I think they didn't do some cherry-pick here because, in the first place, Casimero is not yet eligible to face the current Top 10 and promoters might not be interested in doing so. Since Akaho is currently on a winning streak against PH Boxers, it's an opportunity for him to defeat again another PH boxer although Casimero is on a different level as he is a former world champion in the Bantamweight.

Moving forward, a fight at 122 lbs shouldn't be a problem for Casimero as that was his usual weight now. The fight will take place in the upcoming weekend and we will now witness if Casimero can still be deadly in the ring after being on hiatus for over a year.
