I think Casimero will overcome Akaho. I am more interested in how well Casimero beat Akaho. If Casimero only wins a close fight or a tough win then he is in danger against the Akhmadaliev and Fulton.
If Casimero gets a hard time winning the fight then there is a huge chance that he will have difficulty in the rest of the journey of his current division. As observed by other members here, although Akaho had beaten lots of Filipino players, he isn't as good as those elite boxers that are on the top ranking.
Casimero needs to show a very good performance on this fight, meaning he should win on this match.
A lot of users here are always rooting for Casimero, but it was a disappointment when he couldn't even met the weight requirements.
Now, that he is moving up weight division, I do hope that his camp won't find anymore excuses to delay or to postpone the fight.
If he won't step up, his boxing career is in jeopardy as there will be more deserving boxers that will take his place.
I highly agree, he needs at least a best performance to erase bad issues where his title was confiscated.
