far.

[Heartilly]

Why do others think that Casimero wants revenge to Inoue because the latter defeat Donaire?

Do you really think just because Inoue won against Donaire, Casimero showed interest in revenge?

Absolutely no. That's a mandatory fight and it was a lineup before taking a unification for Inoue, only if he will defeat Casimero.

V.S.
Boxing records check for John Riel Casimero and Naoya Inoue;
John Riel Casimero has totally the advantage of boxing records with 29-4-0.
The only advantage of Naoya Inoue here is he is still undefeated. This is probably the biggest advantage of Naoya Inoue against John Riel Casimero, since having 0 loss is very important and inspiring.
Reach and height is also favor of Naoya Inoue, hmmmm. Seems like we will see a nice odds for this match. Looking forward to a better odds here.

It looks like Casimiro wants revenge from the loss of his fellow Filipino brother Donaire to the hands of Inoue. That was unexpected coz I know Donaire got speed as shown in his previous fight but Inoue does big shots.
Both fighters have an amazing winning streak and certainly, they are young and hungry for the belt.

That was exciting to see and how could Casimiro proves to be the best and can defend his belt.

Donaire once a great fighter but he only has speed but lack of power punches that is why he was dominated by Inoue,this time Casimero on the other hand has speed and power so there is truly a chance for him to beat Inoue.

even though the favorite here is the Japanese Boxer yet the Filipino will not give the Fight that easy so we will be seeing good match upon these 2.

also hoping the odds will get closer as the fight comes near.

It's doesn't work that way though, at least personally I don't think like that.

Filipino though are very nationalistic that's why some of them boxing fans thinks that it will be a revenge fight for Casimero, unless Casimero himself confirmed it, but I doubt about that. They are not related at all, maybe it was a good spin on this fight to promote it.

[AniviaBtc]

this is one of the biggest fight Filipino has been waiting,because Inoue is being tagged as a young Pacquiao while Casimero is a Filipino fighter that will not let foreign boxer to take the title from Manny.

Are you serious? How can he take the title from Manny? He has nothing to prove to our Filipino Boxer Manny Pacquiao that have a great career in defeating many opponents and rivals. Inoue will never be the same as young Pacquiao even if he's undefeated in a professional career. Although he defeated Nonito Donaire which is a Filipino, that doesn't mean that he can be in the same level as Pacquiao.

while you are right that i thought it was Dasmarinas but it is fine because if Casimero did not beat inoue then he will have a chance to take it.

Casimero is much better than Michael Dasmarinas, although they have same Filipino blood. Johnriel Casimero is enough to beat Inoue with his devastating hand that defeated Zolani Tete in his latest matchup in Birmingham. In that fight, you can see that Casimero is really undisputed inside the boxing ring.

[Oasisman]

Interesting match up. This match could define both fighters. Casimero will have to prove himself again as one of the greatest Filipino fighter of all time, while Inoue on the other end, continuing his dominance in his weight division.
Inoue is quick and explosive, his win against Donaire is good, but let's consider Nonito is already aging. Now, let's take it from this match If Inoue is really an excellent fighter.

That's right, they are both professionals and revenge will only stress their mind during training. There is also no reason for revenge since Inoue won with a clean fight and no doubt that he dominated Donaire in their fight.

[Darker45]

This is going to be a very difficult battle for Casimero. Inoue is still at his peak. He's got very quick hands, strong punches, amazing footwork, and so on. This young man did not go the distance for most of his fights but he has proven in his recent match against Nonito that he could very well go up to 12 rounds fighting toe to toe without slowing down.

For sure, Casimero will be a huge underdog in this match. He might probably be receiving a much higher odds for this, much higher than when he faced Tete and won.

[bisdak40]

As far as I'm aware, Inoue doesn't speak good English, which could limit his appeal to western audiences, particularly with the huge number of interviews and media appearances that fighters are expected to complete these days.

Good observation man. I hope Top Rank will do something about it just like what they did to Manny Pacquiao when he first fight in the US soil, he too doesn't speak good English at that time.

Let's see if he takes full advantage of the US platform and gets the respect he deserves.

For me this is 50/50 as Casimero could win this fight and might ruin the debut of Inoue fighting on foreign soil. Casimero is not a technical fighter like Donaire but he does have a punch that can knock opponents like a smaller Inoue.

Can't wait to see the odds the bookies will put in here, high chance that Inoue is the favorite here.

are you serious also?did anyone here says that "He Took" the title from Manny?what i said he was tagged as young Pacquiao the way he fought but that is not necessarily mean he was already awarded as Pacquiao,and i will not also let that happen because there are so many great boxers in Philippines that can be like Manny,Pinoys are one of the greatest fighter ever lived since from the past from Flash Elorde and many more.

while you are right that i thought it was Dasmarinas but it is fine because if Casimero did not beat inoue then he will have a chance to take it.

In that fight, you can see that Casimero is really undisputed inside the boxing ring.

all boxers has their own way of defeating opponent ,remember that even Manny Pacquiao Lose to Marquez with just a  solid Blow because of over confidence  and this is why Casimero must not give this chance to the Japanese boxer.

I'm reading some what appears emotional comments from my countrymen here. Chill out and let's look at the match up more objectively 


Thanks @GreatArkansas for posting their fight records. Looking at it now, Casimero's more experience in the ring could play a big part if he is going to win. Despite being only two years older, he has accumulated 14 more fights than Inoue. Oh boy, Inoue may be a huge favorite because of his undefeated record but he is facing a guy who is battle tested and has power.

[aioc]

I like this happen more than the fight against Dasmarinas both fighters are unconventional they are both fast and strong puncher, of course, I would be betting on Casimero he is my top favorites among up and rising Filipino fighters and he can pull a big upset here, I'm pretty sure Inoue will be the favorite here.

[Rosilito]

It looks like Casimiro wants revenge from the loss of his fellow Filipino brother Donaire to the hands of Inoue. That was unexpected coz I know Donaire got speed as shown in his previous fight but Inoue does big shots.

He can do that, he wants some revenge for his fellow filipino boxer, but in terms of speedy by Donaire, I think he has slowed down, and in that fight against Inoue, it was Inoue  who is the speedy fighter.

Donaire's getting old already, he must be slowing down. And Inoue is far more younger than Donaire, so may be age does matter in his battle, I guess so? (I'm not generalizing, it was may be in Donaire and Inoue fight that age come in, as an advantage). For experience? Nah, not literally Inoue already had a great boxing journey, and definitely Donaire too.

But man, this fight isn't going to be on who's more quick. Casimiro been carrying this great purpose, so he will definitely fighting Inoue with an additional revenge punch power lol.

Not trying to be biased, but though it is a lot of fight, I don't think that it is necessary in this fight? They are both developed and experienced fighting a former champion. So, this might going to be a battle of boxing intelligence rather than experience and power alone.

[Natalim]

I like this happen more than the fight against Dasmarinas both fighters are unconventional they are both fast and strong puncher, of course, I would be betting on Casimero he is my top favorites among up and rising Filipino fighters and he can pull a big upset here, I'm pretty sure Inoue will be the favorite here.

Lots of Casimero fans here, in his last fight he was also an underdog, Tete was (-250) against him but he beat Tete via KO before the 12 round and Tete that time was underestimating Casimero so he was surprise as he wasn't expecting that easy KO. ( he had surely learn from that)>

moving to this fight, both fighters came from a win, but Inoue having trouble against Donaire, and I like how Casimero is calling this fight.
in an interview IIRC, he calls, "monster lets fight"..

[Mahanton]

Boxing records check for John Riel Casimero and Naoya Inoue;
John Riel Casimero has totally the advantage of boxing records with 29-4-0.
The only advantage of Naoya Inoue here is he is still undefeated. This is probably the biggest advantage of Naoya Inoue against John Riel Casimero, since having 0 loss is very important and inspiring.

Try to look on what happened between Nonito Donaire and Inoue. Even though that they do have gaps on experience but still he defeated Nonito but well
its considerable yet when we do talk about age difference.This casimero would be different which hes isnt too old and do still have that aggressiveness.
I agree on some sentiments that he should prepare to received strong body blows on which Inoue is known for.

[YuginKadoya]

Those numbers arent only a show-off and we know on what are the capabilities of Naoya.He wont reach that spot if havent any skills.
Honestly,i do really like for Casimero to win the fight but he should be ready to toughen up his lower body for heavy possible shots would made by Inoue.
If he can stand for longer rounds or does have that stamina and make some good counters then he might win.

I have known that Naoya Inoue can be a tough contender for Casimero since that fight with Donaire is a hard one and taking down the champion like that is a feat he attained, that Moniker "MONSTER" is not for show and his devastating punches can not be taken so lightly by Casimero, but I still had high hopes that even if he doesn't achieve beating Inoue but giving him a hard time as well, but I am still hoping he is able to beat him.

I hope that Casimero will win this fight, since it is difficult to predict who is having more potential to win this fight, Casimero is a good filipino fighter and have a great standing and statistics, but Inoue is like mayweather in his stat, NO record of loss, if I am not mistaken, this could be a great fight, but a difficult for us gamblers to bet on who's side gonna win this one, will watch more of their fight for me to decide.

I also hope that Casimero can bring glory to the Filipino and offer to us the win that Donaire did not attain, This fight is indeed a very hard one to predict both fighters had great style, punching power but I think the toughness to take the punch and damage and the determination is the thing they need, but I also hope that John Reil Casimero can win this fight.

[coin-investor]

This fight will be bigger this 2020, both fighters are strong and fast, Casimero is a veteran and he's been to a lot of war and so is Inoue, this will be a big test for both fighter's career, I'll go for Casimero he is slightly ahead in my analysis and of course, he is also my favorite, if he is lucky he could knock out Inoue, I hope there will be a date for this fight.

[fortunecrypto]

They should come out with a date now because if there is no date it's just a possibility this fight should materialize so both fighters can really test their toughness, we all know that both fighters are tough, but you can only be tough when you are facing a fighter that is as tough as you, this is going to be a must-watch, and boxing fans will definitely talk this match.  

[Baofeng]

For me this is 50/50 as Casimero could win this fight and might ruin the debut of Inoue fighting on foreign soil. Casimero is not a technical fighter like Donaire but he does have a punch that can knock opponents like a smaller Inoue.

Can't wait to see the odds the bookies will put in here, high chance that Inoue is the favorite here.

Just imagine if Casimero derails, Inoue US pro debut, that will be huge, similar to what Ruiz did to AJ  .

So yeah, 50/50 here, there could be some upsets as Casimero is capable of doing that in his career. This is not by any chance a so called revenge fight. Of course, Pinoys will be behind Casimero here, but it doesn't mean he will try to avenge Nonito's lost.
