For those who don't know, Casimero is suspended by JBC for fighting in Japan for one year because he was one kilogram overweight. This punishment was imposed due to Casimero's failure to make the required weight during his previous fight against Saul Sanchez, which had 122-pound limit for the super bantamweight division. This penalty seems harsh. Hopefully he can make the most of fight or get fight soon, as he's also getting older.
Japan dislikes Casimero because they believe Inoue can't beat him, and they made it look legit by suspending Casimero for a year, so he couldn’t fight in Japan. It’s kind of funny because, in the past, they gave Nery a lifetime ban, but when they saw the chance that Inoue could fight him since he’s easier to beat, they suddenly lifted the ban.

And then...
Boxing News: Japanese Boxing Commission Lifts Ban on Luis Nery Amid Naoya Inoue Fight RumorsI'm also under the impression that Japan might not like Casimero at all because of his taunting to Inoue. But I guess in their own ruling, if a boxer fight in their country and can't make the desired weight, then he should be punished and be suspended in Japan and that's what they do here.
They’re really trying to make Inoue look like a world-class fighter, even making him the number 1 pound-for-pound, but most of his fights have been in Japan. There’s no doubt about his power and speed, but maybe it’s time for him to challenge tougher opponents. If he can’t fight Casimero, he should move up in weight since he’s been in the same division for so long and already became undisputed.
What’s the point of playing it safe? He calls himself the "monster," so he shouldn’t fear anyone.
And if we fans can vote as to who is Casimero's next fight, it will be obviously, Inoue. Second choice will be Luis Nery, I agree that Nery is also a heavy puncher himself so a fight with Casimero, we might see someone going into the canvass or the fight ending in a knockout. But since this is Casimero's last fight with his Japanese promoters and there are no news that he will be sign again, then we really don't know what will happen to his career for now.
I hope something positive happens for him. After that big win and not being able to fight in Japan for a year, he should really take his business elsewhere, maybe fight in the US again and face some real challenges there.
Also, it reminded me, if you followed the Mayweather and Marquez fight, do you remember that at the weigh-in, Mayweather was over the limit? That gave him an easy win against Marquez, but was Mayweather suspended after that? Nope.
