Casimero vs Rigondeaux this August 14, 2021

[Kasabus]

Agree with you, he is not an easy opponent like other fans are thinking. According to their record, both stands at 5′ 4″   but Rigondeaux has wider reach compared to Casimero, but anyway it's not a big deal as Casimero beat a taller fighter.

While we are hoping to see an Inoue vs Casimero fight, I think this fight is also big and we have to appreciate the promoter for making this possible.

this is a unification fight, so it's an important fight, and opposite to Inoue fight, here it was Rigondeaux who calls the challenge and Casimero accepted it right away.

Voted as well, sorry, but I'm a bit bias here as I will vote for a Filipino boxer. I guess most of us here will vote for Casimero but it's still nice to see how many will vote for Rigondeaux to win. More information about this fight, worth a read for me.

Go check.

^ Me too, I already voted and it seems Casimero is their choice.
The odds and the people are eye-in with Casimero and for me, this is a match where Casimero’s skill will be proven. Rigondeaux is somehow hard than the previous players Casimero fought such as Inoue Pow but with proper conditioning and great connections, I think he will be able to win against him. One good thing about Casimero have as well is that his styles are very flexible and sometimes unpredictable. Rigo would find it hard to analyze and strategize the match because of that. But this is a good match-up. Nevertheless, Good luck bettors.

We can rely on these two fighters will train hard to win, this is a unification match and it's very important as one would lose his belt if he loses. Rigondeaux journey less the loss of against Lomachenko, you would not think that he will be the dog here, but because of that, people think that Casimero will win as he is in his prime now.

We also have to remember that Rigondeaux  loss because he climb in weight, he fought a bigger fighter and we can see that, but now he is coming back to a weight where he is very comfortable, so it's a big challenge on Casimero on how to beat him.

So it's 7-0 in favour of Casimero. Definitely it seems that we see him as favoured to win against Rigo.

And boxing fans is really looking for the Casimero vs Inoue fight. And I think Casimero is really 'dreaming' a fight against the Monster and won't allow Rigo to derail. Rigo will face a big challenge for Casimero no doubt about it, and even in interview Casimero is really full of confident as he promises to take down Rigo here.

Something that will boost more with his career once the fight against Inoue got finalized.

He won't allow Rigo to interfere but he needed to showcase his talent to create more interest from both fans and promoters so after
this fight and if he win it against Rigo then the call against Inoue will be more quicker as fans will anticipate that both camps will settle
all the conditions to make things happen.

The voting in here does not mean Casimero has a huge chance to win, this isn't an easy fight for him. of course I will root for him to win but I would not be too confident that he will win since Rigondeaux has more experience than him and has fought a lot of champions too. I'm just hoping he will win and for sure this will be a great fight.

[Japinat]

Still 7-0 as of now, no one has voted for Rigondeaux to win this fight.

I guess you guys are being biased.. lol.... I love this fight, it's definitely one of the biggest fights of our Filipino champion, a win will result to better future opportunities.

Wow.. this statement made me think if he can really knock Rigo out.
text from the article above

Brimming with confidence, Johnriel Casimero thinks two-division world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux won't last 6 rounds against him

I know this guy talks much and also shows it in the ring, but he better stop underestimating Rigondeaux as he won't be a champion if he is not good, and he beat Donaire that is in his prime. If Casimero can match the speed, then it will be a great fight.

Yeah, everyone is biased here as there are more Filipino boxing fans around in this community. And we have seen how dangerous and brandish Casimero is, and he can back up all the trash talking. So it's possible that he will knock out Rigo in style.

And this kind of statement is more of a psyche type, being confident and you know that you are going to win, then it can be embedded in his mind and be positive entering the fight. And it could have a negative effect on Rigo too once he read Casimero's statement.

I don't think so, they are in the business for a long period of time already, it's not new to them, trash talk and everything, these are just words and it would help to hype the fight, but the real fight is in the right, not outside.

For sure! those trash talks are part of this business, marketing strategy to attract fans engagements, the more they use blatant words the more the fans

will get excited and see how it will going to executed. I use to remember those fighters who do this with Pacman, after the fight they've realized that
it was so wrong making statements to him as they've suffer the consequences.

For Casimero that is normal to him, he is a legit trash talker and has very high confidence in the ring. However, I would still admire him as he always challenges or accepts a challenge from the best in boxing, and since he was challenge by Rigo, he accepts it instantly.

All he wants is to give us a good fight, of course, he wants to be more successful too, and to reach that stage, he needs to beat the best.

Good luck to him, this isn't an easy fight for him but I believe he can win.

Their prediction is that Rigondeaux will win, I like to hear from the fans of Casimero, what do you think?

I’m picking Rigondeaux to score the upset – if you want to call it that – and outpoint Casimero in a damn good fight in August. Then, maybe, Rigondeaux will face “The Monster.”

As to how that fight would go, we must see how much Rigondeaux looks to have left in the Casimero fight, and also see how much this fight takes out of him.

They have a point as Rigondeaux is a technical fighter with a wide experience and he can beat Casimero.

[Sanitough]

That's a good one man, we are just thinking there that Casimero would easily win this fight but the whole world thinks it's gonna be a close fight and it's hard to decide on who we will think will win. I say it's 50/50 but of course, we support what's ours and we should not be surprised that Casimero is leading the poll in our thread.

By the way for those who are looking at how to watch this, you can see the info on this site. https://www.premierboxingchampions.com/rigondeaux-vs-casimero

it's available on showtime live stream, I'm not sure it's televised free in the Philippines since it's a big fight.

If only this fight was held five years ago then i think Rigo might have won as he was more of a defensive fighter and a technical too, i agree.

But with his age of 40, things have changed and the power and speed that Rigo have diminished with time while Casimero has been through a lot of battles outside of his home country.

As i've said before, Casimero have different style than Donaire. The latter is more of a counter puncher while the former is an aggressive fighter that he will take the fight to his opponent. Rigo will be overwhelm by Casimero when bell rings as he eager to prove to his fans that Rigo will not derail his path to a big fight with the Monster.

If that's what we are going to witness in the fight, I would be so happy. I will support the Filipino here, it's our "kababayan" so it's automatic that we will support him. Manny will soon retire from boxing, and it's just good to see a new fighter will become popular in the world.

Though this fight is not gonna happen soon, but I can already feel the excitement.
I've already seen a lot of youtube videos from Filipino bloggers and I love to watch their content.

That's correct, the style of Donaire is very simple, knock his opponent out and he will win.
I saw some of his fights that he struggles, his fight against Walters is one good example, he hit Walters good but he cannot knock him out so instead, Walters knocks him badly. Another good example was his fight with Inoue, he also has some good rounds but he cannot take down Inoue so in the later round he suffers the power of Inoue.

When it comes to counter punching then Donaire does have it but it do honestly lack out power even though his KO percentage is sitting on >50% but still not really that a hard puncher
that can finish off but i do really appreciate when it comes to stamina.In regards with Casimero where they do have difference in fighting style which a bit more aggresive but can
really handle it out till the end, a little more work on his footwork then all things would be set.
