Inoue vs Casimero (possible fight in 2024) Let's discuss!

[Jating]

Maybe the clearest fight to speculate is Casimero vs Tapales since this have more chances to happen and it already create a noise since both parties is open to set this fight to happen. We don't have date to speculate but for sure this is bound to happen since both of them have something to prove and also for now this is the biggest fight what Casimero can get so for sure he will pick up this match up.

This is a good fight to know who is the better fighter between the two because Casimero has criticized Tapales about not even competitng with Inoue as according to casimero he isn't throwing punches that could hurt Inoue. They want to make money? this should be the fight, but I think it will happen in the Philippines as they don't have a big market in the US, Filipinos will be happy, both fighters will receive a decent paycheck.

I don't know where Casimero or how he thinks that Tapales is not competing with Inoue when they have the fight. Obviously, Tapales is trying his best, he even has some good rounds to boot and hit Inoue. But Naoya chin is very strong that not even he hits him solidly, Inoue is just eating it. So it's not right for Casimero to criticized his fellow countryman just because he lost to Inoue. And with that, he could also be criticized with the way he is fighting at 122 lbs, two fights and we are not that impressive and it could be the reason why he may not get his fight with Inoue. Unless he wins impressively next, but still it will be Nery that will fight Inoue.

That's his own opinion, as we also have ours in terms of what Tapales shows in that fight. He might think that he just want to survived or anything. But Tapales shows heart that time and even if he was knockdown early, he goes on and fight with his own pride as a Filipino and Casimero should take note of that.

And what you have said, you can also have your own opinion on him at his fight at 122 lbs and how brandish he can think that he can beat Inoue when it was just talk for now. We will see how he will do if there is a possible fight between the two. He should work his competition though, and give us what others says, a impressive win so that he the camp of Inoue will take notice of him and not like just using his mouth to trash talk his way to a fight with the current pound for pound fighter (at least for me).

I'm sure everyone here saw the fight. Although Tapales have hit Inoue but it wasn't a solid shot, he was just trying to score and then defend so Inoue could not hit him back. However, what he was doing as a strategy doesn't help him as Inoue felt his power and thought he can handle the power of Tapales so in the later rounds Inoue is just attacking him.

Tapales is simply outwork by Inoue, he just doesn't have the speed to evade Inoue's attack, so maybe Tapales should have gambled and get more aggressive as for sure as long as he would hit Inoue, the latter would feel his power and might not bully him on the ring. There's no take two for this one, although he tried his bets but it wasn't enough and rematch is not needed anymore since it will only have the same result. So this Tapales vs Casimero is more exciting for me, can they make it into reality?

For now this is just a rumor, we have to wait for the official announcement before we further discuss this with its dedicated thread. This Inoue vs Casimero fight is just also a rumor as Inoue is fighting Nery, and after that Inoue didn't officially announce on who he will fight next ( provided he wins).

Fans are definitely wanting to see Casimero fight Inoue, they should be able to create a good trailer on the match as it's been hype until it slowly go down since Casimero wasn't able to bring his A game on his recent fights. However, the moment Inoue will say it's a go for Casimero, then this hype will suddenly spike as people already know this possible fighte, been rumored for years already.

Yes, we are eagerly waiting for this fight to happen and it almost did, if not for Casimero really derailing the fight itself going to sauna and having a hard time making the 122 lbs. And with that his opportunity was grab by Butler and we all know what happen to that fight as Butler was destroyed and the final piece on his belt, the WBO was grab by Inoue to complete the unification.

Now, if Casimero still want to proved that he can beat the Monster then give us a good fight and not just a performance that is weak that he can't even knockout two of his opponents in the 122 lbs.

Casimero made mistake but that wasn't the main reason why the fight didn't happen. Before that incident, Inoue could already fight Casimero if he wanted to because their fight was only postpone due to the pandemic, but when the pandemic is over, it seemed like he wasn't interested anymore.

Inoue will not fight Casimero, unless Casimero will become his mandatory challenger, and that's what Casimero has to work for now.

I could agree with that because it seems like casimero was the one that is blamed on why the fight didn't happen.
This was announce in 2022.

And I believe early in 2022 fights are already allowed, and at the same year Casimero was stripped with his title. If Inoue fight Casimero as soon as boxing are allowed, that could not happen anymore and we will know who is the better between the two. We would not be talking about that potential fight now.

Inoue will not fight Casimero, unless Casimero will become his mandatory challenger, and that's what Casimero has to work for now.

He is now the champion, he can play his card as he is the one dictating what's going to happen, and who he will fight with. Casimero being the mandatory challenger is not enough for him to secure a fight as Inoue could make a decision to move up.

If Inoue fight Casimero as soon as boxing are allowed, that could not happen anymore and we will know who is the better between the two. We would not be talking about that potential fight now.

That was a disappoint fact, people were not happy with the action of Inoue's camp as they didn't make the fight resume. If it's postpone only, then that should have happen after everything was okay or back in business. However, they have other plans, they like to go on an easy route and they succeeded on that. Boxing is probably a game of mind as well, I mean, disregard what people say as long as there's an opportunity for an easy fight, that should be taken, and with that Inoue vs Casimero is likely not gonna happen.

Inoue will not fight Casimero, unless Casimero will become his mandatory challenger, and that's what Casimero has to work for now.

He is now the champion, he can play his card as he is the one dictating what's going to happen, and who he will fight with. Casimero being the mandatory challenger is not enough for him to secure a fight as Inoue could make a decision to move up.

That's the another valid move to avoid Casimero. Inoue has all the reasons to move up as he already became an undisputed champion in the current division his reigning. But you know, people will continue to speculate, and that will not stop until Inoue gives Casimero that fight he wants ever since.

I think Inoue is still interested because Casimero has that one belt that he needs, perhaps it was due to the pandemic, but I think Casimero fought Duke Micah that time and defend his belt and Casimero is supposedly go to England and fight Butler. But there were a lot of complications in the part of Casimero already, and maybe the issue with his trainer or with MP or the weight itself.

Anyhow, I agree that if everything depends on Casimero right now. If he wanted to get the attention of Inoue, he will have to be the mandatory at least in one of the division. Perhaps being a ex-champion of WBO, this is the organization that Casimero will have a good chance to be work it out and go up in ranks and then become the #1 fighter in that division and become the mandatory.

That was a costly mistake Casimero did. If he didn't let that belt stripped, he could have fight Inoue for a unification bout, but things happen, he loss his belt and Inoue loss his interest on fighting Casimero too. It's like we were rob because we know that only Casimero could potentially give Inoue a good challenge, but Casimero loss on technicalities on the ranking requirement that is not eligible to fight the champ, just a bad fate for him.

Anyhow, I agree that if everything depends on Casimero right now. If he wanted to get the attention of Inoue, he will have to be the mandatory at least in one of the division. Perhaps being a ex-champion of WBO, this is the organization that Casimero will have a good chance to be work it out and go up in ranks and then become the #1 fighter in that division and become the mandatory.

That might happen if he wins his next fight, but it seems like there was no schedule for him yet. Waiting for too long is not good for Inoue as he still have a lot to achieve, and most likely he'll just move up instead.

If the team of Casimero really wants to fight Inoue at that time, they should urged Casimero to lose more weight but it looks like they also tolerate it.
Well, let's see if this fight will push through because I'm so eager to see a Filipino boxer to beat Inoue because this monster defeats every filipino boxers who are trying to beat him. Inoue is still at its peak and still young, hope that Casimero can counter this monster if ever.

Yes, but we should move forward already, he is a 122 lbs now and he want's to get a fight with Inoue. He doesn't need to lose weight or consider it as a issue right now because his first 2 fights as super bantamweight, he did make the weight.

But as we have noted already, he needs to show he camp of Inoue, if he really deserves a fight.

Meaning, give us something a big win against a rank fighter in this division and maybe Inoue will give him his chance.

That hasn't happen yet for Casimero. The most valid evidence that he was really winning an impressive fights is if his ranking is improving, right now, his ranking wouldn't make him a mandatory challenger for Inoue, so if Inoue will choose him, it could be a special treatment or people might criticize Inoue for choosing a fighter with lower ranking instead of those at the top as his challenger.

Casimero needs to continue winning so he'll get a chance to square up with Inoue before the latter moves up.

Inoue can do that, and I don't think it's a special treatment if that would help sell tickets for the fight. Inoue has not given Casimero a chance yet since their last supposed fight cancellation, so it's high time for him to give one after he defeated all his mandatory opponents, so it can give people a peace of mind knowing who is the better between the two.

Casimero needs to continue winning so he'll get a chance to square up with Inoue before the latter moves up.

This something wrong with his promoter as he hasn't been rumored getting a fight this year. If he is on the right promoter, they should know that creating hype this early would help sell the fight, but unfortunately there's no rumors yet as to who he'll fight next.

Don't blame his promoter but the whole team. They created the mess in the first place on why they end up in their current status.

They also tried to settle fights with top-ranked boxers, like for example with Nery, but these boxers didn't want to fight Casimero.

They should go again inking an agreement with a non popular boxer just for sake of being an active boxer.

well, casimero himself made this path for himself. if he was up to every fight way back, he should have already faced inoue before. but due to being overweight for his supposedly fight and other factors, some of his previous fights were canceled.

so yeah, for his boxing fans, they should not be bitter with the turn of events because it is not in any way fault of inoue for not facing him or at least a priority for inoue's camp to settle the score between them. now, inoue is on a different level and i don't think casimero's camp is grasping this fact that it is no easy feat for casimero to have a match with inoue.

And that shows that he's too careless and at the same time he do have that kind of confidence on why he had messed up and this is something a behavior on which you shouldn't really be that tending to do
when you do have that upcoming match. This is why those are really indeed those missed opportunities on fight Inoue as one of those results. So its his mistake on really just that too confident
and some people do really hate up his trashtalker behavior. I dont know if this fight would really be pushed through or not. Is this fight arrangement final?

Casimero's team failed not ONCE but TWICE. It's not acceptable. First, the overweight issue and the Second, unaware of British Boxing Council terms. Maybe it's not his fault of becoming overweight but the being unaware of any Boxing terms in a country is bullshit.

It's sad to see Casimero slowly fading away on his prime. We should already see Inoue vs Casimero if they are not arrogant.

That was a significant mistake they cannot undo. No excuses on that; they were aware, and yet they still violated the rules. It's called cheating, even though their intention was just to make the fight happen at the right weight. But they got caught, so they have to pay the price. However, there's no assurance yet that if Casimero did win that fight and kept the belt, Inoue would be up for a unification battle.

It's sad to see Casimero slowly fading away on his prime.

He hasn't proven anything yet in this division, unlike Inoue. Maybe if he could go back to the bantamweight division, he might reign, but it's uncertain if his body can still maintain the right weight. In the higher division he is currently in, he has had little chance to fight the best. Despite facing just mediocre boxers, he still could not dominate, and some of his fights ended in controversy. It's just unlucky, but I think he still hasn't passed his prime.

We should already see Inoue vs Casimero if they are not arrogant.

I believe that isn't the main reason. Boxing is a business, and if promoters like a boxer who talks a lot, it can attract the attention of the fans, making it easier to market the event.

[Oilacris]

^ As for violation on something that should be known already or they could simply check it out, then it do really shows on how irresponsible they are or something it was intentional.

#Point 1 - Its true that Casimero didnt prove out something well into his division.Yes, he's also a champion but not really that much on having that impact
#Point 2 - Tons of trashtalks then it is really that making that so much noise and hype. The more hate the more views they could get. lol

Boxing is business and its not shocking that they would really be doing their very best on hyping it out as much as possible.
The higher the hype and interest the bigger the money that they could get.

No way he should return in Bantamweight. It's the major cause of his weight concerns that's why he ended up moving up instead. He will just waste time maintaining the required weight on the 118 and then, in the end, be disqualified.

He's already fading mate and we should accept that. He's not on his usual performance where the aggressiveness is clearly shown. See his last fight against an unranked boxer where even his opponent's name doesn't ring a bell in the boxing world and came from a country that is not known for establishing a product of popular boxers in history?

Unlike before during the hype of their first supposed clash with Naoya Inoue in 2020, I feel that Casimero will beat Inoue. But now, Inoue is more improved and I don't think Casimero will win if they will face each other now. Inoue not only maintained his strength since that first supposed fight with Casimero but became more deadly as well. Casimero on the other hand, now experiencing the effect of being inactive for a long in a professional fight aside from weight issues.
