[Boxing] Casimero vs Nghitumbwa (May 13)

[aioc]

I highly agree.  Casimero must exceed his previous performance in every match, he must capture the attention of all boxing audiences.

It can only happen if his opponent comes to fight like Duke Micah but if his opponent will go like Rigondeaux, it will be 12 rounds of cat and mouse chasing, no problem with Casimero he always comes to fight, ready to slug it out ready to get hit to get a hit, what I like about Casimero is he walk his talk, when he said he will knock his opponent he will find ways on every round so there are no boring rounds when it comes to Casimero it's his opponent call to run or engage.

And speaking about this fight, Casimero  for sure might be back on his trash talking and his brandish style. I haven't check his social media though as to what he is going to say or his prediction in this fight. But for sure, he is going to aim for a knockout victory and make a statement as we have been saying in this division.

No doubt about that, it's not Casimero if it won't be like that. I'm sure this will be an easy win and expect a knockout result but let's see how his performance is after his last controversial fight which is good one.

He needs to make a big statement to climb the ladder again. If he can, a knockout will be a better ending for this fight with all the favors on him. Make it look like WBO or WBC have to put someone stronger if they want to see a more entertaining fight.
Time is running out for him and getting back to that title fight must be done quickly or else he will be too old to win it back.

As for the trash-talking, I have not seen any before the Akaho fight and so is now against Nghitumbwa. None yet. I checked Twitter accounts and I cannot find anything too. He must've learned his lesson already and he actually has nothing to back up his cockyness without a belt.

Having that attitude affects the performance of Casimero and his reputation, his team should really teach him to focus on his trainings instead of making trash talks, we actually don’t know if this is part of their promotional strategy or this is the real Casimero. Anyway, having this march next month can be a good opportunity for him again to get back on track, I can see a good match up here, Casimero have more chance here to win if be focuses more on his strategy.

In fairness though, Casimero can back up his trash talk. Regardless if it's part of the marketing or promotional strategy, he's not just pure trash-talking but giving proof in the actual boxing match. Might be arrogant to others and not good to see but he's really like that since then.

As long as it's not "below the belt", I think there's no problem with it.

Agreed, Casimero has shown himself to be a true warrior by fighting in different countries and winning most of his fights. When he makes a prediction to knock out his opponent, he usually follows through on it, unless his opponent becomes defensive and only fights to survive the 12 rounds.

Casimero is aware that there's still a lot of work to be done to reach the top, but he continues to fight in his own style, entertaining his fans in the process. As he continues to dominate, it's not surprising that he'll gain even more followers in the future.

And to remind us about how he can be an entertaining fighter, here is the full fight against Akaho.

It didn't end well as the fight was stopped by the referee due to a punch in the nape. But I really doubt it was hit, it's a slip. Then, Akaho saw the referee pointing at the nape so he got the idea to use his acting skills.
Upon watching it over and over, obviously, he was ready to protect himself again with the barrage of punches that Quadro Alas had thrown at him. But, he claimed until the end that he was hurt even though he was given enough time to rest.

A change in style might happen, and Casimero might avoid those kinds of punches while the opponent's head is down to prevent a "no contest". But, we all know he has that power punch that could end the fight as quickly as possible and I know Akaho felt it that's why he didn't go back to fighting him.

Any boxer who respects Casimero's power will be cautious in the fight. Despite not throwing many punches, his accurate timing and ability to land one punch could turn the fight around. I can't forget his impressive victory over Zolani Tete, who underestimated Casimero and already scheduled his next fight against Inoue. Casimero's TKO resulted in the downfall of Tete's career.

Casimero has been underestimated by many boxers and Tete didn't learn from the past. Casimero has traveled a lot and fought champions in their homes soil and bet them and there are even riots during his fight.

What I'm trying to say is that he is battle tested already and with that, if you did underestimate him like what Tete did, you have to pay the price. And just like that, Tete was not the same anymore after his fight with Casimero before the way he was knockout was brutal.

[Reatim]

84% of knockout percentage? am not sure if we can belittle that record though not as impressive as casimero yet this is one good record to fight the Filipino boxer.
and I believe that there is a good outcome about the fight.
is there schedule about the fight?

it is actually His trademark and if he is not trashtalking then he must change His name 

but like what said by many , this is His fight(Johnriel Casimero)

It's not intentional though on the part of Casimero, that's how he fights, and Akaho is clinching and hugging him that's why the weird angle when he throw that punch. But clearly, it was not even glazing Akaho, he is just a actor who pretend to be hit on the back, as maybe he felt the power of Casimero already and chooses to sit and not let moved forward.

In this fight, Casimero will still be the same, throwing a lot of power punches and hopefully Nghitumbwa is not afraid to go toe to toe. Just like when he fought Duke Micah, that kid is good to be honest and he try to go head to head but the power of Casimero is too much.

Right, now if this Nghitumbwa will not be cautious enough nor know Casimero's truly ability, he will be caught by Casimero's power punches by surprise and I got no doubts about that. That is what I liked about him though, even though his mouth frequently talks nonsense that are sometimes not already connected to the topic, he can always back his words with impressive performance. Hopefully Nghitumbwa will give Casimero a good fight as that's what the Filipino boxer wanted.

Not going to argue with you about that as I don't have any doubts about his talents as well.

I may a bit biased towards him because he's my fellow countryman but believe me, this man's dedication is outstanding especially when he's serious. Apart from that, the fact that he is redeeming himself now to climb towards the upper bracket makes him more dangerous, IMO. If he will continue to have 1-2 successive fights this year, he might find himself fighting against a champion next year.

[Saisher]

OP @bisdak40 should change the date on the title, it's not May 3 it's May 13 people may think that the fight is over when it's still 8 days to go Casimero is all hype on this fight he wants to give his local fans something they will really enjoy, his last four fights are held abroad and last time he fought in the Philippines was in 2019 so I expect Casimero to knock Nghitumbwa to please the local fans its part of his comeback fight to regain the title if he is serious in his weight management he will be champion again.

Update:  my bad I think I still have an April fools day hang up on me but still the date should be May 13 not May 3

We are still in April mate, so we still have a full month before this fight and not 8 days. But I do agree that the date will need to be change to May 13 as this is the official date. Everyone is expecting that Casimero will show his talent and tools here and score a big knockout against his opponent. As we have been discussing, he needs to make a statement win here against a relatively unknown fighter in Nghitumbwa.

It's not that we are underestimating Nghitumbwa here, but we all know how good was Casimero is in the last couple of years specially when he become the champion at 118 lbs. It's just that we didn't witnessed him and Inoue, nevertheless, we might see them in fight in the future if he can win big here.

Inoue and Casimero deserve each other both are thinking and powerful puncher, and both know their strength and make the necessary adjustment to apply them, I like how Casimero think inside the ring he sizes up his opponent, negotiate the distance, feel the power of his opponent and when he sums it up he goes for the best strategy to beat his opponent, one good example is his fight against Tete, Casimero is so calm, collected and confident that he can beat Tete

Here is the full fight and see how Casimero thinks inside the ring

Thanks for the heads up mate.

Will change the title reflecting the final date of the fight now.

Per interview of Casimero here in Cebu, there is an ongoing negotiation for him to fight Inoue this December, heard it directly on his mouth so this might be true or maybe another April Fools act hehe

We might hear more about it after the fight against Nghitumbwa, else, if there's none to come out meaning to say that he might just use that route to promote his fight and to bring audience attentions.

Might be true or also might be another April fool's act, but if ever that the negotiations are really on its way
for sure fans who love to see him and Inoue inside the ring will bring more hypes to this possible fight to
take place.

All he needs to do for now is to win this fight via TKO or KO if he could because he hasn't been getting real good fights since he fought Guillermo Rigondeaux and he is delayed too much because of some disqualifications before the fight. Thankfully he got the win in his last fight after a review by the Korea Boxing Member Commission if not, then his career is not looking good at the moment. He needs this kind of exposure and does his thing again to catch the fans' attention and somehow will get his chance to be Inoue's next opponent.

If Casimero's opponent is prepared to withstand his power punches, we may see a KO victory. However, we should not underestimate his opponent, despite being relatively unknown. He has a high KO percentage, which is sure to present a tough challenge for Casimero. So if Casimero wins this fight, it will significantly boost his career as his ranking will improve. This would open up the possibility of a championship fight for him in the near future.

Even if we can say for now that Casimero has all the advantage still he's camp shouldn't take this one as easy fight for them. Remember that there's something like this happen before and many thought that Pacquaio will dominate Ugas but it didn't happen, but rather Ugas totally dominate Pacquaio at that fight so  Casimero need to be more prepared for this to avoid the same like scenario since Nghitumbwa is also dangerous opponent to fight on.
