Majority is in favor with Casimero because he is much well know compare to Akaho but its really dangerous for him to belittle his opponent since he is inactive for so many days and this might give effect to his fighting style and Akaho will dominate him. I consider this as a good match up between them since whoever wins for sure they can bring good honors and maybe they could get more bigger fight after this match.
Not just popularity but it's obvious that Casimero has all the advantages he has in this fight.
Akaho is not even considered a boxer that can harm a Casimero-level performance for let's say Casimero will be 100% healthy in that fight.
We are not underestimating Akaho but just saying the closest possibility that can happen in this match.
And it was an obvious easy pick for Casimero and his team, entering a new weight class, they should get a fighter that is tough but not going to be a big risk for them. And in paper Akaho beat a lot of PH boxers and maybe it was a good story that he will be facing another Filipino but this time though, it's world class.
So maybe Akaho thinks that Casimero will be his next victim, but this Pinoy is different, he has been a world champion.
And he can knock people with just one punch. And yes, all advantage goes to Casimero here so he should be good in this fight.
