Is this correct? The Philippines currently holds no boxing championship at all? This is one of those things that seems completely unbelievable, now it possible this is just bad luck but it is still impressive, because the success of Pacquiao was so incredible that I am sure that many young people at Philippines have tried to emulate him, so I would guess there are a lot of people wanting to become professional boxers, so even if bad luck was involved there must be something else at work as well, and most likely a lack of support for the sport could be the most likely explanation for what it is happening.
If I am not wrong with the record that I have seen online I think the Philippines is currently just Holding 1 belt, and that is non-other than Quadro Alas John Riel Casimero holding the WBO World Bantamweight Title that is why he badly needed a fight as long as he can still fight inside the ring, for me that Naoya Inoue fight is a risk for John Riel Casimero for now, I think he needs to get easy title fights for him to surely solidify him having multiple title belts,
Is that from Wiki? If it is then they are not updated anymore.
All Bantamweight belt was being held by Naoya Inoue now. So what Silberman said might be real, the Philippines currently doesn't hold any boxing belts.
Well, that's frustrating as a Filipino. We are known to be good at the sport so maybe the government should be looking at supporting more boxers and giving them the right funds to be back taking more belts like how PacMan did it.
A possibility is still a possibility maybe he is afraid of John Riel Casimero or even mocking him at some point but for me, Naoya Inoue is a great threat to Casimero but the same goes for Inoue Casimero is a threat to him as well that is why it is a great fight to watch when it is fulfilled but for now, if John Riel Casimero can get the big fights or could ever get a fight that he can gain a belt then it is still a good thing so if they would fight that will be the 1 time that John Riel Casimero is the only one that makes a mark on Naoya Inoue boxing records, for me that will be the greatest achievement,
I heard differently from Inoue's side, he might really push it to go at a higher weight. I mean, he doesn't have anything to prove in his weight class anymore. Time to try if he can also dominate the next class.
