And now that Casimero also campaigns at 122 lbs, we are still intrigue with this fight and that's why we are still calling for it. Nevertheless, it might be a difficult road for Casimero as he still needs to make a name for himself at super bantamweight. His fight here although he won, is against unknown fighters. So he needs to fight a rank boxer in order to be recognized again.

His time will eventually come if he does not quit. Knowing how good he is, as long as the opportunity knocks, he is willing to grab it. I believe he is still in his prime. At his current age, he can still become a champion again. Let's wait for the outcome of this fight and see the potential fights for Casimero in that division.

Casimero is a fairly well-known boxer and has won several titles in his class, even for the Batam WBO class he has his belt from 2019 to 2022.
He will be the favorite fighter in this fight.
I think he's not too old, so his stamina is still good enough to become a champion, his record is quite good where he got 33 wins 22 KO.

Well, let's see hopefully he can fight as we hope.

This is the fight between Fulton and Inoue, and if we see Casimero having a chance to fight in the future, we should expect that he will not be the favorite if he becomes the challenger to either Inoue or Fulton. However, as a bettor, I would be glad to bet on him because I believe he is very hungry for a win and to be recognized as one of the best boxers of his generation. It's more like his last chance to prove himself to the world, and I'm riding with that.

We should, if Casimero can still remain active and relevant in the next 2 years, we might say that he has a good chance to bet Inoue eventhough he would be a huge underdog in that fight.

The thing with Casimero is not he is not backing down to any challenge. Although right now he seems to be on the way to maybe a crack on a belt in any organization at the super bantamweight, any of those current champions right now. But we love to see him and Inoue getting into the ring, at least for the belt so that we can see how good Inoue is.

The closest that we can see the odds in my opinion is Tapales, another good Filipino boxer. So the plan is as we have heard is that the winner of this fight, vs Marlon Tapales next for unification.

So if that happens then we can compare at least what will be the odds for Casimero. As if we are just changing the name of Tapales here. So before we talk about Casimero vs Inoue or Fulton, we will see first Tapales vs Inoue or Fulton and I think it will be a great fight although going to be very hard for the Filipino as he needed all the tools to beat either boxer.

Me as well, I would be happy to bet for him knowing that he will do everything just to prove that he's the best fighter and it might be
the only chance that he got to reach that goal.

Though still far from as he need to keep winning to impress the organization and have that exposure to be the best challenger to whoever
win and give him that opportunity.

^^ That's true, all the hype is coming from the camp of Casimero that they are the one who is going to beat the champion in Inoue. But it's a foregone conclusion now, it's their own wrongdoings that's why the fight didn't happen. So he needs more hype again, I was just hoping that him and Nery will be a eliminator or someone in the WBO rankings.

Probably Tapales being the first Filipino to fight for a unified belt? not sure about it, but I do agree that it will be a very hard road for Marlon. If he was able to upset Akhmadaliev, the story might be different with Inoue or Fulton by chance.

Inoue will be a heavy favorite if there is a chance that he will face Casimero. Casimero just needs to stay active if he wants to get his title shot ASAP. A Casimero-Nery fight would be good but I also believe that Casimero will be the underdog.

We would love to but in reality, it is hard to imagine Tapales winning against Inoue. Inoue might be too quick, too strong, and too powerful for Tapales. Tapales has a better chance of becoming undisputed against Fulton. Fulton has high boxing skills but there are numerous times when he exchanged punches even if he is not heavy-handed and Tapales might be able to outslug him. Anyways, whoever is Tapales' next opponent, he needs to train hard and stay focused.

And it now happened, WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Marlon Tapales might now be the PH boxer who has the chance to face Naoya Inoue first, instead of the expectation of the majority, that it's Casimero who is currently still climbing the 122 division rankings. Of course, Tapales meeting Inoue soon will just happen if the latter will win against Fulton.

If Stephen Fulton wins against Naoya Inoue, Marlon Tapales instead will unify his belt against him. If Fulton still wins, Tapales might meet Inoue as both will be a contender but the status of Casimero when that time comes might still be hanging because he can't even secure a big fight "for now" to somehow give him a chance to climb at a much higher rank.

There's also a possibility that later in the 122 division, a PH vs PH might face each other.

Well then, too early for these speculations mine

. What matter here is, Tapales is now almost secured to have the next big fight on his timeline.

What you're saying is not entirely impossible mate because as long as Casimero will stay active and have successive fights, soon enough, his ranking will surely increase and most probably will earn himself a big fight someday. Although there might be some changes when it comes to the possible opponent of Casimero, Inoue and Tapales because I think Fulton will shuffle all the cards in time when he leaves the division and vacates the belt he is possessing, if he won his future fight with Inoue.

If Fulton will win and Inoue will stay on this current division, the chance of seeing Casimero vs Inoue might take place,
it's possible since the belt will be vacant once Fulton move up.

Though if ever Inoue will win, then the chance to see Tapales to be his next target is possible by knowing Inoue, he wanted
to unify all belts.

Let see what would be the outcome first from this upcoming fight next month.

There are some boxers who are way ahead of Casimero and are much rightful to be named as one of the contenders of the vacated belt, considering that Inoue lost the fight and the belts is now vacated by Fulton. But just like what is happening in other divisions, an Inoue vs Casimero might take place although it's not that guaranteed because of the reason that I've mentioned but Top Rank might select Casimero during the process while it's not that risky for their boxer compared to when Inoue is the champion.

i don't understand why people are shoving the idea that casimero will face inoue that fast, even if inoue will lose to fulton. still a long way to go to face inoue. and if inoue wins, such fight will still be a long journey to make.
casimero though he won his last fight has a lot to prove before his showdown with inoue will finally happen. but casimero can always aim to fight inoue in the future. so long he is serious with every fight he will go to by always keeping up with the division requirements.

Maybe we just want to see them fight, simply as that. And because during the height of Casimero's steamrolling and becoming a champion of WBO at 118 lbs, and we thought that he could be a good match against the Monster and we almost see this fight happening if not for Casimero's weight issues.

And now that Casimero also campaigns at 122 lbs, we are still intrigue with this fight and that's why we are still calling for it. Nevertheless, it might be a difficult road for Casimero as he still needs to make a name for himself at super bantamweight. His fight here although he won, is against unknown fighters. So he needs to fight a rank boxer in order to be recognized again.

Right, so this two scenarios are probably the best one, and if I'm not mistaken, could still be a win win for Inoue. I mean he could stay in this division and clean it up because Fulton will move up. And if Fulton move up and then doesn't want to unify with Tapales then maybe Marlon will have to wait for the title eliminator. And since the belt will be vacated, another opportunity for other boxers to enter the picture and fight for the belt.

Could be a win win for Inoue as obviously it might not take too long for him to have a chance on whoever wins the belt. Great chance as well for Casimero to move up in ranking and maybe figure out a way to be in the title contention. So let's see what scenario will take shape after this fight.

By now the injury must have been dealt already and overtime its already cured. If its not the fist that's broken, it wouldn't be a big deal in the fight. Inoue is not old yet, there is no way he can't get used to the weight after few months.

One more advantage with this fight is that Fulton vs Inoue fight will be held in Japan. He'll do his best to impress his fellow country men to give them an spectacular KO.

On paper, it seems that almost all advantages are pointing towards Naoya Inoue, leaving the current 2-belt champion, Steph Fulton, as the underdog in their upcoming bout.

Personally, I cannot really bring myself to oppose whatever is laid in-front of us now and favor the champion because even if Inoue is just the challenger here in Fulton's division and this is his first fight at 122, it's just real hard to go for the opposite way and bet against the crowd favorite.

It might be hard to think about the possible outcome for now because I also don't want to underestimate Fulton, but in this instance, I will go with the Japanese monster.

It isn't just the crowd but the talent and ability of Inoue speaks for itself. Inoue had a flawless performance in 118 lbs, and 122 is just one division higher, and the time he moves to 122 lbs, he is already having a hard time to catch up with the 118 lbs weight requirement. So the moving up in division of Inoue is believed to be the perfect timing and is due. I also think that there will be no reduction on Inoue's speed and reaction plus his punching power will increase due to added mass which make Inoue more deadly.

That is the reason I think why Fulton is underdog despite of being a champion and good record in this coming fight.

Considering that Inoue's having an issue with reducing his weight means that he will be more comfortable in this division, that will give him
more solid power punch and in terms of quickness, it's not a big deal for him.

122lbs is just a division away from his previous weight, so the adjustment is not that hard, plus the fact that he will be fighting in front of his own
fans, that adds inspirations and by culture we know pride is really important to every Japanese fighter.

Inoue can use that as an additional boost to hype his performance and to win these fights.

Might be easy to say because we are not the ones who are fighting directly against Steph Fulton who have been owning the division for quite some years now but for Inoue, he's not taking it easy because after all, this is not his division and it's not yet guaranteed that he will perform impressively in this division compared to what we saw him while he was still at 118. But you got some points, it's just a 4 pounds heavier compared to bantamweight so I guess he will not be having some troubles in this division.

That is what I think, from the way the Japanese fight, I would say that this category doesn't matter so much right now, I know that the blows will hurt more, that his training must be harder but that he has everything he needs to doing it is a genius boxer for me, Fulton may be the owner and lord of this category, but let's be clear, here in boxing skill + intelligence + strength wins, each one has the technique and they may want to copy some of the techniques of some, but here who uses the strategies well is the one who wins.

If inoue losses against Fulton is ranking will surely goes down, while Casimero's rank goes up, it is an obvious feat that they will meet halfway but the problem lies on the promoter and manager. No matter how close they are in ranking if the promoter is against' the deal of the fight, then we cannot see them fighting.

I read somewhere that Tapales wanted Inoue to win because Inoue's style suits Tapales' boxing style. They said that Tapales will be having a hard time facing Fulton since Fulton does not brawl and often times box his way through the fight.

Well, the important thing is that Inoue can show himself as he really is, for me he is one of the best boxers in the world, no matter what category they put him in, he will always train and stay at the level they need, if they want him to. Segro's story will beat Fulton , on the other hand, Casimero, the fight with Casimero is already making noise and we haven't even seen Inoue debut, so we can't do things like that either, we must wait and see how it Develops, but he won't do future fights It's a good option, least of all not for now , we have to wait to See if the fight will finally take Place with Fulton First.

What you're saying is not entirely impossible mate because as long as Casimero will stay active and have successive fights, soon enough, his ranking will surely increase and most probably will earn himself a big fight someday. Although there might be some changes when it comes to the possible opponent of Casimero, Inoue and Tapales because I think Fulton will shuffle all the cards in time when he leaves the division and vacates the belt he is possessing, if he won his future fight with Inoue.

If Fulton will win and Inoue will stay on this current division, the chance of seeing Casimero vs Inoue might take place,
it's possible since the belt will be vacant once Fulton move up.

Though if ever Inoue will win, then the chance to see Tapales to be his next target is possible by knowing Inoue, he wanted
to unify all belts.

Let see what would be the outcome first from this upcoming fight next month.
