Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

^^ A lot of good fights indeed for this year. But it's hard to argue though for Inoue winning that coveted Boxer of the year nod against Crawford. Even Haney had a good year as well but they give the award to the Japanese.

Inoue deserves to win that award as he make his opponents look amateur, he simply just dominate unlike Haney and Crawford whom their opponent are really fighting with confidence. Inoue's opponent doesn't fight like that, they are only after for the money _{(most probably)} because when they are in the ring, all they can do is not to be careless so the fight will not end early, but eventually they still get KO in the end.

I think it's more about the opponent and how Inoue destroy them that got him the award for the Boxer of the year. And if I'm not mistaken, the Ring magazine is under the control of Oscar dela Hoya?

Not sure about the money though, I mean in those lower division is not that big, and maybe Inoue got the lion share on his fight against Fulton and Marlon Tapales as he is the A-side in that fight. But deserving though, him and Crawford could win that award and they are also the #1 and #2 p4p fighter right now.

yes it was owned by him. Well, regarding the opponents of Inoue, it's very clear that he destroyed them all. Although his opponents aren't engaging anymore but he is still finding ways to win, and that later in the fight they will knock him out, so it's really impressive on how he showed his ring IQ, quickness, and power.

Not sure about the money though, I mean in those lower division is not that big, and maybe Inoue got the lion share on his fight against Fulton and Marlon Tapales as he is the A-side in that fight. But deserving though, him and Crawford could win that award and they are also the #1 and #2 p4p fighter right now.

Obviously there's no much money in lower division  compared to the higher division. And also, Inoue keep fighting in Japan, so we can't expect he'll beat the numbers that the greatest boxers had achieve during their pro, like Pacman and Mayweather.

January 13, 2024. Videotron Center in Quebec City, Canada.
MAIN EVENT:
Artur Beterbiev versus Callum Smith - fighting for IBF, WBC and WBO light-heavyweight titles
Here are the odds for the fight.
Beterbiev - | Win @1.23 | By KO @1.50 | By Decision @4.60 |

Smith - | Win @3.95 | By KO @7.20 | By Decision @7.00 |
Obviously, Smith is a heavy underdog in this fight, might as well just take that "By KO" for Beterbiev because there's a high chance it will happen especially in the light heavyweight division.

Next is.
Jason Moloney versus Saul Sanchez - who are fighting for the WBO bantamweight title
Here are the odds.
Moloney - | Win @1.26 | By KO @3.65 | By Decision @1.70 |

Sanchez - | Win @3.60 | By KO @6.00 | By Decision @7.40 |
Moloney, I do remember he beat Vincent Astrolabia with a major decision. Well, that's why the "By Decision" bet was so low. I guess I am taking that.

Place your bets early guys, you might miss it. So who are your picks?

With how the award has been given, maybe Inoue's name is more hype compared with Crawford, but in terms of opponents I'm pretty
sure that Spence Jr is heavier than Tapales and Fulton right? Hahaha

But, there's always a criteria and there's always influenced that matter, if they feel that Inoue is more deserving, then they gave it to him.

Crawford just need to continue and who knows, next ediion might be his time.

In terms of opposition though, I think Crawford is far known to the boxing community and specially on how he beat up one of the best boxer and in the top 3 of pound for pound list which is Spence. Tapales and Fulton is not even in the top 10 of that list and yet Ring magazine give more weight for Inoue's win against those.

But for me Spence should be awarded. They will have a rematch this year and most likely it will be another explosive fight and maybe this time if Crawford beat Spence again then he could be 2024's boxer of the year.

-snip-

Yeah, people think that he's such an arrogant guy but they don't know that it could just be his appearance on his stance and videos to make people more angry at him and for him to chase the clout. I also seen people say that he can beat Inoue.

But just as the other fighters that have fought Inoue, good luck to him and prove it on the ring.

Good and Bad Publicity is surely good for the upcoming fight and John Riel Casimero knows this it will surely hype the fight even more, so yeah many would be curious about the fight the people will then want to watch it, and people that are solid fans of Casimero, people that are a solid fan of Inoue, and people that are mad over Casimero and vice versa mad on Inoue, they will surely go and watch the fight because they are curious and want to support whoever will win or lose, for sure if Casimero would lose aswell just like what happen to Donaire, Dasmariñas, and Tapales then it will be bad for Casimero's Career,

-snip-

We've seen bunch of fighters that were good at barking but I understand why they've done that, so that there will be more fans that shall watch their fight and more tickets sold.

On this level of Inoue, it's just hard to think on how he can be beaten honestly.

It was all for a publicity stunt and sure John Riel Casimero knew what he was doing this was to hype the fight for sure, whether this was to get Naoya Inoue's attention sure all Casimero was doing was if he could get that fight he would surely hype it, and pretty much I am now curious aswell if he can do a better job than Donaire and Tapales, he would release another statement that he still wants to face Naoya Inoue and after Naoya's mandatory fight with Luis Nery and after that he says that their fight is good to go if Naoya Inoue camp still wants it,

[Jating]

^^ For sure, Casimero is going after Inoue but he has to wait, and all he can do right now is call him through his social media accounts and it's obvious that it's just for publicity stunt as he knows that his time is running out.

Inoue is scheduled to fight Nery and then another boxer that Tapales has beaten already. And only after that Casimero might get his chance, but still up to Inoue as Casimero's name is somewhat in the middle as far as super bantamweight goes as he is no longer a champion, so he has no leverage but to create a hype and call Inoue in his social media for publicity.

[Distinctin]

^^ For sure, Casimero is going after Inoue but he has to wait, and all he can do right now is call him through his social media accounts and it's obvious that it's just for publicity stunt as he knows that his time is running out.

I think Casimero deserve to fight against Inoue, if not only beacuse of the ranking of Casimero, he for sure is the best opponent of Inoue that could potentially beat the Beast. We all know what happen to Casimero, he didn't lose to a fighter, he just made a mistake that's why he was stripped with his belt. So with that, I still think that Casimero is still a dangerous fighter that's why Inoue can't say yes to him.

Next could be Akhmadaliev as he is next in line, but who knows, if Inoue will skip him after Nery, the better, it's good for boxing, as no one would watch Inoue fighting a boxer that was already defeated by a champ he recently defeated. Inoue- Casimero, is more interesting to watch.

If Casimero really has an influence and can have positive impact on Inoue efforts to get more titles then it is possible that their fight will really be hot fight.
But this still looks quite unlikely because Inoue has target of getting an opponent who could have much greater influence on his achievements.

Inoue is scheduled to fight Nery and then another boxer that Tapales has beaten already. And only after that Casimero might get his chance, but still up to Inoue as Casimero's name is somewhat in the middle as far as super bantamweight goes as he is no longer a champion, so he has no leverage but to create a hype and call Inoue in his social media for publicity.

Inoue will indeed face Nery and of course Nery will be much more dangerous than Tapales, this will be more difficult fight for Inoue.
It just that we don't know whether after the fight against Nery there will be an opportunity for meeting between Inoue and Casimero because there is possibility that Inoue could move up to featherweight and fight great fighters there such as Rey Vargas and Luis Lopez.
I think Casimero chance of meeting Inoue depends on the outcome of Inoue fight against Nery.

casimero is not a big boxer and not a top boxer. and only from the philippines not the USA. so it will be difficult to fight inoue. not because of his boxing quality but promoters need big names so that their boxing events can generate large profits and a lot. if inoue is of course whoever the opponent is offered by the promoter must be served. if the promoter doesn't want it, it's hard for a fight to happen.

Yes, it depends on the promoter but I disagree with you about Casimero not a top boxer, only popular in the Philippines, not in the US. Even Inoue is not popular in US since most of his fights are in Japan, but if you care to look at Casimero's record, you will see that he had been in many country to challenge their champion, that's why he is called a road warrior.

As per record, Casimero has more fights in US/Europe than Inoue.

lol . not a Big boxer? have you tried checking his records? or you are just relying in what you are reading in the news in your country? and how come that you said he is not popular in USA and just in the Philippines ? have not you seen his fights recently  that he is fighting against champion from other countries? that means he is not just popular in the philippines bit also in other countries though you are correct not that popular in USA , but promoters knows whom they will blend to fight and I think casimero is one of the names that will face Inoue any time soon.

Inoue lost his position and I think Nery and Akhmadaliev deserves the number 1 and number 2 spot as the next opponent of of Naoya.

I don't think that Inoue can skip Akhmadaliev as he is the mandatory for one of the belts that Inoue hold. Remember that Tapales took that belt away from Akhmadaliev, so the line goes to Akhmadaliev and that's why he is the next in line.

As as we have discussed, Casimero needs a impressive win in his next fight.

He used to be the WBO bantamweight champion of the world, so he at some point in his career a top boxer and and elite one. The problem started with Inoue when he can't make the weight of 118 lbs and so he was stripped of the belt. He has been campaigning around the world not just in the US so he is well known. He is supposed to defend that belt in UK before he was stripped.

So I disagree with how you say that Casimero is not a big boxer or not well-known. Him and Inoue should have fought in 118 lbs if not for the weight issues. And so since both of them are in the superbantamweight of 122 lbs now, there is a potential that can can face each other finally.

And for a gambler perspective Casimero is a good fighter to challenge Inoue, though it will going to depend from how the promoters will push that possibility to engage into a negotiation against Inoue, but as of this moment there are more fighters who are also willing to challenge Inoue, fighters who also taking their time to have that chance.

It's on Inoue's camp to work out to whoever side they will choose for the next fight for Inoue, we just need to wait for any update and announcement from his camp.

Inoue will be fighting Nery, the number 1 challenger this May.

Naoya Inoue vs Luis Nery reportedly agreed for May in Tokyo

The speculation now is who will be nexst in line, will it be Casimero or another boxer that has a better ranking than him? I know there are a lot of Filipino fans here, we are so bias when it come to our fight, we want Casimero to have a chance to fight Inoue, but as you said, that depends on the promoter.

For sure I want to see if John Riel Casimero is telling the truth and if he can really beat Naoya Inoue or if it is just all bark, but for sure it is still promising to see what he can really do inside the ring with Naoya Inoue, for sure John Riel Casimero is already readying something in advance so yeah Casimero don't really holds anything as he doesn't have the champion that Naoya Inoue needed, for sure he can let Casimero Slip by, but what Casimero is holding dear was their last fight that was canceled,

I think Casimero deserve to fight against Inoue, if not only beacuse of the ranking of Casimero, he for sure is the best opponent of Inoue that could potentially beat the Beast. We all know what happen to Casimero, he didn't lose to a fighter, he just made a mistake that's why he was stripped with his belt. So with that, I still think that Casimero is still a dangerous fighter that's why Inoue can't say yes to him.

For sure many want to see that fight and I also do, but Sadly Naoya Inoue can ignore Casimero and go for the other title belts for sure the word deserving is likely can be put to him, but do you think even if he deserves a fight doesn't mean that Naoya Inoue will not say no to this, because he surely can, but don't get me wrong Casimero is surely a dangerous fighter that is why the camp of Inoue doesn't want to risk it on him because there are other title fights that need to be get, and it is just a waste of time for them to give it to Casimero, for sure John Riel Casimero was right for giving Inoue the name Japanese Turtle,


Artur Beterbiev VS Callum Smith

Have you just seen this fight, it was a one-sided fight as Artur Beterbiev devastated the fighter that is never been knockout, Callum Smith it was a really fierce fight for sure Artur Beterbiev sent a devastating blow to Callum Smith truly you must see the match on the 1st round Beterbiev just let out a blitz of punches on Smith and you can hear the sound of his heavy punch, hitting Smith, it was brutal,

[Kemarit]

^^ It was one sided fight for Arthur Beterbiev over Callum Smith, Smith though fight valiantly, but Beterbiev is too much for him that he wasn't able to take advantage of his height and reach against the shorter Beterbiev. And then he eat a lot of punches,

Beterbiev’s promoter, Bob Arum, indicated that a potential full unification bout between his charge and Dmitry Bivol, the WBA titlist, could materialize later this year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Arum said there was strong interest in that matchup from Turki Alalsihkh, the head of Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Entertainment, a body that oversees some of the oil-producing country’s most significant cultural events, including Riyadh Season.

https://www.boxingscene.com/bob-arum-optimistic-beterbiev-bivol-happen-expects-saudi-arabia-stage-it-summer--180730

So it's good to hear that Saudi is very interested to see the Bivol vs Beterbiev unification fight. And we all know that if this rich oil nation wanted it, definitely money is not going to be a problem as long as they can make the fight happen in their country in Riyadh Season. Most likely we will see this huge fight at 175 lbs.

Callum Smith is really a tough nut to crack There were really a lot of shots he got from Artur Beterbiev but he is still standing tall and Beterbiev is a knockout artist for sure those shots that he gave to Smith were that impressive for him to be standing so this is a real feat for Artur Beterbiev to knockout Callum Smith because there still no boxer that knocks him like this, and the corner of Callum Smith had seen enough that they need to stop the match,

That was great news the Arab people really want to see some real action after the recent match of Dmitry Bivol against Lyndon Arthur, and not Artur Beterbiev's fight against Callum Smith they surely witnessed a master class fight so they are also curious why people want that fight to happen for sure this is something they are curious about aswell,

Will the money that the Saudis will offer be enough for WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán to allow a unification fight against Bivol without removing Beterbiev from his WBC light heavyweight championship? Is the war between Russia and Ukraine not anymore on Sulaimán's agenda?

I speculate that many boxing fans might predict this to be a victory for Beterbiev but the sportsbooks will list Bivol with very small odds heheheee.
