On Inoue's next fight, there is no one. This Sam Goodman cannot offer anything for Inoue. There is no money, there is no hype and there is no legacy. Figueroa should be his next fight and this should be in Las Vegas.
Casimero has nothing on the table for Ioue to take and if they have to fight that must happen this year as Casimero is getting older and looking at his practice, seems to me that he lost a step and i don't think he can defeat the prime Inoue.
In an interview, Inoue said that he won't go up in weight to fight somebody for the money and no need to be recognized in the US as he is very popular in Japan and the money offered in his current division is the same in Las Vegas and he is contented with it so i think we won't see Inoue fighting in Vegas sooner.
I am sorry for the fans of Casimero. I am not a fan of him and his type of trashtalking, however, I have always argued for him being a good boxer.
On Inoue being satisfied to only fight in Japan, this is very disheartening. However, this is also okay and we should accept because not much boxers are special types of people who can move the world and create legacy. He does not have the inspiration of Pacman. Inoue is a very good boxer but he is only a boxer.
That maybe describe what his career is or at least what kind of boxer Casimero is, good but not that elite as compare to Inoue. He could have the power in 118 lbs, but when he move up he is a different fighter.
But I do agree, American audiences deserved to see him fight specially now that he is a pound for pound fighter. He can't just hide from the fact that he can make money in Japan. At least he should treat as in the States for a great fight so why not go and travel to the US? It really baffles me as well.
