Breaking : Donaire Versus Casimero

[LogitechMouse]

Seeing 2 Filipinos to fight isn't a common thing for us. For me, this is the first time that I saw 2 Filipino fighters fighting in the ring at least with the same popularity as them.

The winner of the match will fight Inoue who got a marvelous 3rd round stoppage against another Filipino, Michael Dasmarinas. I want to win Donaire here because I want to see a rematch between him and Inoue but it seems like he doesn't have the speed that he has in his younger days at least for me but still, its hard to predict who will be the winner here knowing that both of them are really good fighters.

[AicecreaME]

I'll go for Donaire, not because he's a fellow Filipino but because his punch power is insane. I watched all of his matches and most of it are all win by knockouts. I can't compare him to Pacquiao's punch, but they could be the same with a little bit practice and experience. This fight is exciting as well as Pacquiao's incoming match this August.

I guess me and my cousins will have a friendly gambling competition on betting on which of the player is gonna win.

I'm not surprised they went for the unification match as boxing is a business and it will be better for more revenue. It'll be interesting to see Casimero win because I want to see what he can do next and hopefully this will clear the way for Inoue. But Donaire is a veteran and will not go down lightly. It's going to be a tough fight for Donaire as well just because he's battling father time and wants to be undisputed. Respect for both fighters, it's going to be a good one.

We haven't seen this kind of fight before, I know it's necessary but the big question is, can it generate big money? One of the reasons why a fight is successful is if the fighters have different races, and knowing that the Philippines is a small country, will the Americans or Mexicans watch this fight?

This is a unification fight, it's a championship fight, no way it will not generate big money although both fighters are Filipino.
Usually, a big event like this is held in the US and there's a big market in the US, so definitely it's a success.

One of the reasons why a fight is successful is if the fighters have different races, and knowing that the Philippines is a small country, will the Americans or Mexicans watch this fight?

Not only those two races, but we also have other races that will be interested in watching the fight, and, we also have to consider the PPV which is available all over the world.

Regarding their punches, both boxers have good record of KOs. Donaire is a bit more experienced in the ring but this is counterbalanced  by  Casimero's  craving to fight for respect. Both boxers are  Filipinos champions and this has to  make the fight  particularly fierce. Providing the judges were stay not biased  I would bet on Casimero.

Both are KO artists, and we all agree to that. Here are their respective records.

Nonito Donaire - 27 KOs of 41 wins. 65.85 % KO RATE
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/48243

John Riel Casimero - 21 KOS of 30 wins  70% KO RATE
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/421916

As we can see the comparison, Casimero has a high KO rate but it was actually Donaire who has more championship fights experience.

Im going for Donaire on this fight even though Casimero is good but when it comes to technicalities and experience then Donaire does have the advantage.

We know that he's much more experience than with Casimero and when it comes to speed and counterpunching then this is his edge over Casimero
and i dont know if Casimero would able to cope up with that.

Neither both of this Filipino fighters would win this fight should be the one to fight with Inoue which had just recently humiliated Dasmarinas like a puppy.

Race is not an issue on this fight ticket sale. Remember that there's a lot of boxing fans out there that's supporting not there own race. Plus the boxer fighting is both a champion so it's enough to make this match still worthy watch no matter is your race.

This match is gonna be flashy and intense. Both fighter is hungry for this title unification match so they will not give up easily no matter what happens.

I'm sure Inoue would wish that Donaire would beat Casimero as Donaire is an easy opponent for him, it would be easy for him to get all the belt and be the undisputed champion in the bantamweight division. I forgot, we still have Rigondeaux who is also holding a belt in the Bantam Weight division. https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/492989

[DU18]

this fight is like a fight that smells national, and as a boxing connoisseur, of course this kind of fight is not what I am waiting for, to be honest I might miss a fight where both participants are from one country, I think the Philippines is an Asian country that produces there are many boxers in the world and of course it will be very interesting when Asian boxers can fight boxers from western and Latin American countries, that's why I prefer to see Casemiro face Cuban beating specialist Guillermo Rigondo.

If someone is a real boxing fan, they will probably watch this never seen before fight between these two Filipino superstars.
The Casimero - Rigondeaux fight might be boring to watch, but not this one for sure. We have seen Donaire fight many times and he's an exciting fighter to watch with his speed, power, and agility. Same thing goes to Casimero which is still at his prime hungry for more wins.
Selling tickets is not gonna be a problem I think. Because of the Covid safety protocols the events arena might limit the number of people in attendance. So, I guess they'll going to sell all of them anyway.
And also, they're not going to make this fight If it wouldn't sell enough.

They wont really be making or do set-up fights if the association itself would see that they wont really be selling out tickets or PPV's on a certain fight.

They would really be making ways that they could generate revenue as much as they can and this both fighters would surely do the job.

It is just way too impossible that this two isnt known and i would definitely be like to see Casimero-Donaire even though both does have same nationality
but the action and entertainment that it would give is what i've been looking for.

If it's held in the USA then I don't see a problem with a crowd to watch the fight, if you ever see the NBA playoffs now, I remember the Clippers had at least 18k attendance during the game 7 against the Jazz. So, I guess, this boxing fight will attract the crowd to watch it live, and those who cannot make it will just have to buy their PPV subscription.

And also, they're not going to make this fight If it wouldn't sell enough.

That's the logic.

[harizen]

What's the reason why it became an all Filipino match up? I am not gonna lie, I am pretty sure that Filipino fans are utterly divided right now because it's an all Filipino match.

Read the posted news on the main post.

And no, how would PH fans will be divided if, in the end, it's still the same Filipino who will win. Boxing enthusiasts are already aware that it's always possible to happen.

Either way, Donaire and Casimero will still face each other if they will win their respective matches. It's a thing that they can be avoided if they will be both on a winning streak and within the same weight class.

[goinmerry]

This fight will push through and I'm sure the next match either of this one is against Inoue again.

That fight will not be a shortcut to Naoya Inoue who just recently won.

Whoever will win, they will face Nordine Ouballi first. That was the agreement. Then after that against Guillermo Rigondeaux but can now be direct against Inoue if considered.

I don't root for either Donaire and Casimero as whoever wins, I like them to have a match with Naoya Inoue. But first, they have to pass Nordine Oubaali. Inoue is already 2-0 against Pinoy boxers and that should be break or else we will end up as Mexico during Pacquiao days.

[tabas]

Both are good boxers and this match isn't going to be an easy to choose if you're going to bet on it. I won't be betting with this, I don't know how it's going to end up.
Both has the caliber but I guess the majority will choose Donaire.

So far Donaire is winning in the poll I also have voted Donaire, Donaire is a more technical boxer he can score points in every round while Casimero is always going for a knockout I believe Donaire has Casimero's number, Donaire has been to a lot of great fights in his career and he has rejuvenated again after the bout with Oubaali, this is one exciting fight, it should not be missed.

It's just a poll but the crowd is really with Donaire as the guy ahead in points. I agree that this shouldn't be missed and that's why these two will definitely make their matches one of the best.
Both came from the same country and that's really a surprising twist from this match.

[peter0425]

In a big turn of events, Casimero is not going to fight Rogondeaux anymore it will be an all Filipino match up

Donaire Versus Casimero

The Casimero-Rigondeaux matchup was quality but Donaire-Casimero, which will be televised live on Showtime from a site that has yet to be announced (the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California is the likely venue), is a better bantamweight showdown as both Filipinos are aggressive boxer-punchers.

Rigondeaux will be in a position to face the winner.

Who do you think will have the edge? and will Unify the Bantamweight Title

https://www.ringtv.com/623186-nonito-donaire-replaces-guillermo-rigondeaux-to-make-john-riel-casimero-title-unification-fight/

two Filipino pride will face each other?

common is there no once that fits Pinoy fighter that's why they are matching together?

I'm not betting in anyone of them and i may not watch the game as well. this isn't fair i guess when there are many great boxers around the world for them to face.

[Yaunfitda]

Joining the fun and voted for Donaire. Nonito seems to be the sentimental favorite amongst Filipino and non-Filipino boxing fans here. Maybe it was because he is really that good and has a chance against Inoue who beat a hapless Dasmarinas or he is well love.

But Casimero is also a beast in this division, and he has been calling Inoue since last year, actually they supposed to fight but due to covid and then scheduling conflict the fight didn't materialized.

fights between two fighters of the same nationality aren't new. I'm not sure why you would find it unfair, but as for me I am excited about the fight and I am having a hard time thinking about who would win, but I voted Donaire for biased reasons. Both are a great fighter with a great fighting style that let them win their fights, seeing these two fighters in the same ring is a match that should be watched and it would be a shame to miss it.

[pinggoki]

If I will be given a chance to choose between those two fighters on who will win the fight then probably I will go for Nonito Donaire as he is one of the Filipino Pride and as a fellow Filipino I will support my fellow men. Casimero is also one of the good fighters in the Philippines but still when it will be based on the stats, Donaire is one step ahead for him and if this will be based on experience, Nonito has a big advantage on it.
