[Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3

[lionheart78]

Looking at the poll, there is a user here who voted for Ryo Akaho? Who are you and why did you choose him? Nah, just joking!

I'm just glad to see that there's someone here who is in favor to the Japanese boxer and not John Riel Casimero, surprising enough but it is a good thing though because this means that there is indeed a competition here. Though I'm just not sure if he can really make some difference here because I'm seeing this Ryo as a local boxer which is kinda different to Casimero's league who is fighting in the mainstream.

Of course, that's why we have some times kinds of unexpected events where we see an upset because the supposed boxer will dominate his opponent is taking a lot of damage and is mostly stunned by an underdog opponent. This is a sport and with enough practice and skill to adapt to how to counter his opponents throughout the rounds will gonna his ace to win the fight. Casimero should not underestimate his opponent because he hasn't been in the ring for a long time and he might be caught by a surprise.

I agree, idling for too long somehow made one's skill a bit rusty.  This is probably one of the reasons why Casimero's camp pick a less popular and somehow on the end of its prime boxer.  And yes, Casimero should not underestimate Akaho because Akaho has a 60% knockout on his record.  This means Akaho is a hard puncher which can render Casimero kissing the canvas if Casimer become cocky and careless.

In contrast with Casimero, he is known to be messing with the other boxers to make some hype or to trigger them to make things much easier for him because he is already messed up in the head. But yes, Casimero is not the kind who boast, he just wanted to talk like that because that is his way.

There is a reason behind Casimero's antiques I just can find the video link when he reasons about him trash-talking his opponents. He found out that being quiet will not get the audience's attention and will not make him talk of the newspapers and social media.  So the moment he learned that he needs to brag and at least have a bad boy image to be able for the mainstream media to take notice of him, he starts trash-talking and showboating which can be misunderstood as disrespecting his opponent.

Yes, it's called ring rust, when boxers is gone for so long from the ring, somewhat they become a bit rusty. There are great boxers who can just shake this off in a couple of rounds and be back. But most of the time even good boxers need more rounds to acclimatized themselves again inside the ring, with their power and timing and this is what Casimero is doing here.

Another reason is that is a new division for him, so he just can't fight a higher rank fighter.

He needs someone like Akaho, who is good in paper but probably he can beat to be his opponents, to bring back his confidence and make himself accustomed to the weight and see how he can absorb the power.

But most of the time even good boxers need more rounds to acclimatized themselves again inside the ring, with their power and timing and this is what Casimero is doing here.

I think one of the good example of this so-called ring rust is the fight between Teofimo Lopez and Vasily Lomachenco where Lomachenco was out of the ring for too long that he started really slow during the fight.  When all his ring rust is removed, it is too late for Lomachengco to win the fight.  Another example is Tete after a year of rest from his injury and got a mandatory fight against Casimero.  Zolani Tete was caught by surprise and was unable to adjust costing him the fight.  Tete was KO'ed by Casimero on that fight.

Another reason is that is a new division for him, so he just can't fight a higher rank fighter.

I think that works in his favor.  Casimer need to tune up on his new Division so I think having Akaho as his first opponent in the division is a good thing.  Tough but not explosive fighter.

He needs someone like Akaho, who is good in paper but probably he can beat to be his opponents, to bring back his confidence and make himself accustomed to the weight and see how he can absorb the power.

I agree, I also think that Casimero is the better boxer of the two and we might be in for a treat here since it looks like Casimero is well prepared on this fight.

[passwordnow]

So this happens first a few days before Pacquiao and DK Yoo's exhibition match.

I agree, I also think that Casimero is the better boxer of the two and we might be in for a treat here since it looks like Casimero is well prepared on this fight.

I'll say the same thing because I only know more about Casimero but with Akaho, looking at his stats it's impressive too. Whoever is the most disciplined in this match will win and that's for sure. I'll need to watch some fights of Akaho because his stats really impressed me.

[Fredomago]

I believe he needs to fight more boxers and even a rematch with Tete and beat him.  That maybe put Casimero to the ranking again.

Did you mean Zolani Tete? Casimero won via TKO against him on 2019, I don't think there's much hype of boxing fans want a rematch between Casimero vs Tete. Casimero need to challenge a champion if he want to gain his popularity, right now either Casimero and Akaho are still unknown boxer out there.

I agree, a KO is a good win, or a dominating performance that will give him a mile score in UD if the fight lasted till the final round.

I doubt he can win via KO, his previous match against Guillermo Rigondeaux is really close, although he still win via split decision.

I understand that there's too many questions up in our mind that needs answer, currently, all we can do is wait for Casimero to finish his bout against Ryo Akaho and after that maybe we can get some answers to it. It seems impossible to do but Casimero in the bantamweight is already an old news because he is now entering the super-bantam, so it's pretty much better if we just forget what he did in that division because he is now starting from the bottom again.

Correct, he is now moving forward so whatever it is from his previous division should be left on that division and let him do the process from the bottom and see if he can achieved from this chosen path, who knows maybe his promoters will manage to bring him more money fight after Akaho.

We should wait if what preparation he did from this fight and how he can throw those solid punches once Akaho engaged to a toe-to-toe confrontation.

Knowing Casimero, he also has that killer KO combo punches, if he will be given a chance, we might see him throwing those and see if Akaho will kiss the canvass.

[harizen]

This is probably one of the reasons why Casimero's camp pick a less popular and somehow on the end of its prime boxer. 

I think they didn't do some cherry-pick here because, in the first place, Casimero is not yet eligible to face the current Top 10 and promoters might not be interested in doing so. Since Akaho is currently on a winning streak against PH Boxers, it's an opportunity for him to defeat again another PH boxer although Casimero is on a different level as he is a former world champion in the Bantamweight.

Moving forward, a fight at 122 lbs shouldn't be a problem for Casimero as that was his usual weight now. The fight will take place in the upcoming weekend and we will now witness if Casimero can still be deadly in the ring after being on hiatus for over a year.

[Viscore]

We also have to consider the quality of opponents Casimero has face in the past as compare to Akaho.

Akaho has failed in this two world championship attempts, while Casimero has been tearing the bantamweight leading to the failed fight against Paul Butler. And John Riel is the younger of the two, the road warrior but obviously the experience goes to Akaho as he has been professional boxers for 17 years as to Casimero's 15. But again as I have said, the key difference is the opponents that they have fought and so I think this is the big advantage for John Riel Casimero to win impressively.

Akaho has real more advantage than Casimero when it comes to boxing experience, but that won’t be a sole guarantee that Casimero is now the underdog. Aside from he’s younger than his opponent, Casimero has shown already he’s being ring smart and got his sense of timing and distance in a ring. So if Casimero will be able to perform skillfully in the ring, regardless how experienced Akaho is, surely Casimero will always be declare as the winner.

[goinmerry]

In terms of experienced, I think Casimero does have a greater weight compared to Akaho.

Casimero becomes a champion at 118 lbs while Akaho doesn't have any good achievements at 122 lbs. There are not many differences in fighting at 118 lbs and 122 lbs that's why it's clear that Casimero owns every advantage here in this fight.

The only problem on the side of Casimero is ring rust which I think he can surely address on the day of the fight.

As to number of fights, Akaho has better experience because he has 39 fights which is higher than the total fights of Casimero, however, we should look at the quality of opponents here and certainly Casimero has the advantage in terms of opponents he beat. This isn't really a hype fight as Casimero is popular while Akaho is just an ordinary boxer, however, Casimero should not underestimate his opponent.

He should not and he should focus on how he can beat Akaho. Experienced most of the time gives the advantage for the fighter, but your point is also valid. Casimero is not an ordinary fighter who moves to this new division.

He was a former champ, though he was stripped and that won't fit to his resume under this new division but the fighting skills and the IQ that also
counts in terms of boxing.

He can use that as a counter advantage against Akaho. Both will show their skills and capabilities, but only one will win the fight.

[Vaculin]

Right, if he wants to keep his name of top of this new division, he should come in with a bang, so his goal is to really win by a knockout. And that is what known from Casimero, so arrogant and brandish that you hate him sometimes but he delivered the goods when he was at the bantamweight, it just he fell short of fighting Butler or Inoue.

But since he move up to super bantamweight, he need to be impressive and just not just a ordinary win because he is not a ordinary boxer. He has the talent and the boxer and I think he can regain back, at least one title in 122 lbs will do good for him.

Yes, I certainly agree about that. People still loved him even if he's foul mouthed some times because he can always prove that he can do what he has been talking about, but these days, people are curious about him because this ain't the Casimero they knew as the entire camp is now silent and no one is throwing some words at each other's camp.

The fight is near now, I hope Casimero can deliver a good message this time and announce it publicly that he is indeed back to make business, now in the super-bantamweight division.

That is because Akaho never retaliate on the trash talk of Casimero.  there is even a video clip where Casimero is somhow annoyed that Akaho do not trash talk his opponent.  Since Casimero is trying to hype the fight via trash-talk, his attempt to hype the fight failed because Akaho did not participate.[1]    Remember in boxing, it takes two to tango so Casimero is kinda annoyed when Akaho did not agree to trash talk with him.

The fight is near now, I hope Casimero can deliver a good message this time and announce it publicly that he is indeed back to make business, now in the super-bantamweight division.

Yeah, just a couple of day from now, we will know the result of our assumptions and speculation.  I wanted Casimero to win via KO but of course, we want both boxers to be safe after the fight.

as casimero wants to redeem himself, he should not really take this fight for granted. remember the fights that didn't pursue because of his weight issues, now, that he moves up to a higher weight division, he should not give anymore excuses to delay or pause the fight. he doesn't have much time to make another excuse as he is also battling with time. inoue is already far away from his reach, where he previously was chasing after to fight with.

Just as you pointed out, quality over quantity. Even with lots of official fights compared to Casimero, Akaho faced mostly non-popular boxers and he doesn't experience much fighting in a big title match. Although it's really impressive that from his 39 fights, 26 of those are won thru Knockout. Not bad for

Checking all Akaho's previous opponents, no one might not be in the same league as Casimero. Not overhyping Casimero because he's my countryman but just stating some good facts. Akaho might be the underdog here but I hoped he can give Casimero a difficult match.

[bisdak40]

Maybe Akaho's personality is not a trash-talking type which is why he chose not to engage in a word war with Casimero which is a good thing also because most of the Japanese boxers are not known with that type or at least I have not known one.

Hyped or not this fight will go as planned as this is not a big fight that the boxing community anticipates, i mean this is just another fight that the Korean promoters want to stage to add entertainment to their casino but also a must-win for Casimero.

Few days left before the fight but still i have not seen the odds for this fight, excited to see who is the favorite and to what extent.

Yes, the odds are still not out even on some boxing analysis-related websites.

And as usual, in crypto bookies, we can expect this fight to be listed at least a day or two before the official fight date. But I'm thinking if is there any possibility that this fight won't be listed in crypto bookies? I just think of it now because in the past, where PH boxers are involved even in a big title match e.g Magsayo vs Gary Russell Jr., Casimero vs Rigondeaux, etc. even how big the event is, they were just listed a day before the right. Since this fight between Casimero and Akaho doesn't really have an impact, might not be considered listed by crypto-bookies.

Of course, just my guess.

Of course, just my guess.

Yes, obviously this fight is going to be listed 24 hours before the actual fight, I don't want to speculate here specially it involved PH boxers.

I will just say that maybe there is no hype in this fight or any other fights that PH boxer is involved, that's why the odds are not released early. And it's on a lower class, usually this fight doesn't get the usual love from any betting sites unless it's really hype name involved.

So we will wait mate, probably it's Casimero that will be the favorite but we are all looking forward to maybe what will be the odds on the under/over rounds and KO.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Poll would not lie, Casimero got 96.3% of the total votes here, so it's very obvious that most of us here believe that Casimero will win. Actually, I don't believe that when a boxer is inactive he will not be the same, because if a boxer that is inactive were active in the gym practicing, there should be no changes on his conditioning, Casimero was only inactive in professional sports but I'm pretty sure he keeps himself in shape all the time.

Maybe the poll was influenced by the fact that many users who read this thread were compatriots of Casimero like myself but in reality, though Quadro Alas has the advantage in this fight though the odds are not released yet but there's a big chance that Casimero would be the huge favorite in this fight.

Casimero is out of the ring for quite some time now so ring rust might be an issue but considering that this is a comeback fight and a must-win for him, he will do whatever it takes to take the W at the end of 12 rounds if this would go the distance.

Whether Casimero would be the favorite or not then people cant really just easily tell that this is a walk in the park kind of fight for him, if we do look out on statistics of Akaho then he's more far experienced
than with Casimero but if you do look up on its history of fights then it is mostly done on his local. I havent seen this guy on how he fights and i might be considering on watching up some replays
and vids in relation to this and do make out some comparison and tell up on how these fighters or boxers do really fight or simply how good they are on technical plus
that endurance and of course in overall power.

We don't know the capabilities of Casimero's opponent unless we see them fighting inside the same ring, all opinions and speculation are base to how people interact with both fighters, just like what you mentioned Akaho is more experienced than Casimero as they will going to fight in his division, even Casimero is a former champ but with this new division he is new and he needs to take that risk bringing everything in these upcoming fight.

If you really wanted to analyze the fighter, you need to watch those replays and assess if which fighters have a greater chance of winning the fight.

If that is a great way to be able to study the opinion, in fact when a boxer focuses on what things he does more often it is possible to find out what the fighter can come out at a given moment, in the case of Casimero he can study all the videos They can be used by Akhao, but I think that Akaho can change his strategy and his way of fighting very quickly, something that I have noticed in Akaho is that he always changes his way of facing his opponents, the style can be the same, but the combinations he applies are different and I think he takes into account the physicality of the opponent and takes into account what he can possibly do, he is a very calculating boxer.


I don't know if you have noticed that style that Akaho has, or maybe I look at things that not everyone looks for, I see it from the point of view more focused on technique.

Experienced really matters and we know Akaho's resume, if you noticed that kind of strategy from him maybe because he really have it inside him, adopting and adjusting with how his opponent's will try to take him, I also believe that instinct inside each fighters most the time help them to develop skills during the fight, if the plan seems not to be working they will adjust and keep finding ways on how they will make the tempo favorable in their side.

We will only know whose strategy will work when they already delivering it and when they execute it the right way.

Well Akaho's technique is very good, he is a boxer who is not very famous, really when he compares or fights against Casimero I think Casimero is more famous than him, however it is as I have always said, in boxing any thing can happen, ´for me a boxer can make a difference in any eventuality and his training is something that can always make a difference anywhere, in these fights the one who has the most to lose is Casimero, he wants and needs to win this fight , now he got into an 11-bullet shirt, because he already challenged Inoue, and that became the moral level of winning no matter what.

Few days left before the fight but still i have not seen the odds for this fight, excited to see who is the favorite and to what extent.

Yes, the odds are still not out even on some boxing analysis-related websites.

And as usual, in crypto bookies, we can expect this fight to be listed at least a day or two before the official fight date.

So we will wait mate, probably it's Casimero that will be the favorite but we are all looking forward to maybe what will be the odds on the under/over rounds and KO.

Well, I also think that Casimero could be the favorite, there are some boxing forums, under which I read them almost every day, and many Latinos obviously go to Casimero, Akaho is a boxer who can offer a very different style from that of Casimero, obviously what it could be that Casimero is very careful because I think that the one who has the most to lose here for anything is him, from Akaho, as he had said before, he felt very underestimated, because Casimero said that he wanted to after this fight, going for Inoue, practically what he did was say that he would win easily without effort, I think he got into a little trouble.

Maybe on the day of the fight we will see available odd from the bookies, so far there's no available yet and like you mentioned the recognition on the international world might not be appealing that's why bookies is not providing early odds for this upcoming fight, Casimero might be a star but in this new division, he just a beginner and Akaho is not that well-known so there are just few gamblers who are waiting for this betting odds.

[Kelvinid]

In terms of experienced, I think Casimero does have a greater weight compared to Akaho.

Casimero becomes a champion at 118 lbs while Akaho doesn't have any good achievements at 122 lbs. There are not many differences in fighting at 118 lbs and 122 lbs that's why it's clear that Casimero owns every advantage here in this fight.

The only problem on the side of Casimero is ring rust which I think he can surely address on the day of the fight.

As to number of fights, Akaho has better experience because he has 39 fights which is higher than the total fights of Casimero, however, we should look at the quality of opponents here and certainly Casimero has the advantage in terms of opponents he beat. This isn't really a hype fight as Casimero is popular while Akaho is just an ordinary boxer, however, Casimero should not underestimate his opponent.

as casimero wants to redeem himself, he should not really take this fight for granted. remember the fights that didn't pursue because of his weight issues, now, that he moves up to a higher weight division, he should not give anymore excuses to delay or pause the fight. he doesn't have much time to make another excuse as he is also battling with time. inoue is already far away from his reach, where he previously was chasing after to fight with.

It's gonna be his last chance, if he is not going to show up here then there's no way he can come back of being a champion. It's very simple, not beating non-champion makes him have no chance of beating a champion. Akaho is not a popular boxer, spectators might think it's just an easy fight for him, but he should be calm, don't talk too much trash-talk, just wait for his time to prove that he deserve to be a champion.
