@bisdak40. Agreed and it would be in a higher weight division where Casimero will not he overweight similar to what he has done in the bantamweight division.
In any case, what is the latest news? Is this fight only postponed or is there a chance of a cancellation? This might give a chance for Casimero to enter the show if he can challenge someone with a high rank in super bantamweight.
For now it seems that the fight is going to be scheduled sometime or until his injury is totally 100% healed.
And as I expected, it's a hand injury that he suffered during the sparring session, and if I'm not mistaken Inoue has history of this kind of injuries. Against Omar Narvaez and we all know that Inoue punches so hard, that's why it's just a matter of time before he broke his hands. Probably the same case with Canelo as well, punching so hard in the mitts, or in the actual fight causing them to have this injury. Might take time though, 3 months maybe before he can go back to sparring again and try that hand?
In the past, many KO artists for their hands destroyed as well. Floyd Mayweather JR. used to be a KO artist as well and then his KO rate dropped heavily as he started to move up in weight. But he did mention that his hands are broken, luckily for him, his got the skills to win thru decisions and a very good defense. Nonito Donaire at one time had swollen hands after his fight with WV2. The skull is one of the hardest bones right?
Yes, Floyd was notoriously known to have brittle hands when he goes up in weight. And if I'm not mistaken, there were some controversies as he got a shot of Lidocaine in his hands which is illegal in some state, but perfectly legal in his home town of Nevada. And what it does is that it numb the hands of Floyd so he can go and continue to fight even with this kind of conditions.
And again, if my memory serves me right, Inoue is using Cleto Reyes gloves, which is the favorite gloves for punchers like him or Manny, it has less padding though, that's why boxers who uses this tend to get injured. So there's also this important aspect of choosing the correct gloves for boxers as it can literally break or make them.
Speaking of Casimero, his past report to Pacman about the mishandling of its MP Promotions president Sean Gibbons might lead to the appointment of a new MP Promotions president. Casimero seriously needs to stay active though as he is not getting younger and he is in a bigger division as well. Just stay active and these sanctioning bodies will rank him higher since he is already a proven fighter, being a 3 division champion to his credit.
There's video of Pacquiao and Donaire talking about the case of Sean Gibbons hehehe.
Not clear though because the audio is not good, but you can hear Manny saying that Sean uses his name
