I never realized that. I thought this fight was a main event because of the match poster on the OP. anyway, that is quite a drop for him. The guy really needs to prove himself if he wants Inoue's camp attention, right now he is nothing to them but a noise in the background wanting their attention.
Although we know Casimero is famous, unfortunately, his ranking in the super bantamweight division isn’t that great, so this won’t be a main event. We could call this another opportunity for him to get a solid win. As he mentioned, he believes he can knock out Sanchez, so let’s see how it goes.
But if he does manage to knock him out, do you think Inoue will finally agree to fight him, or will he avoid him again?
I do agree, it's because of the name of Casimero that's why this could be a main card. But regardless though, it could be the main card if Casimero is really winning in a very impressive way, but so far, at 122 lbs, he didn't give us the show that we wanted. And for sure, others might not have followed his career before at bantamweight when he is just destroying his opponent and become a world champion. And then we just caught up with him when his name pops up as the potential mega fight for Naoya when Casimero still has the WBO belt.
He will always says that he will knockout his opponent, but again, so far, his performance is way below that what we expect from a fighter like John Riel. He is a show off, and we love him for that. However, he will have to produce a knockout win here so that his career will continue and fans wanting more fights from him.
