Dasmarina's nickname is Hot and Spicy. If he were facing anyone else but Inoue, I'd have to root for him based solely on that.
Yeah they have to test that eye injury first and it's good to get mandatories out of the way when you're aiming to become a three belt world champ within the year. Hell, he could even make it all four if he wants to squeeze in that Oubaali bout around December next year. March Dasmarinas, July/August Casimero, December Oubaali. Seems doable although a tough ask.
