Checking Akaho's previous fights against Filipino boxers, I can say that most of those are not even in a good ranking nor being a strong contender.

I agree but still defeating lots of Filipino boxers is somehow a feat of its own even though those boxers aren't considered elite. It still leaves a mark that somehow Akaho is a Filipino executioner.

Different from John Riel Casimero that already proven as one of the strong boxers in the Bantamweight although this match is under the Super Bantamweight Division but should not be a different environment for him.

This will be Akaho's biggest challenge against a Filipino boxer as he is against a former world champion.

Yeah, this maybe the biggest challenge Philippines can give to Akaho after beating 5 or 6 Filipino boxers. I hope we can see Casimero defeating Akaho via KO or TKO to avenge those Filipino boxers who lost to Akaho.

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.

It is Casimero and his camp's fault but what happened happens, now that he is in the Division where we can easily meet the weight requirement, I think we can see better performing Casimero, so I think Akaho is in for a huge surprise this time. Grin
