Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021

[TimeTeller]

I still have that memory of Rigondeaux losing to Lomachecnko he can be out of control and lose focus when he is dominated and cannot hit, this could happen again, against a fighter like Casimero who can frustrate you with his movement and Powershot, and the long inactivity will have a big impact on his performance.

Since he already experiences that kind of feeling, he is fully aware now of what he will do.

I'm with Casimero here, as a countryman but he should treat Rigondeaux as a threat to his legacy.

40 years of age with only 1 loss, that's how that boxer able to maintain his good record over years.

High likely that sportsbooks will favor Casimero here.
But definitely, Casimero should not take this fight for granted.
Few months of training is still ahead of him, so there's a lot of time to prepare for this match.
Now, we just wait what odds are waiting for them.

I agree, although Rigondeaux is no longer in his prime and probably just want to have a good pay check before he retire, he still pose a threat to Casimero.

And besides, Casimero is expected to blast him so that he can set up a huge fight with Inoue. But still a dangerous fight that Casimero shouldn't take for granted. Just excited to see that Casimero will finally have a fight, I'm sure all of us miss this hard hitting Filipino boxer.

Rigondeaux only lost is to Lomachenko, but the fight happen when Rigo can't pull the trigger anymore and Loma uses his technical ability to frustrate Rigo in every round.

So I'm also with Casimero here, still in his prime and one of the best in this division together with the Japanese monster. Maybe this will be the first time that we will see Rigo going down in the canvass if Casimero can sneak one straight hard right hand.

I thought that Casimero vs Inoue will happen this year, perhaps we need to wait till the covid-19 pandemic is over next year.

As for this fight, good tune up for Casimero but he needs to focus and not looking over Rigo and think about Inoue fight in the future. I think Rigo even at 40 years old is still very dangerous, his straight hand is underrated, but this will be his main weapon and then his superb defense skills. Casimero will be the favorite and i do hope that there will be no upset or Rigo derailings Casimero vs Inoue.

There's no rumor on that, the supposed to be the fight of Inoue and Casimero was already canceled, after that, they have their fights and have won them.

For me this is not just a tune-up, this is a serious fight that could be as serious as Inoue, if Inoue and Rigondeaux will fight, I think the odds will also be close as Rigondeaux is a legit opponent, once a champion and he would always have that heart of a champion.

Rigondeaux is ancient for a bantamweight. Officially he is 40, but he looks even older. He used to be known as a boring fighter, especially after that snoozefest against Nonito Donaire, but now that he's in decline he's become more of an action fighter.

Casimero isn't considered anything special but he is champion for a reason and I think he should win the fight based on being younger and in his prime.

Casimero record :
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/421916 (30 wins - 4 loses)

Rigondeaux record :
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/492989 (20 wins - 1 loss)

^ Record shows that Casimero has more fights and more wins and it would probably he will be the possible winner in this match.
If you will look into their personal stats, Rigondeaux has more inactive days than his opponent which means probably he did not have active into boxing activity. And also age it seems he is also older than Casimero, at age of 40 will probably a good sign to stop your boxing career. However, this is only my personal opinion. I will go in Casimero here, it seems he will be got high odds.

high odds because hes the underdog 😁
casimero is no match to him. he will not last a round against this guy. did you see what he did to donaire?
rigondeaux stopped fighting for awhile but it doesnt mean he forgets his boxing skills and he is too big for casimero.

^ Is that true?
Long-term practice is always to the advantage of all boxers. As far as I know, most Filipino have been given enough time to train, during the past year most of them around 90% of the Filipino boxers win because of their perseverance. In this match, I would give my coin to Casimero, not just because of his fighting style, also at his age. From another perspective, Casimer also has more experience than Guillermo. In the fights, he had been tougher than Guillermo as well. I don’t really think these are not enough bases for Casimero to win here.

Nah, Casimero has fought a southpaw boxer before with height and reach advantage and did pretty well in the fight. seeing Rigondeaux's fight with Lomachenko you can see that he doesn't have the same speed and power as he did 8 years ago when he fought Donaire(a great fight and an impressive win for Rigondeaux's). as for Casimero, he is in his prime and you can see that he still has his speed and power that could prove troublesome for Rigondeaux.

Right, when he fought Donaire, he was in his prime, but today at 40 years old Rigondeaux speed and power has gone for sure. Maybe his defensive instinct is there, but it will not be enough to beat a high caliber and power and aggressive boxer like Casimero. For experience, I will say both of them have the same. But Casimero has the edge here because of his superior talent and power.

Yes, it was cancelled because of the pandemic, but Casimero did his part, he beat Micah.
On the part of Inoue, he won against Jason Moloney. So I think they will still collide in the future.

Tune up fights in the sense that Casimero needed to get busy and fight this year, otherwise he will be rusty. I disagree though, Casimero will be the favorite here. Yes, Rigo is legit, but in his last fight, he won on split decision and he is not getting any younger as well. And Casimero is battle tested, he has traveled around the world to fights and won.

In the future, probably, but it looks like Bob Arum who is the promoter of Inoue is afraid of MP promotion's fighters. They were already announced, why it's canceled? Pandemic is just an excuse because there are fights that have happened during the pandemic, they can make it happen if they find a way.

Every promoter has their own style or strategy, if a promoter would not allow a certain fight, that means that is not good for the business. We have to understand that it's all go down to "business". What if Inoue loses against Casimero? That would be the end of his popularity, so they maybe are looking for an opponent that they think they have a huge chance of winning.

[AicecreaME]

Boxing is all about endurance, techniques, and power. Rigondeaux looks physically weak for me, compare to Casimero, maybe it is because of their age gap or their workout routine. With Casimeros's good boxing record and being young, I think he has the advantage in this fight if they are gonna exchange blows equally. However, I don't think Rigondeaux's body could handle so much body punch from Casimeros's, so he won't last long if that's what is gonna hit him.

[smyslov]

Some people might think that the fight against Rigondeaux is a big test but it's not because he is a fading fighter he is not young and his last few fights showed that he is aging but he still can, Rigondeaux will come here as an underdog but who knows if he still has something left in him that can give Casimero and the boxing world a big surprised.

Age doesn’t really matter in this match. Casimero, at a young age, has a better experience, standing, and match profile than the guy with a defense specialty. It’s been a while since Casimero holds the title and I don’t really think that Rigondeaux could earn it from him.

Try to watch the highlights of Casimero’s matches, you would be amazed how he nails the matches he had before. And honestly, I find it boring to watch Rino/El Chaca’s previous matches. Odds will surely favor Casimero here.

[Ryker1]

Well, Casimero is a Filipino Fighter same as Manny Pacquiao --their pride is enough to take advantage and win against any contenders.
In this match, I would choose Casimero and I think he will be in favor of sports bookmakers. Their experience is too far. Casimero has all it takes to win. Rigo on the other side is a very boring fighter, I agree with you all here. This match will not become that mainstream. There are not many known fighters compared to others, as well.  But still, a worthy fight to watch. I just hope that someday I would experience watching matches live. But that is too impossible for now because of the pandemic.

[agustina2]

But in boxing, pride is not enough. You need strength to fulfill the pride.

Knowing Casimero, he's an aggressive boxer so I don't question his offensive firepower. But since Rigondeaux will likely shift into defense more, Casimero just needs to be cautious to cover the hole that might be used as an opening by his opponent. A lucky shot always has a chance to strike.

[tabas]

Rigondeaux got a good standing and the same as Casimero. But I'm still not yet familiar with Rigondeaux's fighting style but his record tells one thing, that he's also a good fighter as Casimero.

They're known for it and I agree it's not enough but the usual thing, training and experience makes them strong fighters.

You should watch some youtube highlights of his, for sure you'll be amaze how good he is defensively and at the same time, I'm afraid you'll feel bored on his boxing style.

I'm thinking, if Casimero beat Tete, there's no reason he can't beat Rigondeaux here, but I'm telling you, Casimero won't get the odds of the heavy favorites here. By saying "heavy", for me it means odds like 3/1 and up.

Thanks for that hint, that's why before betting on this match, I'll make sure that I've got enough analysis and I would take advises from other people like you who have better understanding for both fighters.
