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.
I agree, he will not lose on this one as he is determined more than ever to show to the fans that Quadro Alas is one of the faces of Philippine boxing. Getting the weight is expected to be not a problem anymore so all he has to do now is train hard and be focused on the fight and don't think of the future fight with Inoue, one fight at a time.
Odds are not released yet but for sure Casimero would be the heavy favorite to win this one, I just hope that ring rust won't be an issue here as he is out of the ring for more than a year I think.
