We also have to consider the quality of opponents Casimero has face in the past as compare to Akaho.
Akaho has failed in this two world championship attempts, while Casimero has been tearing the bantamweight leading to the failed fight against Paul Butler. And John Riel is the younger of the two, the road warrior but obviously the experience goes to Akaho as he has been professional boxers for 17 years as to Casimero's 15. But again as I have said, the key difference is the opponents that they have fought and so I think this is the big advantage for John Riel Casimero to win impressively.
That's the only advantage I see on Akaho, but overall, maybe 80% advantages goes to Casimero. I hope he is still the same, the hunger to win should still be there so he will beat Akaho impressively, the best way to win is via KO and that should be his goal in this fight.
Yeah, but being a road warrior like Casimero, who have traveled 5 continents to defend or get the belt from the home town champion? That is already a big experience in his belt, so to speak.
And I do agree that if he wanted to impressive everyone, including rank and the champion in this division, is to win a knockout, at least like giving the rest of the 122 lbs that he is ready in this division and willing to face anyone and that they are going to get knock out as well.
Sending a signal to gain the attentions of everyone especially the promoters, if he will win that way he will get decent hype under his name, we know him as he really love playing with fame, he might call someone's name once he got the interview. Or he might do something that will gather the fans' support to bring him to a money fight or a negotiation for a title fight.
But, for us to discuss his next fight, we need to see him first, winning this match with an impressive outcome.
By doing that, he will make his step earn an extra one, then we never know what will be the next in his story line.
