the comments I've been reading about this fight are making me laugh a lot, honestly I asked myself: "what was that about?". I mean, at least for me, Casimero was supposed to win easily in the first or second round and by knockout, but it's unbelievable that Casimiro didn't manage to win by knockout, he showed tiredness in the last rounds, he showed that he wouldn't be able to hold on any longer if the If the fight lasted much longer, Casimero would lose, he doesn't have more resistance than Nghitumbwa, without a doubt that with Casimiro's slow style, his bad performance, he's not on Inoue's level
When I look at this fight, I think about the following: Nghitumbwa doesn't have the good financial conditions that Casimiro has to have the best physical trainers, coaches, marketing agents, he doesn't have the whole system that top fighters or famous international fighters have , but he showed that even with his limited conditions he can fight on equal terms with an international fighter, I think that if Nghitumbwa gets a good physical trainer, coach and all the good financial conditions that international athletes have then he will easily beat Casimero and many top fighters, Fillipus Nghitumbwa is 27 years old and has good potential, he is a rough diamond that if he is well polished can go very far
I have to agree to what you have said above, Team Quadro Alas may have underestimated Nghiyumbwa because of his lack of experience in fighting overseas and that might be the result of Casimero's overconfidence. Kudos to Nghitumbwa for giving Casimero a very competitive fight, he could have not continued after that knockdown in the sixth but he showed resilience and toughness that he could stand up after that scary knockdown.
Styles make a fight that we can't say that Casimero is on not Inoue's level but definitely the latter will be the heavy favorite once they face in the ring and once that happen i know that Casimero's training will be much different that his preparation against Nghitumbwa.
Congrats to all who bet for Casimero via decision, that was a very good odds.
