[Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3

[Gosgosking]

The fight won't be easy for the both fight,  the two men are strong fighters. The issue akaho has  is age, I don't know if age will a bareer for him not to be able to fight this fight.  Casimero is another rough fighter that I know he can challenge Akaho in this fight. I would like to see casimero how he will fight this match .

[lionheart78]

Browsing Akaho's boxing records I found out that Akaho had beaten 5 Filipino via KO including his latest fight against Edrin Dapudong.  This Japanese boxer sounds like a Pinoy executioner, so it is quite interesting to see whether Casimero can break this streak of Akaho beating Filipino boxers.

I would like to see casimero how he will fight this match .

There isn't much of an age gap here since Casimero is only 3 years old younger than Akaho, I also think that Akaho, at 36, is still at his prime since his latest 2 fights which happened this year gave him a win 1 UD, and the latest, against a Filipino boxer, a KO win.

Casimero has no room for losing this match. If he loses here, I think it's better to just retire or people should not expect to him anymore.

Casimero is still too young for retirement, though I agree that Casimero has no room for a loss in this match, or else he will be another piece to the Akaho Collection of beaten Filipino boxers.

And probably that is the reason why Casimero chooses Akaho because he wanted a challenge, a tough fight to test himself in this new weight class.

@lionheart78 - thanks for the info, yeah it seems that Akaho had beaten a lot of Filipinos in the past. And it just shows that this two nation are really arch-rival in this weight categories. Might be sweet revenge for Casimero here if he can spin the storyboard in that sense.

It's because they come from the same region and so their is rivalry between this 2 countries since way back when boxing was just starting. I still remember Penalosa, can't remember the weight class though, when he had like fight a Japanese which he can't really beat.

And so the rivalry still continues today with Akaho beating a lot of Filipinos. But most probably they could have been B level fighter. But this time it will be different as he is facing a world class Filipino champion in Casimero.

Seeing Akaho's history, he is like a local Japanese boxing IMO who also fought in the world boxing industry way back 2015 but returned locally after he was defeated by a way of KO in just 2 rounds by a Thai boxer in his first WBO belt defense. Since that day, Akaho returned under Japan Boxing Commission (JBC) where he recently defeated a Filipino boxer, Dapudong, by a KO in just 1 round.

I see why he was chosen to be Casimero's opponent in his debut in 122 pounds, this is a test to see if Casimero still have what it takes to defeat the regular boxers in this division and maybe to end Akaho's streak in defeating his fellow Filipino boxers. Either way, Casimero needs to end this fight by a KO or TKO because it won't get him hyped if he'll just barely defeat Akaho in full 12 rounds.

Casimero is still too young for retirement, though I agree that Casimero has no room for a loss in this match, or else he will be another piece to the Akaho Collection of beaten Filipino boxers.

But if ever Casimero loses this match, it just shows that likely, he doesn't have the skills and power to compete at the top rankings or a title match. Casimero is 32 years old and if he will experience continuous loss, it will just put him below rankings or the worst not even considered to be assigned now on any match. It's hard to climb on rank and that will take time as we are not even sure if Casimero can average 1-2 fights per year at the point of his career.

Anyways, let's not talk about the possibility of Casimero losing here because the winning probability for him is decent. However, upset does happen but unlikely not in this match. If this really ends up with Casimero losing this match, I should also say that he needs to hang his gloves now.

Most likely he will be here to try his very winning this fight to pursue his fresh career from this division, Casimero is still young and still in his prime, just need to have a good execution from his fighting strategy, I can say that his winning chance is decent and with his boxing attitude, he will try everything to win and to achieved something after deciding to climb up.

A good start to create noise in his name. If he wins this fight, it will be sure that he will get a decent offer for a new money fight.

For now, let's focus on this fight and hope for the best!

As far as I know his medical condition last year in December was now being controlled and since this is super bantamweight, Casimero should also not have a problem with weight. If I'm not mistaken he was 10 lbs over the required weight during the supposed Butler match.

If ever he's still playing at that weight, burning around 5 lbs should not be a problem for him before the official weigh-in of this match. Casimero although inactive on the ring for some issues he faced, should not show any ring rust, especially on this opponent.

[peter0425]

looking at their boxing record, it seems that Akaho is at advantage, he is taller than Casimero and has a farther reach than him, he is older than Casimero though, I wonder if his age will affect him throughout the match. anyway, it's my first time hearing about Akaho and has no clue how he fights. it will be interesting how Casimero will handle himself against him.

But casimero's heart will dictate the fight mate, I have watched Him fight several times and I can see in His eyes how dedication to win , though his mouth talks a lot things that I hate in boxer.

Akaho is in advantage but I doubt that he can easily defeat the Filipino Boxer .

If ever he's still playing at that weight, burning around 5 lbs should not be a problem for him before the official weigh-in of this match. Casimero although inactive on the ring for some issues he faced, should not show any ring rust, especially on this opponent.

well 5 lbs is not that big to lose as he still has almost 2 months to drop that weight , and also the movement is not that in effect because this is a basic weight loss.

His team should control this guy from gaining too much weight and force him to stay within the required range, or else this match will be cancelled as well and this might put his career more at risk. Casimero needs to commit on this, he should focus on his goal instead of other things, this match will not be easy for him so better to do all out and stay focus. His behavior are also important, he needs to address that.

Yeah, and the control is not that hard since this is 122 lbs already, as opposed to 118 lbs wherein he really have to lose a lot of that extra pounds if he comes in or walking around 130 lbs.

If ever he's still playing at that weight, burning around 5 lbs should not be a problem for him before the official weigh-in of this match. Casimero although inactive on the ring for some issues he faced, should not show any ring rust, especially on this opponent.

If he has really a good team, then they don't have to wait till the actual weigh in to burn that excess weight. They should be at least in target days before the actual weigh in so that it won't put a strain on his body trying to lose that baggage in his body. No need to go to sauna.

Wow! I didn't know Ryo Akaho is now promoted by a Korean. Ryo Akaho is already 36 years old but he is not to be taken for granted by the inactive and moving up in weight Johnreil Casimero. And the venue might be neutral but it is still Akaho's promoter staging the event. Akaho is also on a 13 fight win streak. I think Casimero is undersized at 122. He may be able to beat Akaho but he will be an underdog to the WBA/IBF champion Morudjon Akhmadaliev and WBO/WBC champion Stephen Fulton. But it is good that Casimero is back, I hope he stays focus and win in an impressive fashion in order to generate a good ranking in his new division.

Speaking of Casimero if he'll get defeated this time although it's very unlikely to happen, just like you said. But if in case that happens, I don't think he have a future in this industry anymore because where will he go next? Bantamweight doesn't fight him as he'll be having the same issues again and in the upper weight class, he can't give some troubles, so it's much better for him to retire. But just like we said, it's very unlikely, especially now that he himself is looking to bounce back to redeem his name again.

[Latviand]

Finally it's been officially announced that Johnriel Casimero's comeback fight vs Akaho will be this coming December 3 at the Paradise City in Incheon South Korea as what Akaho's promoter announced.

TBH, with Casimero in the mix on the Philippine boxing is an exciting one because of his personality or how he handles himself going into a fight. Some would say that he is cocky but if you dig deeper into him, it is just how he mentally plays his opponent.

The Filipino boxer, Johnriel Casimero is currently the 2nd ranked bantamweight vs  Akaho, all known as a knockout puncher currently with have long winstreak in his boxing career. This will be a close fight since the fighters are same knockout specialist and their strategies on fighting will be the key of the victory. Akaho is the Goliath of this fight since he is in the peak of his career and also  the condition of his body are good than Casimero who just comeback on the boxing ring.

[PX-Z]

The Filipino boxer, Johnriel Casimero is currently the 2nd ranked bantamweight

I won't call him yet with that, he just drop his WBO title due to his long inactivity and condition. If you were referring him as 2nd rank in all bantamweight division it's still far from the truth he is not even rank in the rank 2 WBO title base on here^[1], plus his opponent now is not even ranked in the top 10 of all  weight division, so he really should win it or else its time for him to resign.

He needed to win if he wanted to continue his journey from this sport. If he loses this one, it might be the end of his career. Maybe he will just continue working with his YouTube channel and try to make money from it.

But on a serious note, Casimero should win this with a great passion to make sure that he will get more money fight and also a chance to chase for the title match, still far though but for sure it's also part of the plan for him to regain his popularity and make more money from this sport.

is the vote real? that is landslide? voting 19 out of 20 for casimero ? is this how popular this boxer in our days now? well I also voted for him and i love it seeing another Filipino Boxer to take step forward to what Manny Pacquiao had already attain.
but the problem here is that about Casimero having no activities these past months , maybe he needs more exposure and open training for more popularization , this will add confidence for Him to win this fight.

John Riel is more popular boxer as compare to Akaho, majority of us never heard of him before. He might be good, but he is not on our radar. As compare to Casimero who has been tearing the division winner the belt and knocking down his opponent. It's just very unfortunate that we will not see him fight the Monster.

but the problem here is that about Casimero having no activities these past months , maybe he needs more exposure and open training for more popularization , this will add confidence for Him to win this fight.

Ring rust, everyone has to go to this. It's just a matter on how boxers are going to shake it off. And most likely, when Casimero's experience, he might likely start slow in this fight but eventually find his rhythm and this could end up to be a very good fight to watch as this could be war in his first fight at 122 lbs.

Nah, Casimero understands that a win here is his ticket for the next big fight, he was off for a while but he is still hungry for a win since he did not actually lose in a fight, he just got stripped with his belt which I believe he regretted his mistake. His comeback fight is something we should not miss to see if that fire in him is still there as he needed that to have a chance to face Inoue in the future.

Yes, I think the motivation and the hungry is still in the belly of Casimero. You are right that he didn't lose any fight or his belt, it's just he can't make the desired weight at 118 lbs.

So he will have be extra motivated in this new weight class, he will for sure look for the likes of Inoue if he decided to jump on this division or the current champion. Although there could be argument that he might be too small at 122 lbs but we will see if his power will be enough in this new division.
