Sam Goodman had revealed his next fight is in June and will then face Inoue in December leaving Inoue without an opponent for his Wembley appearance in September. This content is protected William Scull will take on Vladimir Shiskin for the vacant belt. It is expected to take place in Germany. Nery will clash with Casimero in September. Great fight
I think a lot of people had no interest seeing Inoue against Goodman. Inoue vs Akhmadaliev makes the most sense. Let's see that fight happen in Wembley.
It was a matter of time before Canelo started vacating titles rather than face meaningless mandatories like Scull. There's bigger fish to fry for Canelo.
He got away with it long enough as he already defended vs 2 guys who didn´t compete in the division. And it seems like his record 4 defenses will not be beaten any time soon.
Nery-Casimero is a good crossroads fight. If not Goodman, and apparently not Casimero, then it has to be MJ next for Inoue.
If Akhmadaliev is next then that's great as that's a better match up. Can't blame Canelo for vacating he gains nothing from fighting Scull, he's bigger than the belts. Nery/Casimero is an interesting fight. Casimero hasn't impressed of late and needs to prove something to earn a possible future shot at Inoue and this fight would ideal for that. If he wins then he's in the mix again.
I really want Casimero to lose badly so that all his fangirls can shut up about Inoue ducking him despite being offered to fight him on 3 separate occasions. I don't really have much against the man himself but I think it's time to put his long career to bed. Would've preferred to see him in against Tapales for an all Filipino super fight though.
Hope it's MJ( not doheny or some bum from the UK) next for The Monster if that's the case and he wins he would beat the top 4 at 122 in his four fights at the weight. Quite impressive. Nery is going to brutalize Casimero and make him look like the bum he is.
