There are a lot of fans waiting for someone to knock Inoue out. But even if we want to see that happen someday, if he's on his prime and he don't want to accept offers outside his home country then we just better accept the fact that he's always at advantage.
For fighters like Casimero, it doesn't matter if he's gonna have the fight inside or outside the host country. What matters to him is that he should fight him soon. Well, he's been mentioned by the Inoue's camp that he's likely to get boxed at the end of this year.
But it's still a long time and we'll see the development of it.
I think Inoue is about in his prime at this stage, in his 30's and we all know that is the age wherein boxer are really performing at a high level and so it's really hard to see how someone can beat Inoue even John Riel Casimero, who is about to hit his sunset at he is in the mid 30's if I'm not mistaken. And perhaps this is the reason why he keep on calling Inoue because he knows that in the next couple of years, he will be in the decline. Unfortunately, he has nothing to offer to Inoue, he doesn't have the belt, all his wins in 122 lbs are not that convincing. While Nery has been campaigning here for years and in the top of the division and correct me if I'm wrong, he is the mandatory challenger for one of Inoue's belt and that's why they said that they are going to fight him first after winning all the belts at super bantam.
What's just good with Casimero is that he is persistent and have it on his mind that he's going to beat Inoue. That's actually the spirit of a boxer and from a champion, Inoue knows best and he's unbeatable at the moment.
No reasons or excuses that need to be made and at the same time, this is just pure business for both ends. If given the chance that Casimero is able to box Inoue.
I'm sure that both of them are going to give their best but I am on the side of Inoue still because the fighting style of Casimero will easily be stomped by Inoue's rythm and power.
