[Boxing] Casimero vs Akaho - December 3

[Yamifoud]

It will be an interesting fight if Casimero will bring his entertaining skills. I mean, he loves the attention he must win the crowd here.

He really need to make a comeback win with this one and give the audiences the fight they really wanted to see from him. If his skills are still there, the fans all around the world will demand to see him fighting Inoue next. When their managers see the demand of that fight, they will gonna negotiate and make it come true.

Skills-wise, many will agree with me that Casimero has the edge on this department and I think he would work hard on his training regimen because that would be the only way that he can be sure to beat Akaho, I mean skills are nothing if the hard work is not there, it should work side by side.

For me, Casimero is a marketable fighter because of his antics and he doesn't need to be associated with Inoue at this point in his career because that money fight will come if he will focus on his goal which is to be back on his winning ways.

Yup, focusing in this upcoming fight will be the key for Casimero to win this fight, if he regain his name and start hyping back his career sooner or later money fight will come, not exactly from how he has been treated way back from his original weight division but if he keeps getting the attention for sure promoters will give him the money to fight, that may lead to a good title fight.

Believe that it will happen, Casimero will surely regain his name because he was not beaten through a fight. I believe the fight is going to be exciting, of course, Casimero being the aggressor is a sure thing already, his counter punching is very precise, so KO is expected this fight.

It's on how he will prepare himself and how he will impress the fans. The goal is to win and make his way up from this new division.

His problem before was his weight, now it should not be the problem.

He needs to take it one fight at the time, first it is going to be Akaho in front of him, not Butler or Inoue. So his focus should be on who he is fighting and not look for any future fights yet.

But once he overcome and win here, the door will be open, nobody can deny that he almost had a good run in 118 lbs and could be the one facing Inoue. But things happen and hopefully he learn for that huge mistake and start all over again at 122 lbs and win some belts later down the line.

[Kasabus]

i can agree that casimero has boxing skills. but when he failed to get a fight with inoue many times, i guess some of his boxing fans got disappointed.

His fans is disappointed on Inoue not him because he was always ready to face Inoue when he was still a champion but Inoue choose to fight Donaire instead of him. Inoue loss his title because of an offense, but if he was still a champ, I doubt Inoue would go for an undisputed fight with him.

You are maybe right but Casimero was not careful enough because made a mistake that cost him his belt and he losses that opportunity to fight Inoue. If Inoue was making an excuse, then he should be happy because of what happen to Casimero, but, if he will move up in weight and will meet Casimero, then we can still see a good fight between the Monster and Quadro Alas.

Judging from Casimero's situation lately, that gives us some hint that his fight with Inoue might not materialize too just like what happened to him against Paul Butler because Quadro Alas himself is already struggling to keep his weight from the desired weight. He's struggling to maintain his weight to be a bantamweight boxer that is why he is now contesting at 122 pounds. Let's just hope that we can still see them dancing soon at 122 because we never know, Inoue might choose Casimero to be his opponent in his debut.

For sure Inoue will rather choose fighting against the division champ instead of choosing Casimero where he might have a tough
job to beat, otherwise, the promoters will offer huge amount.

We can't conclude what fate Casimero may have from this new division but with his skills and IQ he also has decent chance of making
his way to be one of the top contenders for the belt.

One step at a time, just continue winning and everything will be concluded accordingly.

That may be the case and I know that they can't turn down a good money fight but the question is, will Bob Arum let that happen? We all know what kind of promoter he is, and he always puts his boxers in a much comfortable space before giving them war. So, maybe we can see that Inoue will test the water first, maybe not Casimero but there's a high chance that he won't be facing champions on his debut.

I definitely agree with you on that, Casimero has an edge over Akaho, but he shouldn't be slacking because of that as he still need to finish this fight with a good outcome to send a message in this division. He needed to work his way again through the ranks just like what he did in bantamweight division and Inoue fight could be interesting but that is not he needed now. There will be a time for that.

Yes, no doubt about that. Casimero clearly have the upper hand compared to this Ryo Akaho who's not that known and doesn't have any impressive figures in his rapsheet. I mean, even the users in this forum are siding and voting in Casimero's favor, and that is not so surprising at all. What I want to see is how would Casimero finish this fight because surely, just like what you have said, Casimero needs to send a message.

If Akaho will engage which he has that capabilities in taking solid punches, it's nice seeing a toe-to-toe exchanges of punches that may lead of them down, a KO will hype the name of whoever will win this fight, siding to Casimero is no longer a surprise, he is a former Champ who never lose his belt into a fight but by technicalities.

A good challenge to him now, preparing for his upcoming fight, a new division which would be the first step in his new journey.

[Hypnosis00]

A good challenge to him now, preparing for his upcoming fight, a new division which would be the first step in his new journey.

The first step and his possible first win, well, there should be no problem with him in this fight, it's on the division that he is comfortable, there is no more weight issues for sure and we will again see Casimero winning via KO. There's a reason why he is the heavy favorite here, that's because people still believe that he still is a champion.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I'm happy that he ain't gonna spend the rest of the year reflecting on what he had done in the past when he almost have the shot on undisputed title with Inoue. This is much better for him rather than forcing himself to shrink at a certain weight needed that he'll surely struggle. In this weight class, I hope have no issues because he needed to climb through the ranks if he still want to be a belt holder.

Should be no problem now on this weight division but hopefully, that gastritis won't ruin the fun here. That medical condition is unpredictable and Casimero can be hit with that anytime. But this time I think they are more prepared and during the time when they are almost close fighting against Paul Butler, he seems healthy at that point.

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.

He will not lose if he is healthy, prior to his disqualification in the Butler's match, we were expecting that he will win, in fact, he was the heavy favorite to win but unfortunate things happened and he was stripped of his belt. Now, he is coming back, and though it's not a big fight it's already good for a start, so I'm very optimistic that he will win here and he will start building his name again, that hype has to grow for him to have a big fight again.

Well, in this match I cannot say that I am totally clear, because I do not like to underestimate anyone, and much less distrust the great abilities that a boxer may have in particular, whether he is known or not, for me a boxer will always have a lot to offer because he got there for a reason, but I clearly know that many will go for Casimero, he is the favorite, he is a boxer who has always shown us what his style is like and how he deals with his challenges, we cannot discredit the work he has done Akaho has done, because he is a boxer who has his merits, and this is what I always say, if he wants to make history, everything depends on his training.

It will be an interesting fight if Casimero will bring his entertaining skills. I mean, he loves the attention he must win the crowd here.

Well, I have no doubt Casimero will make it an entertaining fight, however, it's also important Akaho will be willing to give his 100% and do a toe to toe fight, not like Rigondeaux who just run all night.  I am not too familiar on his opponent but judging his boxing record, I know this guy is willing to exchange faces with his opponent.

I'm already expecting a heavy fight because both of them has their own goal and only by a way of win can meet those goals they have. The only difference is that Casimero is looking for a good fight where he can bounce back while Akaho is seeing Casimero as a way to get his name known in the international league. What I want to see is Casimero's mind games, I hope we can get some glimpse soon.

Both are banger, so obviously, this will be a war in the ring. And in addition, Casimero is entertaining and very brandish as per his previous fight. And most likely he will do that again in the ring, maybe toy with Akaho in the beginning of the round as if to say that he is not affected by his punches. So yeah even in the fight there will be mind games being played by Casimero and if Akaho is not careful and fall for this trick then definitely, Casimero might have a better chance of winning.

Well, in this fight I know that many will go for Casimero, he is a very complete boxer and I think he meets the expectations of many, for me he is a boxer who probably has the advantage, but to tell the truth when we get to see From a much larger window we can conclude the following, it is a sport under which we can give the favorite the winner according to their statistics and the good numbers that are handled, for me Akaho is very good, but I do not know if with respect to I almost managed to be superior, but I have learned something, that in contact sports if you have enough training and subject your body to great efforts, it is likely that you can give a surprise.

It will be a good fight and knowing that Casimero is somehow careless and would try to bait this Akaho to give what he wanted and that is a toe-to-toe fight. Not sure who will survive at the end but I think Casimero have the advantage, and he should give everything just to shift the fight on his favor as this fight will determine his future in this industry.

Of course, it's already expected that Casimero will garner most of the votes here and seeing the poll is a clear indication that Casimero truly have what it takes and talent to beat Ryo Akaho, I have no doubts as well on Casimero's talents, even before. But I'm just curious regarding on his weight, any news about him? It's so unlikely that we're not getting any news from him, I just wanna know if he's still struggling to get the required weight in this division.

[lionheart78]

Believe that it will happen, Casimero will surely regain his name because he was not beaten through a fight. I believe the fight is going to be exciting, of course, Casimero being the aggressor is a sure thing already, his counter punching is very precise, so KO is expected this fight.

On the other note, idling for so long may affect the performance of Casimero in the early rounds.  So we might possibly see a slow-starting Casimero in this fight.  We have seen Loma performing like this when he has gone idle for a long time

It's on how he will prepare himself and how he will impress the fans. The goal is to win and make his way up from this new division.

His problem before was his weight, now it should not be the problem.

Definitely weight shouldn't be a problem but his stamina.  I hope Casimero will improve his stamina so that he can really box it out even when the fight goes to 12 rounds.  Except for Manny Pacquiao, the majority of Filipino boxers' issue is stamina.  Many are skilled and strong punchers but when the fight goes a long way, many of them don't have enough stamina to stay as effective as in the early round.

[harizen]

But I'm just curious regarding on his weight, any news about him? It's so unlikely that we're not getting any news from him, I just wanna know if he's still struggling to get the required weight in this division.

He only struggled to maintain weight at around 118 lbs therefore at 122-125 lbs, there should be at least no problem.

Not that much news about him because we can fairly assume that this fight is not really a big fight to consider.

Maybe a few days or weeks before the fight, we can at least see some local sports news giving pre-match analysis on this fight.

casimero needs to show what he's got on this division as he found hard time to get in at 118lbs. so we are expecting that this higher weight division should not be a problem for him. i can understand that most are rooting for him to win this fight, but he should not take this lightly as we haven't seen him fight on this weight level. if he wants to redeem himself, he should be serious on this fight even if we say this is not a big fight for him.

True, 118 lbs was really a problem for him and I think his body can't no longer go that low without giving him any problems. So it's a right move for him to go 122 lbs, and I will speculate that he won't have a problem making this weight this time. If his walking weight is around 126 - 130 lbs, then it's easy to shed that 5 lbs or more in the 3-4 months that he will go full and hard training. And I will also assumed that he will get someone to monitor his weight along the way just to make sure that there will be no issues in his new weight class.

Agree with you both. Struggling in the 118 lbs is even the big reason to consider why he moved up weight as they don't want to struggle anymore catching that weight because maybe in Casimero's current lifestyle, he's now playing at around 125 lbs to 130 lbs.

Besides, if ever he is still at over 10 lbs at the required catchweight a few days before this match, he is allowed to do the sauna and everything lol. The use of a sauna is only prohibited under the terms of the British Boxing Council that's why Donaire even points out that it should not be the reason for Casimero being stripped with the title although the point there is, Casimero should follow the jurisdiction of the host country.

Indeed since it is a non-title fight, it isn't that big but it is a very interesting fight since Akaho has floored several Filipino boxers.  I think he is not beaten in his fight against Filipino fighter so this is somehow intriguing if Akaho will continue his streak of beating Filipino fighter or Casimero will avenge his fellow Filipinos that loses to Akaho. Take note Akaho last fight was against a Filipino boxer Edrin Dapudong whom he knocked out in the first round last September 3, 2022 at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.[1]

With his possible natural weight division, I believe Casimero will perform better.  Since he has no issue of overtraining just to meet the requirement, he possibly have maximum energy to fight this match.  So I expect a better performing Casimero than when he is on his previous weight category.

Checking Akaho's previous fights against Filipino boxers, I can say that most of those are not even in a good ranking nor being a strong contender.

Different from John Riel Casimero that already proven as one of the strong boxers in the Bantamweight although this match is under the Super Bantamweight Division but should not be a different environment for him.

This will be Akaho's biggest challenge against a Filipino boxer as he is against a former world champion.

It's not that far from the last weight division where Casimero became a champ, he can still move the same and his fighting skills especially his speed is still applicable though the opponents strength might be tougher from this new weight but proper adjustments and enough trainings and sparring may let Casimero to stand out and bring the win.

Akaho maybe win from those past fights against Pilipino fighters, but Casimero is another class. He is a champion before
and he can adjust and possible taking solid punches from his opponent.

Yes, it will be smooth transition moving to 122 lbs and I do believed that he can carry his power to that new division.

Donaire could be right about Casimero's case, but the problem is, this is the second time that he has been given chance by WBO to perform his duty as the champion. In the first supposedly fight with Butler, he goes down and become ill. He was given the chance by the organization when he submitted a medical report (and I suspect that he has difficulty already making the weight that time). But in the second one, he clearly violated BBBoC and the WBO can't do anything or their hands are force to stripped Casimero of his world title and Butler winning it against Sultan.

It's not that far from the last weight division where Casimero became a champ, he can still move the same and his fighting skills especially his speed is still applicable though the opponents strength might be tougher from this new weight but proper adjustments and enough trainings and sparring may let Casimero to stand out and bring the win.

I'm expecting Casimero to be like that. No offense to Akaho but this should be an easy fight for Casimero.

If we can expect a 100% healthy Casimero like the way he performed as a WBO Bantamweight Champion, I'm seeing no reason how Akaho can keep up against him. However, if there will be an upset here (and I'm not ruling out that),, and let's say Akaho got the win, Casimero needs to deeply think about what the problem is.
