[Boxing] Casimero vs Oguni - October 12

[mirakal]

I think with regards to giving Casimero a chance, Casimero must prove himself a bit more on this weight division.  He must secure impressive wins against his upcoming opponent to impress the boxing council and possibly consider him as the top contender of that division.

He certainly needs to prove everything in this division because it's not the same anymore when he was still at 118 where he dominated each and every opponent he faced.
This time, it's new to him and the people, even the bodies are still not that convinced of what he did hence why he got a much lower rank because if these bodies have thought the opposite then Casimero should've started in the Top 10 like the other boxers who made a name in their previous weight classes.

At least currently, the effort is being rewarded from being unranked before to ranked.

Casimero just needs to keep on winning to be eligible as a contender regardless of who os the opponent, ranked or unranked, popular or not. Losing should not even be an option as losing one of his future fight from now will just result from starting again at the bottom. Who knows that he will soon face Inoue but actually it doesn't matter as the goal is to become a champion again. Don't chase Inoue and just follow what on his timeline. If they will meet, they will meet.

We don't know anything about Casimero's plans at all and we're just assuming that he's still looking forward to fight with Inoue soon but what if you're right? That right now, he's just taking things in his own pace so that he can be a champion again because there is a huge chance that Inoue will climb again once his mission at 122 is already finished and once that happens, he can dominate the division on his own because the biggest stumbling block is gone.

Casimero's journey ahead is very tough. If he wants to become a champion, he needs to beat Inoue in the current division. I'm no longer considering the outcome of Inoue vs. Tapales, as I'm certain Inoue will easily win. Now, I'm more interested in how Casimero and Inoue will negotiate once the former becomes a mandatory challenger.

I read an article stating that Inoue would stay in this division for a while after beating Tapales. That statement alone gives hope to us fans that one day we will see our anticipated fight, which is Casimero vs. Inoue. This one should be a war.

Well, if that's the case then there is a big chance that we can see the fight that we have been waiting for all these years. A fight where Casimero and Inoue will finally share the same ring and make the argument end once and for all. Although, after saying that, that also means that we're truly underestimating Tapales here because we're already assuming that by then Inoue is still the champion and that Tapaes was just a mere ladder to achieve Inoue's target.

Underestimating might not be the best word to describe the majority take on this fight. We are just looking at the closest possible thing to happen.

Don't get me wrong, even though I'm with Tapales to win the fight, it's still tough for me to think how can he even make an upset against Inoue. The Japanese monster is ahead of everything compared to Tapales. We can't compare Naoya Inoue to Murodjon Akhmadaliev, the one that Tapales upset why he became a champion. We can't also compare this to starting Pacquiao when he was chosen as a replacement to fight Marco Antonio Barrera. Back then, Pacquiao was already showing potential. About Tapales, he just started to become special because of the upset win and becoming a champion.

Tapales has a low chance of beating Inoue but since he's my fellow countrymen, I will put a bet on him to show support.

Unethical move by me? No, it's just that low chance still has a chance.

That last point on your statement is true, small chance still a chance and even by stats Tapales is by far from Inoue we can't conclude
it yet if a lucky punch will give him the win.

Though we are hi-jacking the topic, it's good to see if Tapales will do everything and bring his name up, whether he loses or he makes an
upset, it will be interesting to see his progress and his fighting dedications.

Let see if what will be the turn of events for both Tapales and Casimero who will going to have their respective fights.

[Fundamentals Of]

I still can't see odds on this fight. But I am expecting Casimero to be the favorite. Oguni is not really a solid fighter that would threaten Casimero. He's not in the current rankings in his division. Although this fight will happen in Oguni's home country and that is his advantage, I don't see how Casimero would be affected. Casimero has been entering lions den in the past, going to his opponents' backyard and win. If the ML odds for Casimero isn't that low, it's a safe bet.

Regarding my recent checking at some major boxing odds preview sites, the odds for this fight is not available yet.

There's no doubt that John Riel Casimero will be the favorite here being ranked #10 by The Ring, ranked #6 by the WBC, and ranked #3 by the WBO while on the other hand, Yukinori Oguni isn't even ringing a bell for being a strong contender and just staying at his comfort zone for long.

Should be another win for Casimero as it really should be no matter what. Losing against a not even consider a strong contender does mean that says goodbye on his quest of becoming a world title holder again. Easy road to being ranked facing unpopular boxers on the way. Good progress indeed to become close on being a title contender.

As far as boxing odds goes, specially if there are no hype like this one, most likely the odds are going to be put out in the last minutes. Most likely maybe a day or two on our favourite sport bookies.

But if we look at the records, it's obvious that John Riel Casimero will be the odds favorite here. And I doubt see a enticing odds on the ML. Might be better if it will be listed to look for other options like per round, or round range bet.

Most of the time, if the fight isn't that popular, the odds are not released early. Since this isn't a championship fight, we can expect the odds to come out a week or a day before the fight, so just be patient as we'll eventually be able to place our bets at the right time. However, I'm expecting that Casimero will be the heavy favorite, so there's likely no value in the moneyline. Perhaps betting on a knockout win within a specific round range could be an interesting option.

Maybe we can see some betting odds later once the date is getting nearer to its fight night. Or maybe betting odds are only available to local countries where these two fighters came from.

Yukinori Oguni was a good opponent some years ago. He is a former world champion. But he went inactive or probably made a retirement and then some years later he made a comeback but only settled to draw against a mediocre opponent. Oguni is currently more than a year inactive so this should be an easy fight for Casimero.

About Casimero's quick rise in the rankings, it is normal since he is a 3-division world champion and it's been a long time since he lost a fight.

The betting odds will be most released on the match night,it also may easy available to the fighters countries.Because this is not the factor of the Casimero and Oguni,this odds was common to all the players and favours the fighters countries.Yukinori Oguni record was the unique one,he won 21/25 matches till his 35 years,many people saying Oguni going to retire from the boxing.

But it’s hard one,still at his retirement age,Japanese player Oguni had good record of 8 KO and 13 win by decision.In his complete record,the draw matches and loss are each two game.The record of 4/25 was very hardest part,Casimero need to very cautious even after one year gap for the Oguni.

Other bookies might not be that interested too in listing their bout because this is just a small fight with no anything on the line and only the people who are an avid fan of boxing might know Casimero but for the others who are just interested in big fights, then this is not for them that's why some bookies might not list it as not everyone are inclined to see it.

But for us, we're lucky because our sports bookies might not want to pass in this because everything is a business for them. And I agree with you right there mate, ML won't be that juicy and so it's only possible for us to find good odds in other options.

He may have a very slim chance in this fight but that is certainly not a reason for him to give up early because we never know, upset can happen anytime and thinking that it's somehow possible, there's still a chance as long as he will give his very best to show the world that he wasn't just lucky on why he became a champion as he sure do worked hard for it. For me, I don't care anymore whether if he loses or not. What's more important is that he will make the Filipino's proud because he is the first Filipino boxer who will fight for the undisputed level, a feat that Pacquiao could've achieved but this is Tapales now and he is the one who made it first.

Anything is possible inside the box and things might get off of hand if the favored would be too confident because of his edge over the opponent. As others have mentioned  this won't be a title match, and with that preparations won't be as intense as with casimero's usual. Casimero is more dominant with power in this match up also with experience. Oguni on the other hand would be a more eager fighter for the limelight. He has a 'quiet' name on his division and for sure he knows the benefit to his career if he would win this match. This should be an enough reason for casimero to be careful and to not let his guard down. But I guess I won't bet on this one.

I think every boxing fan wants to see that fight happen since that was the only fight for Inoue to prove he is the real monster if he beat Casimero, it would be a great accomplishment for him since he found the last piece of the puzzle for his achievement. As for Tapales, he won't have any chance to win the fight and it would be just a waste of belts to fight Inoue right now. Maybe he needs more time until he fights Inoue but if he really wants to try his luck then it's really up to him.

I think they will have to list it though, I haven't seen crypto sport bookies missed a boxing schedule fight.
Usually their book makers have this schedules already and might calculating the possible odds already.
But as what others have said, if it is a small fight, they might delay the listing to possible the date of the fight itself.
And if we are looking to bet on this fight, then we can't do anything but to wait. I'm not sure though if there is some notification from sports casinos that a new fight betting odds have been listed?

I'm just waiting. I am not excited to place a bet on this but I'm just curious as to the odds. If they are attractive then I will be betting. Casimero is clearly at an advantage in this fight. But if this means the odds are too low for him being the favorite, then I'd rather not bet. Perhaps if the odds that this fight would not go the distance is a bit high then I will be betting on it. There is a high possibility of a knockout.

The betting odds for Casimero to win are not attractive for sure, but there's always a betting option. Just try to take a risk in the KO markets, as Casimero will surely want to impress the crowd to gain the attention of Inoue. So, a KO win here could be a great bet. You should choose which round, or consider round ranges, like every 3 rounds per range.

There is a high possibility of a knockout.

I find it very reasonable, as Casimero does not want people to think that he is losing his power when he moves up.

[Ziskinberg]

Maybe he needs more time until he fights Inoue but if he really wants to try his luck then it's really up to him.

Tapales probably sees an opportunity in fighting Inoue; it's the money he would make, which is bigger compared to fighting an unknown boxer who would be his challenger. He's seizing the opportunity, win or lose; he would make a decent paycheck. But if he wins via an upset, it will be life-changing for him, and he will be recognized all over the world. With that to happened, I'm sure there are more opportunities waiting for him.

He is just being practical, man. Of course, money is the priority, as a boxer cannot be in the sport forever. Even some of the most popular athletes in the sport have retired early because they feel they cannot compete against younger boxers. So, Tapales needs to choose the right direction, which is to ensure that he will earn big in a fight. Besides, if he keeps fighting challengers, there's still a possibility that he would lose in the long run, or maybe he would seek bigger challenges. And this one is already in front of him; it's the biggest opportunity in his life but also the biggest gamble. So, his confidence that he can beat Inoue is what matters. He is a real warrior who is not afraid to take on big challenges.
