You've got a point there; it seems the hype around Casimero wasn't matched by his performance, and it's hard to see him matching up against Inoue successfully. It's pretty funny that he jokingly called Inoue his best friend in an interview before the fight.
A rematch might be possible, but it doesn't look all that likely. It's not exactly a high-profile bout, and I think Casimero might be better off moving up to face a tougher challenger, like Nery. However, beating Nery could be a tougher nut to crack than Oguni, for sure.
Casimero is self-destructing, or he is deteriorating. His promoters are spending a lot of money only to give that kind of performance for is not acceptable. He was training hard but i think he needs a legit trainer now, not just rely on his brother as this might end his career abruptly.
He was supposed to look good in this fight but it seems he was revealed, i mean how can he call out Inoue if he kept on getting that kind of sub-par performance? A rematch is unlikely because the aim here is to get higher ranking in every fight won so i think Nery could be a good fight if his promoters can secure that.
Right from the get-go, it seemed like Casimero was off-balance, and he lost some of his speed. It appeared as if he was eager to finish the fight early with a knockout, which might have caused him to tire out. This strategy didn't work out so well, especially since his opponent had a strong chin and absorbed many good counter punches while continuing the fight.
It's definitely a draw, and I'm sure quite a few of us were hoping for a KO or a clear win by decision for Casimero.
Now, it makes me curious what was the odds for draw, isn't it x100?
