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.
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.
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.
