Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[freedomgo]

It looks like Casimero needs to rank up in order for him to be noticed and become a mandatory challenger for the 122 lbs title and possibly have a match with Inoue. 

He sure do need to go through the ranks before he can face any champions at 122 pounds and become a mandatory challenger because he doesn't have any perks that Naoya Inoue have. Aside from that, Casimero also don't have the likes of Bob Arum who do have strong ties to the governing bodies that will give him some favors. We don't need to prove that statement because it's already clear that political ties are far more important in this era.

We don't need to prove that statement because it's already clear that political ties are far more important in this era.

The World Boxing Organization, which had Casimero as its previous bantamweight champion, is also not kind. According to its December top fifteen rating update, there is no Casimero. With his victory over Akaho and the fact that he has won titles in a variety of divisions, Casimero is still not listed in any major boxing organizations. If this man wanted to get a rating, he needs to keep fighting for the next months.  He can fight four times next year if becoming mandatory is the only way to get noticed by the champions. That will be impressive enough to compete against any champion the following year.

I haven't heard the news that Nonito Donaire will compete for the WBC belt. But in any case that Inoue vacated all the belt, obviously it will be open and Nonito once held that belt and probably he is still the number 1 contender not just for WBC or even for the other belts that Inoue held before.

So does make sense if the governing body will allow Nonito to fight for the belt right away and I can't remember if Nonito held either any belts, how many times he become a bantamweight champion and he could be the oldest.

I think Nonito Donaire now got his eyes targeted on a major world title match and this is the ARTICLE well, despite his major knockout lost to the monster Naoya Inoue that is not given him any doubt to himself, and I think that is the good quality of most Filipino's it is hard for them to learn how to give up, and right now Nonito Donaire in the article said that he is targeting Roman Gonzalez and Juan Franciso Estrada,

Ok, I remember now, yes, I read that he wants to target the winner of Roman Gonzalez and Juan Francisco Estrada, just the question if he can make 115 lbs because Nonito is a tall fighter for that weight division and he is not getting any younger so it might affect his body if he go that low.

But if he targets his natural weight class which is bantamweight, then this could be a good decision for him since Inoue has left this division already.

Could be challenge, but I think he could beat the majority of rank fighters here if not beaten by him already.

Well, it is the opportunity that Donaire can shine, although it is a pity because Inoue showed that he is the best and the undisputed winner, now if Nonito Donaire is crowned the best, what will happen if he returns to the 115lb category? It is not better and with a higher level that a boxer can ascend to not be in a better position, have a better future and if they have a higher category in context, they may have a better chance of being more famous, earning more money and making more history of the one they have done, I think that this is something that can happen, whether Inpue has left the way clear.

Speaking of Casimero, the decision was turn over no contest to knockout by the KBM (Korea Boxing Member's Commission).

Not sure though how will this affect those who bet on Casimero winning by knockout, will casino's also turn over their decision and give the winnings to the bettors? I'm asking this because this is the first time that I see this happening for a a long time.

Thank you for the update bro.
I was expecting that to happen but I didn't know the association will be that fast to investigate and conclude the winner of that fight.
It was too obvious, we all know who won that game.
Now, this will give a push for Casimero for his next battle. Will it be Inoue? If he will stay and try to defend his title then there's a chance they will meet.
Or does Casimero need to fight one more boxer to rank up and reach him?

Maybe the Korean boxing commission was really ashamed on what they see on the Japanese fighter and that's why a swift investigation and reversal of the decision. And Akaho admitted that it he was not really hit behind his head so that admission is enough for them to overturn.

I doubt that Casimero will get Inoue, it seems though that Bob Arum is pushing for Naoya to get an immediate title shot against Fulton.

Although it might hurt those in line, but Top Rank is powerful promotion and could do that to the boxing organizations to request that fight immediately. And it's a good match as well, fans are going to be happy if this fight is going to be made once Inoue moves up.

And Akaho should pay for the embarrassment he gave towards the boxing community because he robbed Casimero's chance to win on that very same day and celebrate afterwards but Ryo Akaho is quite wise to retire first before he was given some penalties as he knew that his career was already over the moment he faked what happened in the ring.

As for Inoue, Bob Arum wasn't the one who is pushing Inoue to fight against Fulton. Truth is, it's the other way around because Arum wanted a much safer journey where his cow, Inoue, can test the waters first before facing Stephen Fulton. It's the WBO who made a huge move and gave Inoue a bantamweight super-champion title where he will have the option to go directly to the champion and waste no more time going through the ranks.

Hopefully, it will be Inoue's decision that will prevail in the end, not Arum. Because that's what Inoue wanted in his 122 lbs, against the champion in Stephen Fulton.

And maybe at the back of the mind of Arum, his cash cow could be damage, but as we have seen Inoue's rise to fame, he has improved a lot so it's going to be a good match and I think he has a equal chances against Fulton or any champion at 122 lbs.

So bring Inoue to fight any one them and chase for another greatness in the super bantamweight division.

I'm with you on that sentiment.

Naoya Inoue truly deserves to face a much tougher and stronger opponent rather than giving him a fight that just looks like a mere tune-up fight, I get what Bob Arum thinks but that is not what Inoue need and want. Facing Stephen Fulton directly will be a challenge to the super champion of course but I do think that Inoue can pretty much handle it and 122 pounds is not that far from bantamweight division, so I guess he won't have some struggles on this new weight class.

From everything they've said, I'm also in favor of having a fight against a very tough boxer against Inoue, I think Inoue is up to fighting against the best, and if he goes up in category it's much better because that way he will take the fame he wants, now what I think is the following, if Casimero challenged him, why doesn't he accept the challenge let's see.

Inoue is a boxer who has very good technique, and apart from that he has great discipline, it would be good to amuse all the fans, I think Inoue's sponsor should put him in contact with his representative to see how it can be organized a good meeting.

Stephen Fulton-Naoya Inoue: The WBO Opens a Window

It wasn’t a surprise given the rules and standards of the World Boxing Organization but the news on Wednesday was welcome. 

As reported in the Japan Times and multiple other outlets, 29-year old undisputed bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue (24-0, 21 KO) was “awarded the status of bantamweight super champion in the World Boxing Organization’s latest rankings, giving him priority for a title shot if he moves up to challenge American Stephen Fulton in the weight division above.”

The 28-year old Fulton (21-0, 8 KO) is one of two undefeated, unified titlists currently reigning at Jr. featherweight. Along with the WBO’s, Fulton holds the WBC belt while 28-year old Murodjon Ahkmadaliev (11-0, 8 KO) reigns with the WBA and IBF straps.

I do love to see Casimero vs Inoue, actually, I am so annoyed of some Filipino boxing fans think that Inoue is docking Casimero.  I am quite embarrassed actually because Inoue had proven himself but Casimero shamed himself when he lost his belt on a spa. 

I think he is too embarrassed on how this career at 118 lbs turns out, he was about to make the biggest fight of his career against Inoue, unfortunately, bad decisions lead him nowhere, now campaigning at 122 lbs and he is on a collision with Inoue. So there are still chance that we can see them fight.

Nevertheless, it is quite annoying because it is embarrassing if Casimero kisses the canvas if ever the fight between them happens. I would prefer to just be quiet and request for Casimero Inoue to fight in a decent way.  But sadly, Inoue was made Super Champ, so he can fight for the world title directly on 122 lbs leaving Casimero behind the ranking.

Casimero though is not given preferential treatment like Inoue, so he needs to go fight and earn his spot in the super bantamweight and maybe we will see him and Inoue finally in the ring together. I I think he is still on the radar of Inoue after what he has said on the champion when they are campaigning at bantamweight.

Now, he is back to zero where he have to make his name great again and climb throughout the ranks so that he will be given some points by the governing bodies to fight against the champion or to the mandatory challengers.

[YuginKadoya]

The Philippines right now doesn't have any belts but there are upcoming younger fighters that are surely promising yesterday there are a fight in Bangkok, Thailand the venue was Spaceplus Bangkok RCA the event was called Fire & Fury



Were 2 Filipinos fought their way to get the Asian Boxing Federation Flyweight and Asian Boxing Federation Welterweight Title belts and emerged victorious the event was 3 fights and consisted of

Miel Fajardo VS Sarawut Jiamthong

Fajardo won via KO/TKO left hook, in the 1st round, his original fight was against Adisak Ketpiam but later change to Sarawut Jiamthong instead, and pretty much the fight was in the 10th round but Miel Fajardo won it in the 1st round, and gotten the Asian Boxing Federation Flyweight Title belt,

Toshihiko Era VS Silem Serang

Not a Filipino but a Japanese guy who pretty much won against Silem Serang, and have a KO/TKO in the 5th round, and got himself with Asian Boxing Federation Light Flyweight Title belt,

Ador Torres VS  Meechaiya Kaiwiset

The Original fight for Ador Torres was Watthana Niamsuwan but it was canceled and changed to Meechaiya Kaiwiset pretty he finished the fight in round 4 with a KO/TKO and win the Asian Boxing Federation Welterweight Title belt,


I know all of these fights are pretty new, but eventually, their boxers will surely increase their skills, and over time they can surely make their way to the national title shot,

I might disagree with that. I'm sure that there's no such thing as top boxing councils and organizations thinking of disappointment.

It's just that Casimero is still not ranked up to be able to qualify for a much bigger fight. Simple as it is, he just needs to keep winning from now on and do everything to work on his rankings and soon, he will be eligible again to fight against top ranks or if fortunate, for another title bout.

Since Casimero started again from scratch, it will really take time for him to be in a discussion at the contender's table again but I'm sure he will be able to reach there soon. I'm biased with that expectation as part of being a long-time PH boxing enthusiast and there are reasons to be believed that it will happen.

So there are still chance that we can see them fight.

Aside from getting embarrassed, it's not new anymore that Casimero is already having some struggles maintaining his weight at the bantamweight division. He might get lucky that time and face Paul Butler, but he will undergo the same struggle again once his body rests after every fight and might not get lucky once he's already on a head on collision course with Inoue. Sooner or later, Casimero needs to vacate the division because of that and will find himself fighting at 122 pounds.

Nevertheless, it is quite annoying because it is embarrassing if Casimero kisses the canvas if ever the fight between them happens. I would prefer to just be quiet and request for Casimero Inoue to fight in a decent way.  But sadly, Inoue was made Super Champ, so he can fight for the world title directly on 122 lbs leaving Casimero behind the ranking.

What I'm thinking before is that Inoue or Bob Arum might chose Casimero as Inoue's foe in his debut at 122 lbs. but I guess that won't be happening this time because speculations shows that the WBO super champion will go directly against Fulton.

That's a wild guess but if that happened, Casimero won a jackpot lol. I don't think that will happen though.

They will never give that special opportunity right away for Casimero. I also don't think Inoue's debut will be a title fight right away but instead will face first the rank 1 contender on the Super Bantamweight before facing those champions.

Depends on Bob Arum though as even If Inoue wants to directly meet the champions right away when he moves up, it depends on his promoter.

Yeah, even it might bring a huge crowd, but Arum will take the risk for much bigger catch, allowing Inoue to fight with the current title holder
from this division will gather more ticket sales and interest.

I agree that if that happen to Casimero it will be a jackpot or a dream match for him, but most likely Arum will not allow that and instead
of testing the new division first.

They will go directly and challenge Fulton, bigger money and if Inoue wins, he will hold another title in his belt, bigger opportunity
as well for both Arum and Inoue.

Yes, it might be once big scenario, but I don't think that Inoue or Bob Arum will go that route, they wanted a belt in 122 lbs ASAP and so they will go against Fulton first because letting Casimero have his chance.

I think there is a big chance since he was relegated to special or super champion category that he will be given a crack on the 122 lbs Fulton without going into title elimination or mandatory challenge before facing the champion.

[Kemarit]

It looks like Casimero needs to rank up in order for him to be noticed and become a mandatory challenger for the 122 lbs title and possibly have a match with Inoue. 

He sure do need to go through the ranks before he can face any champions at 122 pounds and become a mandatory challenger because he doesn't have any perks that Naoya Inoue have. Aside from that, Casimero also don't have the likes of Bob Arum who do have strong ties to the governing bodies that will give him some favors. We don't need to prove that statement because it's already clear that political ties are far more important in this era.

Sadly yes, as much as we know that Casimero is a good fighter and I will say that his style bring fans to the seat to watch him because he is so flamboyant and brandish, he will have to go the old style of ranking up because meeting any of the champions at 122 pounds and maybe it can include Naoya Inoue that time. But we all know that he is not stranger to this kind of test, so for sure he will welcome it and then crush the competitions like what he did at bantamweight division before becoming a champion, the hard way, the better for him, not like Inoue who is given like a jumpstart and will fight the champion in his first move in the 122 pounds.

[YuginKadoya]

He was stripped of the WBO bantamweight titles for using a sauna to cut down weight before a fight, but before this, he was a no-show during the official weigh-in because of gastritis well, he need to climb back up again from the bottom to prove himself once more, and because this is his fault in the 1st place he needs to earn that trust once again,

The World Boxing Organization, which had Casimero as its previous bantamweight champion, is also not kind. According to its December top fifteen rating update, there is no Casimero. With his victory over Akaho and the fact that he has won titles in a variety of divisions, Casimero is still not listed in any major boxing organizations. If this man wanted to get a rating, he needs to keep fighting for the next months.  He can fight four times next year if becoming mandatory is the only way to get noticed by the champions. That will be impressive enough to compete against any champion the following year.

He really needs to push through that 4 fights per year if he wants to catch up again with Naoya Inoue, and surely John Riel Casimero's style in boxing is Unorthodox and you will think that he doesn't have any guard at all because in all cases his guard was always down and the only defense he got was his foot work, but in case of Naoya Inoue his reflexes should be fast enough to evade Inoue's punches because right now Naoya Inoue got lighting fast punches, so he needs to be careful about this so for me it is better to focus on building up himself 1st before taking on The Monster,

[btc_angela]

^^ 4 fights per year might be too much for Casimero or any boxer, he is not getting any younger, so he needs to be selective on how he is going to fight next in his new division.

And probably he is not rated because his fight with Akaho is not sanctioned by any boxing organizations, so he is not recognized with that win. So although the fight was turn from NC to KO in his record, it doesn't have any bearing. That's why we said that he need to climb back the hard way again, just like what he did when he become a champion in 118 lbs. He went to title eliminator, Ricardo Franco for the interim belt, defend it against Cesar Ramirez in the Philippines then beat Zolani Tete for the regular belt. So I think he can do it again in super bantamweight.

[harizen]

^^ 4 fights per year might be too much for Casimero or any boxer, he is not getting any younger, so he needs to be selective on how he is going to fight next in his new division.

Kidding aside, not that 4 fights per year but as long as his camp is able to secure a fight with a tough opponent and boxer with a good rank, for sure Casimero will likely be eligible again to face a World Champion. Again, just do his best to always win his next fight to gain attention.

As far as recent reports are concerned, Casimero's camp is trying to make an attempt to fight former Mexican former two-division world champion, Luis Nery. Let's see how it will go. That's a good pick.

What I'm thinking before is that Inoue or Bob Arum might chose Casimero as Inoue's foe in his debut at 122 lbs. but I guess that won't be happening this time because speculations shows that the WBO super champion will go directly against Fulton.

Even with no plans on taking Fulton directly once Inoue moved up, still impossible for Bob Arum to consider Casimero, in its current state, as a better opponent for the so-called Japanese monster. Arum strongly believes that Inoue is untouchable and for him to consider Casimero, Quadro Alas should just shut down all his next opponents to make some noise.

Yes, 4 fight a year is not viable for any fighter in this decade to do, hehehe, 2 fights year will do for him, just tough opponents so that he will be recognized. Oh Luis Nery, that was his target way back when he was still a champion back then at 118 lbs. They have been trash talking, way back before Casimero calls Inoue or even Donaire for that matter. So it's a good choice of fight for Casimero next and for sure, they will take this personal, sort of to fuel their old rivalry back in the days.

Don't expect something big will happen to Casimero right away, he is just testing this new division, choosing Akaho as a sort of welcoming fight for him. And yes, he won't get the same treatment as Inoue because Naoya is one of the cash cow and pound for pound. And so like we say, he needs to climb back the ladder, go back to zero, fight contender first because he will be recognized by any of those ABC bodies and put him on their rankings. If Casimero is looking for a contender like Luis Nery, it will be a long shot for him since Nery is the #1 contender by the WBC. And for all we know that belt is being held by Fulton in which Inoue is targeting when he officially moves up to this division.

Luis Nery is one of the big names in the Bantamweight and Super Bantamweight divisions and if Casimero's camp will be able to set a deal successfully with the former Mexican champion, that's a good opportunity to build his ranking, of course only if he wins.

But I have a doubt that with the current status and rank of Luis Nery, will there be interest from his camp to negotiate with Casimero's camp, which is just starting his journey on the Super Bantamweight and has not been ranked til now?

Let's follow the plan of Casimero's camp.

He can do it if that same determination continue to inspire him in chasing the belt, though he will surely take a hard way as there are many good competitors who can block his way to earn that belt, we see him fight with Akaho, and for me his adjustment was completed from this new division, he just need to focus and continue winning each fight that will offer to him.

If Casimero is looking for a contender like Luis Nery, it will be a long shot for him since Nery is the #1 contender by the WBC. And for all we know that belt is being held by Fulton in which Inoue is targeting when he officially moves up to this division.

I might assume that Nery will not take that big risk knowing Casimero's capabilities, though it will depend from how both camps will negotiate we can't conclude since boxing is also a business, we never know if how much money would move Nery's camp to accept
if ever, Casimero's camp will bring them a deal.

[serjent05]

Even after the fact that Casimero had achieved titles in various divisions, the governing bodies are thinking that all of it was pointless because they are likely disappointed by what happened recently that led to the worse case scenario where Casimero had to be stripped by his belt. Now, he is back to zero where he have to make his name great again and climb throughout the ranks so that he will be given some points by the governing bodies to fight against the champion or to the mandatory challengers.

I might disagree with that. I'm sure that there's no such thing as top boxing councils and organizations thinking of disappointment.

It's just that Casimero is still not ranked up to be able to qualify for a much bigger fight. Simple as it is, he just needs to keep winning from now on and do everything to work on his rankings and soon, he will be eligible again to fight against top ranks or if fortunate, for another title bout.

Since Casimero started again from scratch, it will really take time for him to be in a discussion at the contender's table again but I'm sure he will be able to reach there soon. I'm biased with that expectation as part of being a long-time PH boxing enthusiast and there are reasons to be believed that it will happen.

I agree, but regardless politics do prevent boxers from fighting each other.  Just like the supposed to be fight of Inoue and Casimero, it has been scheduled but was canceled, then the next time it should happen, Arum requested for a cut of payment on both boxers, Inoue agreed but Casimero's camp delayed the decision waiting for Inoue to come to America first since the first time Casimero took months waiting for Inoue but Inoue did not come.  Casimero's camp does not refuse the pay cut but was surprised when Inoue came to America, the fight between Inoue and Moloney was scheduled.  So definitely politics do affect the matches in boxing.
