I am still not so sure if Inoue will be interested again. Casimero has been just a downhill for years now and unless he does something extremely impressive I don’t see Inoue’s camp even giving as much as a glance to Casimero.
If he KO’s his opponent, wouldn’t that be impressive?
Yes, it will be very impressive of him if he will knockout Sanchez here, as I have said, we need something from Casimero so at least he will be still be as great boxer at 122 lbs and could be a champion.
Maybe Inoue never really intended to fight Casimero, even if Casimero racks up impressive wins, because from the start, he’s been avoiding the fight. If Inoue really wanted it, they should have pushed through back in the bantamweight division. Their first fight got canceled, so once things were back on track after the covid times, he should’ve realized the opportunity.
Casimero’s fans seem to be really believing their own narrative though. They still think Inoue is just scared of Casimero hence why they never fought. If this kind of narrative comes up again after Casimero wins then Inoue might want to prove people wrong.
I’m a Casimero fan, so I might be a bit biased, but I honestly believe Inoue is scared of him. (Just trying to keep it real.)
They have a chance to fight before, but we all know what happens to Casimero then. And they both move up to 122 lbs, however, Casimero as we have said, seems to be very unlucky as his fight ended in controversial fashion.
And as reported, Inoue is moving up in weight next year, at featherweight and we might not have a chance to see him and Inoue fight in the ring as I doubt that Casimero can go to 126 lbs. Plus remember that Casimero is 35 years old already, age when fighters started to decline. IMHO.
