Meanwhile, the WBC mandated 122 WBO/WBC champ Stephen Fulton to rematch Brandon Figueroa at 126 for the WBC interim belt. Should Fulton accepts the mandate, his 2 122 belts might become vacant which is a good opportunity for Casimero and even for Inoue. Maybe Casimero and Inoue will fight for a vacant belt right away.

This is good news for both Inoue and Casimero as they have vacant belts which they can look forward to even if they don't meet right away.

I hope this will happen, for sure Inoue will go for that belt and if Casimero will be the best challenger for him, that would make the fight perfect as their supposed fight did not happen in the bantamweight division but it will happen in a heavier division. I'm looking forward to this, let us keep updated on this news, and thanks for sharing by the way.

Guess if that is the case, it's better if Casimero will have the belt in 122 lbs before eventually facing Inoue. Because both could really be motivated to take each other heads off, Casimero again calling for Inoue and if everything went as plan, (him winning against Akaho, Fulton vacating his belt, and then Casimero getting a chance to get a title or eliminator). So lot of good opportunity for Casimero, he just need to take this 1st step of getting a win in this division.

I know that what characterizes a boxer is his self-esteem and his way of always being very positive showing confidence, I don't know if he called Inoue to gain more fame and encourage fans to ask for this fight, and although this could be very good fight, Casimero has to come out very well from the one that he has previously, it is not good sometimes to assume that he will win in any way, for me it is a very high risk that he can make a statement like that, because in a nutshell, he is telling the world that He will win this fight without having won it yet, because in the event that he loses the fight, then the challenge to Inoue will simply not make any sense, at least I see it that way.

Well, I also think that Casimero could be the favorite, there are some boxing forums, under which I read them almost every day, and many Latinos obviously go to Casimero, Akaho is a boxer who can offer a very different style from that of Casimero, obviously what it could be that Casimero is very careful because I think that the one who has the most to lose here for anything is him, from Akaho, as he had said before, he felt very underestimated, because Casimero said that he wanted to after this fight, going for Inoue, practically what he did was say that he would win easily without effort, I think he got into a little trouble.

I agree with you that Casimero has the most to lose here but i also think that he can withstand this hurdle and ultimately win this fight.

I read an article where one of Philippine's boxing analyst said that this fight is a mismatch for Casimero and he said that Akaho's style is tailor-fit for Quadro Alas for the latter to look good in the ring.

Akaho's game plan would be to box and threw those jabs but i don't think that he can sustain that all night and keep Casimero at bay because Casimero is very good at cutting the distance and if he did close the gap, the fight will be over.

Yes, in that you are absolutely right, now if Akaho had his mind to win, I think his desire increased much more, and that is detrimental to Casimero, really a boxer sometimes has to keep his mouth shut, sometimes an act like those who underestimate is a double-edged sword, sometimes it is not good, no matter how much confidence you have in your technique, things cannot be done that way, here Akho must be training much harder than before, and with all the reason, I would also do it to silence him, you cannot be challenging another boxer by hinting that the one you are going to fight has already won that fight, I think that here Akaho can give serious surprises.
