Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[jakelyson]

I don't think that Inoue is dodging Casimero, and if I'm not mistaken, they will should have set to collide for the unification fight it not for the weight issues Casimero had in the bantamweight division.

And now that both have move up in the same division again, maybe just a matter of time before they will have to fight.

However, it's not easy as it sounds, Casimero should go up and win at least a belt in this division before Inoue and him can face each other. Inoue is fighting for the belt next against Fulton so it's more on Inoue on control here.

I agree John Riel Casimero should at least get some decent fight before challenging Naoya Inoue, for sure Inoue will be at his highest peak here, while his opponent Fillipus Nghitumbwa I really think that John Riel Casimero got a hard time against Fillipus Nghitumbwa, for sure in my opinion he is not quite ready against Naoya Inoue,

Casimero is already 34, time is of the essence. He knows if not as early as possible, his age will not make him win a fight. Casimero will get worse every year that passes and eventually maybe after a few years, he himself will know whether he still can.

It's really bad not to see them step in the ring to fight against each other so that we know who is the real deal. But I guess, this is the thing we need to understand especially in the boxing industry because we all know who is avoiding here, and that's because they're just making things right for Inoue when he is dodging Casimero all these years. They cannot afford to take the high risk and they cannot gamble on Inoue's future because they're giving too much opportunity for Casimero just to get that fight to happen and when he luckily beat Inoue, he will surely take that credibility and merits and be the one who will become a star.

I don't think that Inoue is dodging Casimero, and if I'm not mistaken, they will should have set to collide for the unification fight it not for the weight issues Casimero had in the bantamweight division.

And now that both have move up in the same division again, maybe just a matter of time before they will have to fight.

However, it's not easy as it sounds, Casimero should go up and win at least a belt in this division before Inoue and him can face each other. Inoue is fighting for the belt next against Fulton so it's more on Inoue on control here.

Correct. There is no sense in looking at the past anymore and accusing someone about ducking someone because nobody have certainly prayed to have Covid-19 to wreck havoc into our world so that these two will not fight, so no, it's not like that.

Both John Riel Casimero and Naoya Inoue have agreed to face each other to a championship fight but few weeks after the announcement, an unfortunate thing happened where both camps agreed to reschedule the fight if Covid-19 will cease until they decided to cancel it because they don't know what will happen in the next few months.

and now that they are fighting on the same division, it is only a matter of time before they face each other. that is, if casimero will win more fights on this division and finally face inoue. also, if inoue will win on his upcoming fight. there's no coming back to where they were. so either casimero will take every fight seriously so as not to face any more issue like his weight issues or just pass the opportunity to fight inoue in this weight division.

No one expect that Nghitumbwa is one tough opponent.  Casimero did his best and even KD his opponent, it is that his opponent can receive his punches well.  Not because the opponent is unknown it will be easier for the known one to beat him.  Remember Manny Pacquiao is also unknown when he fight and beat Ledwaba.  I think Casimero is lucky because he intimidated his opponent early in the match giving him the chance to dictate the match.

When it comes to fighting against Inoue, I think Casimero is ready to fight Inoue way back 2 years ago.

Yeah, right, Nghitumbwa was determined to win as well. That's the reason why even Casimero dominated him. He continues
to stand and push the fight into the decision result.

I saw the replay and you will see how solid those combinations are and how good those punches that landed to Nghitumbwa, but he absorbs it
and continue to fight until the end of the rounds.

Casimero always wanted to have that chance to fight Inoue. I'm also expecting that if given a chance, he's always ready to accept it.

[cabron]

You still can consider it ducking when they don't wanna risk their zero loss. It was said they were about to fight if it weren't of covid. So whats making them say NO when Casimero keeps shouting about their fight.

Its always their excuse to say there is bigger risk for a champ with 0 loss. But he is the monster, he should fight well rounded boxers who are willing. Don't wait for a force mandatory from WBO for its gonna be more embarassing

Those who are following Casimero's journey will never forget how he wanted to fight Inoue, while Inoue's camp kept avoiding him. Well, if a mandatory fight is the only way, then I suppose Inoue should win a championship fight first, and then Casimero might have a chance.

Let's just wish they can accept the challenge as soon as Inoue recovers from his injury and finish the fight against Fulton. It's not that long plus recovery. I think 3-4 months after his fight they could make it happen. I think Casimero might have a better chance for it to happen when Inoue starts experiencing a loss. But when he gets the title from Fulton, they might avoid him again.

There's a title fight this 27th of May in Northern Ireland.
Edit: It's already shared by @jakelyson above.
I'll just share the odds instead.

Conlan is the favorite at @1.80 while Lopez is at @1.98
Conlan by KO - 6.20 by decision 2.24
Lopez by KO - 4.30 by decision 3.35
Lopez has a higher KO rate (27-15) than Conlan (18-9) so I guess that is why the odds differ when it comes to the favorite.

[YuginKadoya]

and now that they are fighting on the same division, it is only a matter of time before they face each other. that is, if casimero will win more fights on this division and finally face inoue. also, if inoue will win on his upcoming fight. there's no coming back to where they were. so either casimero will take every fight seriously so as not to face any more issue like his weight issues or just pass the opportunity to fight inoue in this weight division.

I really want to see John Riel Casimero fight Naoya Inoue but in my opinion, his fight with Fillipus Nghitumbwa is not really great at all, it is OK Fillipus Nghitumbwa is a real shocker at 1st glance he seems not a dangerous fighter but if that fight have turned in favor with Fillipus Nghitumbwa it could get ugly for Casimero, I want to see Casimero fight 2 more times and even get a belt in his division again before he can face Naoya Inoue, I just feel that he will not withstand punches from Inoue at all,

Yeah, right, Nghitumbwa was determined to win as well. That's the reason why even Casimero dominated him. He continues
to stand and push the fight into the decision result.

I saw the replay and you will see how solid those combinations are and how good those punches that landed to Nghitumbwa, but he absorbs it
and continue to fight until the end of the rounds.

Casimero always wanted to have that chance to fight Inoue. I'm also expecting that if given a chance, he's always ready to accept it.

For always  not backing down, I should say this is the right time to think before he accepts anything that Fillipus Nghitumbwa's fight was a real banger and it was like Casimero's power punches weren't really effective against Fillipus Nghitumbwa or Nghitumbwa surely has a good chin or a durable body that can withstand the damage, but surely we can not see the real reaction of Fillipus Nghitumbwa for saying that he can really withstand those punches,

Still a long way for both fighters. If mandatory might take place, then for sure it will be good news for all the fans who really love to see
both fighters are inside the same ring.

I like that possibility in where both fighters will not have any chance to decline the fight, though in this sport fighters still have that option to cancel the fight.

Hoping to see if the possibility will take place in between these two great fighters.

I bet a time like that will come soon and that Inoue will find himself again in the same position as before when they were still at the bantamweight and in this instance, Casimero might not be a champion yet but he is already much closer in-terms of the rankings and that gives him more chance to be picked for a mandatory fight for the championship belt holders.

[Slow death]

Casimero always wanted to have that chance to fight Inoue. I'm also expecting that if given a chance, he's always ready to accept it.

in my opinion at this moment Casimero should focus on improving himself first and then he can think about fighting Inoue, but for now the casemiro should get Inoue out of his mind, I had already commented on that before, boxing currently It's not just about fighting anymore, it's also about money, fight promoters try to organize fights that get a lot of attention so that they will make a lot of profit, and the casemiro had a big ladder on him that all he needed to do was climb quickly to the top. ladder that with that he would have a lot of attention from fight promoters, fighters and the whole marketing machine, but casemiro had difficulties in his last fight causing all the great expectations of many people to fall into that fight

for many people casemiro would win by a knockout, it was almost 100% guaranteed for many people and even guys who analyze fights on youtube had this great expectation, but during the fight people started to get real, casemiro was not overcoming his opponent a lot, and it was a fight that looked like his opponent was also a great former champion of some division and at the end of the fight most of the comments I could read didn't see the casemiro prepared to fight Inoue at that moment , which is why I very much doubt that Inoue's team is giving importance to the casemiro at this moment

Unless Fulton spoiled the chance, I mean Inoue needs to be a champ then Casimero might have that chance if his ranking will continue to rank up, once Inoue already holding the belt chances for the possible negotiation or mandatory between these two former 118lbs champ might take place, if destiny bring them together for sure it will be a good challenge between them.

Both want each other, though it will still depend on how promoters and handlers will negotiate to proceed with the possible scheduled.

There is a huge possibility for a Naoya Inoue VS John Riel Casimero to take place now that Casimero is in the same division as Inoue, the only thing that Casimero needs to do is secure a belt so Naoya Inoue will not have any alibi in not getting the fight

But my issue with Casimero does he know what he is doing. Is he ready to fight Naoya Inoue I think it is too early for him, I think he needs to make a fight 1st that his fans would say that there is no doubt that Naoya Inoue can not win against Casimero, because I am still seeing that Casimero is likely doesn't have a chance he must do something about this,

I bet a time like that will come soon and that Inoue will find himself again in the same position as before when they were still at the bantamweight and in this instance, Casimero might not be a champion yet but he is already much closer in-terms of the rankings and that gives him more chance to be picked for a mandatory fight for the championship belt holders.

I really wish John Riel Casimero can strike another champion in this division so if Casimero and Inoue's fight comes it will be one epic fight and this could surely produce a big event and PPV that will be remembered by all their fans and likely followers, I really love that idea, but it is up to John Riel Casimero if he just like Naoya Inoue as his opponent but this is what I see

Regardless though, if Casimero wanted to fight Inoue then he will have to:

a. fight again, but this time with a rank fighter
b. just ignore what Inoue will do in the future

So at least what Casimero has is that he has full control of his future. Whatever happens to Fulton vs Inoue remains to be seen. All he has to do is really break barrier in this 122 lbs and win a fight against a good boxer, like the likes of Akaho or Nghitumbwa (no offense to them).

Let's say Fulton spoils the chance and we have Inoue that just got defeated in his first fight at 122, (although I'm not hoping for that to happen) that is a much better way because Casimero's chances to face Inoue is likely to happen much sooner especially if Casimero will make another bout before this year ends so that his ranking will increase further until he will be inside the Top 3 to 5.

Other than that, Fulton have also said that he will leave the division regardless of the result and if it turns out that Inoue has been defeated. We might see Casimero and Inoue chasing for the belts that was vacated by Fulton as I know both of them is targeting those said belts in the first place.

Casimero has to stay active if it wants to get a title shot next year. He is not getting younger as well so he better stay focused on the remaining years of his career. There are only 2 champions in the division which make it more difficult for Casimero to get a title shot. Both champions are also keen on unifying each other. The IBF is expected to issue a mandatory probably next year and hopefully, the WBC won't make their own mandatory so Casimero still has time to become a mandatory, probably by the WBO. 

Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn the former promoter of Devin Haney might make a move to take him back to DAZN mentioning the names of 140 WBC champion Regis Prograis and GBP's Ryan Garcia as potential opponents inside the network. Jack Catterall is also another fighter Matchroom signed and will surely be in the mix.

4 title fights this weekend:
Matchroom/DAZN- Featherweight champ, Mauricio Lara (26-2-19 KOs) will defend his WBA belt against Leigh Wood (26-3-16 KOs) in a rematch.
Boxxer/Sky Sports(UK)- WBO cruiser champion Lawrence Okolie (19-0-14 KOs) defends his belt against Chris Billam-Smith (17-1-12 KOs).
Top Rank-Queensberry/ESPN-BT Sport(UK)- Luis Alberto Lopez's (27-2-15 KOs) first defense of his IBF belt against Michael Conlan (18-1-9 KOs).
Golden Boy Promotions/DAZN- Minimumweight champion Melvin Jerusalem's(20-2-12 KOs) first defense of his WBO belt against Oscar Collazo (6-0-4 KOs).

There is no need to worry about that because I bet Casimero already knew about his situation and the opportunity he can get if he continue to fight actively, thus, I believe that he will fight at least one more before this year ends because he needed to catch-up with the time he wasted and while his weight is not giving him any struggles. Soon enough!

Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn the former promoter of Devin Haney might make a move to take him back to DAZN mentioning the names of 140 WBC champion Regis Prograis and GBP's Ryan Garcia as potential opponents inside the network. Jack Catterall is also another fighter Matchroom signed and will surely be in the mix.

We don't know what's really next for now as there could be a rematch between Haney and Lomachenko because these promoters and organizers will surely take advantage while the people are calling for that fight unless Haney himself will avoid that. But if ever there will be no rematch, and if there will be no mandatory, maybe he will pick Shakur as these two have been in the headlines too for quite some time and they have their own rivalry way back in their amateur years.

[Maslate]

I don't think that Inoue is dodging Casimero, and if I'm not mistaken, they will should have set to collide for the unification fight it not for the weight issues Casimero had in the bantamweight division.

And now that both have move up in the same division again, maybe just a matter of time before they will have to fight.

However, it's not easy as it sounds, Casimero should go up and win at least a belt in this division before Inoue and him can face each other. Inoue is fighting for the belt next against Fulton so it's more on Inoue on control here.

I agree John Riel Casimero should at least get some decent fight before challenging Naoya Inoue, for sure Inoue will be at his highest peak here, while his opponent Fillipus Nghitumbwa I really think that John Riel Casimero got a hard time against Fillipus Nghitumbwa, for sure in my opinion he is not quite ready against Naoya Inoue,

No one expect that Nghitumbwa is one tough opponent.  Casimero did his best and even KD his opponent, it is that his opponent can receive his punches well.  Not because the opponent is unknown it will be easier for the known one to beat him.  Remember Manny Pacquiao is also unknown when he fight and beat Ledwaba.  I think Casimero is lucky because he intimidated his opponent early in the match giving him the chance to dictate the match.

When it comes to fighting against Inoue, I think Casimero is ready to fight Inoue way back 2 years ago.

Sad to say that I was one of the people who underestimated Filipus Nghitumbwa just because I leaned of the fact that he's unknown and assumed that he is not that strong which brings me back that this Filipus might just fight for survival just like what the Cuban boxer did, Rigondeau, that just wasted everybody's time by running in circles.
But Filipus proved me wrong and credits for him for that because he can definitely eat the Filipino boxer's punches and stay poised even if he was knocked down in the middle of their fight.

Fortunately, Casimero had a good fight which gave him a good experience here at super-bantam and hopefully he remains active and grab more fights this year while he can still make it because he definitely needed more fights to lift his name towards the top names and be a mandatory fighter someday.

[LUCKMCFLY]

If Ryan Garcia is able to maintain his distance and made his jobs and straight very effective, there is a huge chance for him to win the fight.  But we all know with how fast and quick Gervonta Davis is, it is quite hard for Ryan Garcia to execute such a strategy unless he can dance with Gervonta Davis and out-tempo him.  Ryan Garcia can protect his not-so-tough chin with the said strategy.

But still, everything is just an assumption, speculation, and prediction.  We still have to watch how the fight unfolds and in boxing, everything is uncertain until the match finishes.

I really think Gervonta Davis is pretty much aware of that strategy that the experience he built through his career will surely carry him to Victory there are some punches that may enter Gervonta's guard but I think that is what he likes for his counter to be very effective but Ryan Garcia has his ghost punch that Davis will need to look out for,

Safe to say that Gervonta Davis's camp is already aware of everything that could happen even before we had the chance to discuss it in here. I mean, all the possible scenarios that Ryan Garcia might execute are already expected by them and for them, what's new, this is not the first time for Davis to fight someone like Garcia who does have the power and even the size advantage.

They are both aware of each other's advantages so if Tank can do something about Ryan's reach and speed, he better be stealthy because it's not just him that has the experience.

Everyone will be watching this fight. Tank who had a long reign in the division almost no exciting boxer to be match to him in the division until Ryan. If in the politics of boxing, Ryan is set up to dethrone Tank. It's a risky bet but to make it 3x, a small amount will be fun.

The results could have been quite surprising for some, but for others they were logical, here what I like most about boxing is that despite the fact that it is a contact sport and that it has a lot to do with the strength with which you fight and the resistance at all times to withstand blows, because what predominates is intelligence, the most intelligent boxers are the ones who always win and what happened was that, the most intelligent one won and the other was surprised even though he had a great.

Not just boxing, but in all other sports, be in contact or non-contact, this athletes will really need to used their brain as well to win championship. Just like the great Vince Lombardi says, "inches make champions". So with everything is all equal, specially in strength department, you will need to think of something that will take you to become a champion.

And in this case, Tank Davis outsmart Ryan by seeing that one small opening in his body. And when he deliver that power shot in the ribs, it was all over as Garcia didn't anticipate than and you can't prepare for that brutal one body punch. Every one of them has fell because that is a vulnerable spot.

Whenever in Fútbol or boxing, even in any other sport, as I have said before, what he has to put in is a lot of brains, but here things can change when he not only puts in muscle and technique, the strategies in any sport are what will make us better than others, and intelligence will always be the prototype that will distinguish us all, as far as I am concerned, at least in boxing I like it better when a fight is not focused technically, because it seems boring, so don't take away the emotion from this.

I bet a time like that will come soon and that Inoue will find himself again in the same position as before when they were still at the bantamweight and in this instance, Casimero might not be a champion yet but he is already much closer in-terms of the rankings and that gives him more chance to be picked for a mandatory fight for the championship belt holders.

I really wish John Riel Casimero can strike another champion in this division so if Casimero and Inoue's fight comes it will be one epic fight and this could surely produce a big event and PPV that will be remembered by all their fans and likely followers, I really love that idea, but it is up to John Riel Casimero if he just like Naoya Inoue as his opponent but this is what I see

Casimero has to stay active if it wants to get a title shot next year. He is not getting younger as well so he better stay focused on the remaining years of his career. There are only 2 champions in the division which make it more difficult for Casimero to get a title shot. Both champions are also keen on unifying each other. The IBF is expected to issue a mandatory probably next year and hopefully, the WBC won't make their own mandatory so Casimero still has time to become a mandatory, probably by the WBO. 

Yeah, stay active and fight decent fighters in the ranking. He is also not getting any younger so his next fight should be with WBO. He organization love this guy so most likely he will be given a mandatory fight next year assuming he stays active.

Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn the former promoter of Devin Haney might make a move to take him back to DAZN mentioning the names of 140 WBC champion Regis Prograis and GBP's Ryan Garcia as potential opponents inside the network. Jack Catterall is also another fighter Matchroom signed and will surely be in the mix.

This is Haney's last fight with Top Rank and most likely he will move up to 140 lbs. Although there is a enticing fight with Shakur Stevenson. But Shakur is under Top Rank. So let's see what will be the Haney's next move.

4 title fights this weekend:
Matchroom/DAZN- Featherweight champ, Mauricio Lara (26-2-19 KOs) will defend his WBA belt against Leigh Wood (26-3-16 KOs) in a rematch.
Boxxer/Sky Sports(UK)- WBO cruiser champion Lawrence Okolie (19-0-14 KOs) defends his belt against Chris Billam-Smith (17-1-12 KOs).
Top Rank-Queensberry/ESPN-BT Sport(UK)- Luis Alberto Lopez's (27-2-15 KOs) first defense of his IBF belt against Michael Conlan (18-1-9 KOs).
Golden Boy Promotions/DAZN- Minimumweight champion Melvin Jerusalem's(20-2-12 KOs) first defense of his WBO belt against Oscar Collazo (6-0-4 KOs).

Oh so this is Melvin's first defense of his title. So this is against a Puerto, this could be a banger and hopefully Melvin retains his belt.
