^^ For sure, Casimero is going after Inoue but he has to wait, and all he can do right now is call him through his social media accounts and it's obvious that it's just for publicity stunt as he knows that his time is running out.

Inoue is scheduled to fight Nery and then another boxer that Tapales has beaten already. And only after that Casimero might get his chance, but still up to Inoue as Casimero's name is somewhat in the middle as far as super bantamweight goes as he is no longer a champion, so he has no leverage but to create a hype and call Inoue in his social media for publicity.

casimero is not a big boxer and not a top boxer. and only from the philippines not the USA. so it will be difficult to fight inoue. not because of his boxing quality but promoters need big names so that their boxing events can generate large profits and a lot. if inoue is of course whoever the opponent is offered by the promoter must be served. if the promoter doesn't want it, it's hard for a fight to happen.

If Casimero really has an influence and can have positive impact on Inoue efforts to get more titles then it is possible that their fight will really be hot fight.
But this still looks quite unlikely because Inoue has target of getting an opponent who could have much greater influence on his achievements.

Inoue will indeed face Nery and of course Nery will be much more dangerous than Tapales, this will be more difficult fight for Inoue.
It just that we don't know whether after the fight against Nery there will be an opportunity for meeting between Inoue and Casimero because there is possibility that Inoue could move up to featherweight and fight great fighters there such as Rey Vargas and Luis Lopez.
I think Casimero chance of meeting Inoue depends on the outcome of Inoue fight against Nery.

I think Casimero deserve to fight against Inoue, if not only beacuse of the ranking of Casimero, he for sure is the best opponent of Inoue that could potentially beat the Beast. We all know what happen to Casimero, he didn't lose to a fighter, he just made a mistake that's why he was stripped with his belt. So with that, I still think that Casimero is still a dangerous fighter that's why Inoue can't say yes to him.

Next could be Akhmadaliev as he is next in line, but who knows, if Inoue will skip him after Nery, the better, it's good for boxing, as no one would watch Inoue fighting a boxer that was already defeated by a champ he recently defeated. Inoue- Casimero, is more interesting to watch.

Yeah, people think that he's such an arrogant guy but they don't know that it could just be his appearance on his stance and videos to make people more angry at him and for him to chase the clout. I also seen people say that he can beat Inoue.

But just as the other fighters that have fought Inoue, good luck to him and prove it on the ring.

Good and Bad Publicity is surely good for the upcoming fight and John Riel Casimero knows this it will surely hype the fight even more, so yeah many would be curious about the fight the people will then want to watch it, and people that are solid fans of Casimero, people that are a solid fan of Inoue, and people that are mad over Casimero and vice versa mad on Inoue, they will surely go and watch the fight because they are curious and want to support whoever will win or lose, for sure if Casimero would lose aswell just like what happen to Donaire, Dasmariñas, and Tapales then it will be bad for Casimero's Career,

We've seen bunch of fighters that were good at barking but I understand why they've done that, so that there will be more fans that shall watch their fight and more tickets sold.

On this level of Inoue, it's just hard to think on how he can be beaten honestly.

It was all for a publicity stunt and sure John Riel Casimero knew what he was doing this was to hype the fight for sure, whether this was to get Naoya Inoue's attention sure all Casimero was doing was if he could get that fight he would surely hype it, and pretty much I am now curious aswell if he can do a better job than Donaire and Tapales, he would release another statement that he still wants to face Naoya Inoue and after Naoya's mandatory fight with Luis Nery and after that he says that their fight is good to go if Naoya Inoue camp still wants it,

^^ A lot of good fights indeed for this year. But it's hard to argue though for Inoue winning that coveted Boxer of the year nod against Crawford. Even Haney had a good year as well but they give the award to the Japanese.

Inoue deserves to win that award as he make his opponents look amateur, he simply just dominate unlike Haney and Crawford whom their opponent are really fighting with confidence. Inoue's opponent doesn't fight like that, they are only after for the money _{(most probably)} because when they are in the ring, all they can do is not to be careless so the fight will not end early, but eventually they still get KO in the end.

I think it's more about the opponent and how Inoue destroy them that got him the award for the Boxer of the year. And if I'm not mistaken, the Ring magazine is under the control of Oscar dela Hoya?

Not sure about the money though, I mean in those lower division is not that big, and maybe Inoue got the lion share on his fight against Fulton and Marlon Tapales as he is the A-side in that fight. But deserving though, him and Crawford could win that award and they are also the #1 and #2 p4p fighter right now.

With how the award has been given, maybe Inoue's name is more hype compared with Crawford, but in terms of opponents I'm pretty
sure that Spence Jr is heavier than Tapales and Fulton right? Hahaha

But, there's always a criteria and there's always influenced that matter, if they feel that Inoue is more deserving, then they gave it to him.

Crawford just need to continue and who knows, next ediion might be his time.

In terms of opposition though, I think Crawford is far known to the boxing community and specially on how he beat up one of the best boxer and in the top 3 of pound for pound list which is Spence. Tapales and Fulton is not even in the top 10 of that list and yet Ring magazine give more weight for Inoue's win against those.

But for me Spence should be awarded. They will have a rematch this year and most likely it will be another explosive fight and maybe this time if Crawford beat Spence again then he could be 2024's boxer of the year.

January 13, 2024. Videotron Center in Quebec City, Canada.
MAIN EVENT:
Artur Beterbiev versus Callum Smith - fighting for IBF, WBC and WBO light-heavyweight titles
Here are the odds for the fight.
Beterbiev - | Win @1.23 | By KO @1.50 | By Decision @4.60 |

Smith - | Win @3.95 | By KO @7.20 | By Decision @7.00 |
Obviously, Smith is a heavy underdog in this fight, might as well just take that "By KO" for Beterbiev because there's a high chance it will happen especially in the light heavyweight division.

Next is.
Jason Moloney versus Saul Sanchez - who are fighting for the WBO bantamweight title
Here are the odds.
Moloney - | Win @1.26 | By KO @3.65 | By Decision @1.70 |

Sanchez - | Win @3.60 | By KO @6.00 | By Decision @7.40 |
Moloney, I do remember he beat Vincent Astrolabia with a major decision. Well, that's why the "By Decision" bet was so low. I guess I am taking that.

Place your bets early guys, you might miss it. So who are your picks?

yes it was owned by him. Well, regarding the opponents of Inoue, it's very clear that he destroyed them all. Although his opponents aren't engaging anymore but he is still finding ways to win, and that later in the fight they will knock him out, so it's really impressive on how he showed his ring IQ, quickness, and power.

Obviously there's no much money in lower division compared to the higher division. And also, Inoue keep fighting in Japan, so we can't expect he'll beat the numbers that the greatest boxers had achieve during their pro, like Pacman and Mayweather.

For unification between Beterbiev and Bivol, another anticipated match this year and hopefully it will be pushed or happened. I think that the Saudis are interested of making this fight as well as they love both of this fighter. We will just have to wait for Beterbiev to beat Smith this weekend and maybe their managers are going to sit down and talk for unification at LHW.

So Naoya Inoue is named as Boxer of the Year by Ring Magazine.

Quote

Naoya Inoue has won Ring Magazine’s prestigious Fighter of the Year award for his 2023 campaign which saw the 30-year-old boxer-puncher soundly defeat then-undefeated WBC/WBO 122-pound titleholder Stephen Fulton in July and WBA/IBF 122-pound beltholder Marlon Tapales in December to earn The Ring’s vacant junior featherweight title and undisputed champion status.

https://www.ringtv.com/662824-naoya-inoue-is-the-rings-2023-fighter-of-the-year/

I personally thought that it should be Crawford, but as per Ring, the strength of Inoue's win against Fulton and Tapales is enough for him to get the nod. Yes it's true they are the number 1 and number 2 rank super bantamweight, but the biggest fight is Crawford vs Spence and how Crawford demolished Crawford when everyone thought that it could go either way or close fight. As compare to Inoue's win wherein we expect that he will steam roll this two, just a question on what round it will end.

Well, I am not against it. Naoya Inoue also went through rigorous training so that he could cement all those wins that he had. About Crawford, I think he is next to him and if Inoue had failed to unify all the titles in that second weight class that he entered, then I believe Crawford would get the Boxer of the Year title.
But, this is actually nothing compared to what they have achieved. Both boxers have proven that they are the undisputed and how I wish they would meet in the boxing ring while they are still in their prime. But that's still far and the weight class difference is gapped by a lot. I think that will be impossible especially if Inoue decides to stick with the Super Bantamweight.
But we have seen the impossible become possible and Manny Pacquiao is living proof of it. From the flyweight division climbing to the welterweight even at his height.
Maybe we will see more exciting opponents if Inoue will also try to climb the ladder. He should really try to go upward if he is looking for greater competition.

It's a competition between Naoya Inoue and Terrence Crawford for Ring Magazine's boxer of the year. But in the end, I can't blame those who awarded it to Inoue, I mean unification fight as well in the super bantamweight and the way he take them to pieces, as he faces other champion as well is amazing.

Nothing to be ashamed for Crawford as a runner up, this is another year so maybe his rematch with Spence and then another fight might could help his case again in 2024 for BOTY. Although there could be argument that it's not that important, what's important is that he cemented his legacy already.

I recognize that the contest to receive the award was an inch closer between the two divisions undisputed. But I likewise choose Crawford to win the Boxer of the Year. Crawford battled Spence, the more popular boxer than Fulton and Tapales. Crawford turned into two divisions undisputed and Inoue is just second but they did it around the same year.

A Crawford victory over Spence in a rematch this year does not, in my opinion, qualify him for Boxer of the Year. Another more merited match this year is Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for the heavyweight undisputed. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia is still up in the air to make an undisputed match between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev for all the light heavyweight championship belts.

crawford will have his own time. if he will continue to show his strengths and skills, there's nothing to worry about being named for this year. it is just a title. what matters most for me, is how a boxer is influencing the boxing world. also, as i mentioned earlier, they have their own time to claim such title.

Yeah, just continue fighting and winning, it's just a title but for sure once you recieved it you are recieving itwith pride, so Crawford needs to keep working on how he will keep his belts and face those challenger, on the other side, Inoue gain the attention as he manage to climb up and unifies all the belts from the new division he enter.

Let see this year if who's going to shine there are many exiciting fights that may be setup for the fans, it's just the timing for the promoters to bring money on the table.

There was a lot of controversy surrounding this fight because of the early stoppage. Tony Weeks has had some questionable moments before like when he allowed Andre Ward to low blow Sergey Kovalev multiple times which led to a TKO. He also stepped in too early when Rolly Romero was losing on the scorecards but he was gifted a stoppage win against Ismael Barroso. It can't be a coincidence that all these controversial stoppages always favor the A-side fighter.

It was really unusual to see a much older man recking those young guns as if he were their master. He can easily beat them because they were underestimating him and that's not gonna make any change in how skillful he was when it came to showing them his skills in boxing the result was outstanding with the 1st round stoppage, his face is all over my social media. because you don't often see such kind of scenario and the reason why he's still there in the ring is he can actually give them problems once they start to underestimate him because the old man outside has once of the most powerful punch in the sport of boxing.

Drama alert…

Ryan Garcia divorced his wife one hour after their child was born. I haven’t heard any reason why, but speculation on the internet is that the baby came out looking very much not like Ryan Garcia… I guess we’ll have to wait to learn the truth, but that’s a wild story.

You're wrong. Here's the photo of the child and he's going to get Ryan's name. It's his kid.

After reading some articles about it I came to a conclusion that they were preparing for a divorce for months and she got pregnant during that period. I believe the child was unplanned since they wanted to split up, but after the news came out, they agreed to do it after the birth.

Back to the topic, his next fight is going to be Romero or Haney.

Hard to comment on what's going on with Ryan's personal life.

But yes, back to topic, there are photos of him and Mayweather lately doing some training, like light jogging and maybe some sparring sessions. So he might be hooking with the legendary boxer and maybe try to get the insights of him brain.

Not saying that Ryan will be like Mayweather or something, but it's good for him to have a mentor like Floyd, just saying. It will be good if him and Haney will be fighting next, they have been rivals in the 135 lbs but we haven't seen fight fight at that division. Maybe the best fight for them is as 140 lbs with no rehydration clause or no issue about the weight.

That is perfect for him preparing with the amazing Mayweather. Ryan was terrible in his last match copying the Philly Shell. Mayweather can teach and show him the proper execution. He can request Mayweather to be his mentor in his next battle.

I am not certain about Ryan being matched with Haney next. Is Ryan prepared for this sort of challenge? In any case, I will be rooting for Ryan if he battles Haney next. Ryan can knock out any boxer in the ring, but it will be extremely difficult if Haney is the boxer in front of him. I suggest the promoters match Ryan and Romero because the two boxers are not defensive and are going hurt one another and that will fulfill the fans wishes.
