Money wise, Haney should take this fight instead of moving up. I mean, knowing how fans are eager to see Loma challenging the belt holder, for sure it can easily be sold to all those fans who are waiting for this fight to take place. Though it's still Haney's camp to decide whether to negotiate and sign this mandatory fight or to move up and find another alternative to avoid fighting.

All will be decided when both camps signed the deal and the promoters start to market the fight between these two top fighters.

Maybe it's the ring rust and of course, his mindset isn't 100% due to the war. Also, Vassily Lomachenko is already in his mid-30s, his IQ is still there but his physical abilities is starting to decline and he isn't the guy that has 1 punch KO that scares opponents. Maybe Loma is saving some of his techniques so Haney cannot figure it out. Haney won't duck Loma because it is the WBO mandatory unless he is moving up in weight which might be an option since he did struggle in weight during his rematch with Kambosos. 

I really don't expect much from Vasiliy Lomachenko that much and even though the fight did not end viciously I really  think he doesn't need to do something like that or maybe he is hiding what he can truly do with Ortiz so some opponent will not evade him to fight I really think some boxer will not really play his ace card inside the ring or I may be wrong or he isn't really vicious enough,


Yup! it was really frustrating and all the promoters of that event say that Casimero really did a Rabbit punch upon reviewing the video, they all know that Casimero is pretty much dominated the whole fight, but they surely think of throwing the towel off Akaho because he can not get up anymore but in doing this pretty much Akaho would also suggest that he had lost the fight but instead the time ended for the 2nd round so the fight was a no contest and the referee announced that it was a punch on the back of the head of Akaho but the promoters don't really know what to do but the judge will be the referee in charge that is why they can not change the given decision towards the fight,

What have to happen many were in disbelief and were really upset about it pretty much many people not only in the Filipino community but other countries have found that Casimero was the one that win that fight, but sad to say the decision can not be changed but because of this incident and upon seeing the boxing record site John Riel Casimero's rating just only increase and Ryo Akaho's rating decreases and many promoters just want Casimero so it is still a win for him,

No doubt about his capabilities in his new division, with what we've seen from that last fight. Casimero really bring the entertainment.
to his fans and all those viewers who supported the fight.

It's just Akaho who kills the enjoyment with how he reacts, that kind of gestures humiliate him in front of all the people who watched the fight.

He should continue and be a real fighter who is ready to do whatever will happen. If he can't hold, then let Casimero win the fight.

I have an interesting news that I want to share

It seems here that Lomachenko has to wait another couple of months before he can have a showdown with the undisputed champion, Devin Haney.

https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/12/devin-haney-vs-shakur-stevenson-agree-to-move-lomachenko-to-the-side/

As we all know Shakur just recently declared that he will climb the next division because he cannot shrink his weight anymore to contest a fight on 130 lbs and so up to this date, he haven't got any fights yet in the lightweight division. If this deal will really go through. Shakur will be having a huge leap because he will be fighting the undispute champion directly.

What do you think guys? Will Bob Arum agree put a side a money-fight (Haney-Loma) just because Haney and his camp wanted to fight Stevenson first?

Yes, hopefully the Japanese officials will be looking on this issue because the Akaho-Casimero incident will reflect in their boxing community. It's really quite unfair for Casimero's side, hopefully Akaho will get what he deserved for pulling that kind of stunt. On the bright side, Casimero made an evident message that he is indeed back and healthy. For this one, I expect that he will surface again somewhere early next year and have another fight.

So far I haven't heard any news if the results will be overturn by the South Korean boxing or what.

But it doesn't change everything in our eyes, Akaho just acted that he was hurt and even falling down in the canvass to exaggerate that he was hurt but it seems that he is not. And the good thing is that Casimero is not the one receiving the criticism but his opponent so that is a plus factor for him already. Pound for pound, Casimero is still strong in his new weight class no doubt about it.

And that's the truth behind all that after they looked at the replay slow-mo.
But an official cannot continue a fight if the other boxer is not willing to continue, biased or not he had no choice, acting job or not it should be stopped. Now, all of this will be up to the WBO if they think Akaho is faking it.
It was held in South Korea but it was the Japanese boxing promotion who did it, I just wish they won't intervene in the investigation if ever there is one.

I understand, and maybe we just held up our bars up too high and expect that Loma will be so vicious on his return in the ring. Apart from that, I also expect that he will send a strong message to his future opponents that he is back on business, but I guess we haven't had that impression when he fought against Ortiz.

Anyway, I'm inclined to give him a room for improvement because he just got off from the war and maybe this time will be much more different because there will be a title on the line. Looking forward to see that Loma will fight Haney next.

That is why after the fight Tyson Fury confronted Chisora right away and some talked about their fight while eating Burger, and a sad truth to this is we can see their nearly closed eye of Chisora and multiple damage to the face while Tyson Fury is just chilling and eating his burger, and notable here is that Derek Chisora has said that he will not enjoy the burger because his jaw was really hurt, something many will surely notice that Chisora has sustain much damage than expected and he is lucky that the referee had immediately seen this to stop the fight,

Boubacar Sylla VS Javier Mayoral
Robert Rodriguez VS Jose Lopez

All information was from TAPOLOGY

It's pro Japanese because obviously it was held in their country, he give Akaho everything, like the rest, and that early knockdown which should not be called.

However, there is no 'hit behind the back' punch, it just grazed Akaho. Akaho doesn't want to fight Casimero simply as that. He felt Casimero's power and doesn't want none of that in his face and knock him down in his career.

Not sure if they will over turn the rule here.

It is obvious that the referee favors Akaho. The referee declared an illegal shot and halt the fight when he saw that Akaho is hurt and is in trouble, even gave Akaho time to rest and eventually consult the officiating body, and declared the fight as no contest.  While if we look earlier of that round,  the referee called a knockdown on Casimero when it is clear that the punch landed at the back of the head.  The referee doesn't call the punch illegal, don't give Casimero a rest, and even called it a knockdown.  If we think of it, that pretty much tell where the referee sided.

The stoppage I think is great probably saved Akaho from possible severe injury.  Life is way more than any entertainment in sport but the decision of no contest is plain robbery.  Since the controversial non-contest result is  being reviewed by the higher ups, I hope they change the decision in favor of Casimero.

Just sad to see Casimero given this verdict because he had prepared for this fight for months and put all his efforts to get his name through the ranks in the super bantamweight. All those efforts and time just to fight a selfish boxer who haven't had the face to admit that he lost the fight because Casimero is too good for him. I bet he is now heavily criticized in Japan because of the move he made.

A fan who had a good point on their recent fight, we all have the same view about what happened and I'd say that Casimero was really robbed of his win just because Ryo Akaho's unprofessionalism. A warning is the correct verdict at first because if we look closely, it wasn't a direct hit nor did Casimero intentionally did that and the referee should thought about it well before he declared the fight as a "no contest".

it was visible that tyson fury dominated the fight from the beginning of the fight until the end of the fight, he was breaking Chisora, in the seventh round it was visible that chisora's right eye was closing and his mouth was cut but despite the warning from the referee chisora didn't give up and was stubborn to continue the fight, but with nine seconds of the tenth round the referee ended the fight that looked more like a massacre against chisora, now we'll see if the champion will face Oleksandr Usyk

They should because they will lose their credibility if they will always be criticized by the fans. The world is watching, and some of the fans are already educated about the rules of boxing, so they cannot escape from us if they will try to rig the fight. About this specific fight, Casimero might have hit Akaho on the back of the head but they should have given him a warning and will not allow Akaho to take the drama, but since I'm just a fan, I would just share my thoughts.

Casimero, as we know him, he always put his all in each fight that he will be engaged. We all see how the fight goes and that decision from the ref and officials. We might not have that early conclusion, but with how social media works now, the chance that the decision might be changed is really possible.

If the pressures from the fans will continue and with the power of social media, the organization may step forward and review the outcome. For now, Casimero needs to wait for his camp to negotiate and find another fight.

With his performance, he's comfortable and his winning chance from this new division is high.

I don't even know what to say after watching the replay. He was given the full length to rest and yet he says he cannot fight anymore. While on the other hand, it should be Casimero who should be saying that.
Boxing management should take a closer look at this event.
Anyway, this is another disappointment for him. He had not been in a match for so long and now it ended in a no-contest fight.
How much time will it take again before he can get into another fight? I bet it will be long and clocks ticking for him as he is not getting any younger.

I agree! Why prolonged the fight if he can manage to knock out Chisora early, many are in disbelief that the referee has stopped the fight early but after seeing the whole footage and the backstage when Tyson confronts Chisora for a burger you can see the damage on Chisora's face it was swollen and you can see from that damage on Chisora's face that the referee was right all along that he halted the fight, Derek Chisora also had said that he can not enjoy the burger because his jaw hurts, and surely maybe Tyson Fury was really just chilling and pretty much just controlling the power of his punches,



It was really good news that the official is taking a review on changing the result of the fight and it was clear that it was a win for John Riel Casimero, it was a bad decision for the referee to make bad calls like that and now he is on hot water because of this fight and Ryo Akaho is getting some Criticism on the Japanese community as well that he was not the one that wins and he acted his way to victory, and team Casimero was right that they should review the footage, and many staff on the event has shown pictures and videos on their shot that it was just a scratch on Akaho's back of the head, and that is why I am furious because on how he acted his way out, many have seen Ryo Akaho's interviews that was posted on an article in japan that Akaho doesn't know if he was sitting of standing anymore, his mind was blank on what he was feeling, that means he was really hurt not because of the punch on the back of the head, but because his jaw really was hurt, this is proven many that have seen the fight and the good news is there is a huge chance that the officials will be in favor for Casimero

well, the technology doesn't lie. they can always review the recordings at all angles and see if Akaho was indeed telling the truth of being hurt or who's fault it was. this is the advantage of recordings, they can enlarge that angle and see what really happened. they should at least be fair on validating the results of this fight. we are seeing that casimero is now serious in going up with the weight division. so  let's see if there will be new updates in the coming days. or they will just be mum about the decision.
