And it now happened, WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Marlon Tapales might now be the PH boxer who has the chance to face Naoya Inoue first, instead of the expectation of the majority, that it's Casimero who is currently still climbing the 122 division rankings. Of course, Tapales meeting Inoue soon will just happen if the latter will win against Fulton.

If Stephen Fulton wins against Naoya Inoue, Marlon Tapales instead will unify his belt against him. If Fulton still wins, Tapales might meet Inoue as both will be a contender but the status of Casimero when that time comes might still be hanging because he can't even secure a big fight "for now" to somehow give him a chance to climb at a much higher rank.

There's also a possibility that later in the 122 division, a PH vs PH might face each other.

Well then, too early for these speculations mine

. What matter here is, Tapales is now almost secured to have the next big fight on his timeline.

What you're saying is not entirely impossible mate because as long as Casimero will stay active and have successive fights, soon enough, his ranking will surely increase and most probably will earn himself a big fight someday. Although there might be some changes when it comes to the possible opponent of Casimero, Inoue and Tapales because I think Fulton will shuffle all the cards in time when he leaves the division and vacates the belt he is possessing, if he won his future fight with Inoue.

If Fulton will win and Inoue will stay on this current division, the chance of seeing Casimero vs Inoue might take place,
it's possible since the belt will be vacant once Fulton move up.

Though if ever Inoue will win, then the chance to see Tapales to be his next target is possible by knowing Inoue, he wanted
to unify all belts.

Let see what would be the outcome first from this upcoming fight next month.

There are some boxers who are way ahead of Casimero and are much rightful to be named as one of the contenders of the vacated belt, considering that Inoue lost the fight and the belts is now vacated by Fulton. But just like what is happening in other divisions, an Inoue vs Casimero might take place although it's not that guaranteed because of the reason that I've mentioned but Top Rank might select Casimero during the process while it's not that risky for their boxer compared to when Inoue is the champion.

i don't understand why people are shoving the idea that casimero will face inoue that fast, even if inoue will lose to fulton. still a long way to go to face inoue. and if inoue wins, such fight will still be a long journey to make.
casimero though he won his last fight has a lot to prove before his showdown with inoue will finally happen. but casimero can always aim to fight inoue in the future. so long he is serious with every fight he will go to by always keeping up with the division requirements.

Maybe we just want to see them fight, simply as that. And because during the height of Casimero's steamrolling and becoming a champion of WBO at 118 lbs, and we thought that he could be a good match against the Monster and we almost see this fight happening if not for Casimero's weight issues.

And now that Casimero also campaigns at 122 lbs, we are still intrigue with this fight and that's why we are still calling for it. Nevertheless, it might be a difficult road for Casimero as he still needs to make a name for himself at super bantamweight. His fight here although he won, is against unknown fighters. So he needs to fight a rank boxer in order to be recognized again.
