    The sad thing is that Casimero was better than Tapales and Magasayo. But for some reason his career completely dropped off after the Rigondeaux fight, which makes little sense.
    And him missing weight at 122 is just astonishing.

    Casimero is lazy and undescipline.But to be fair he doesn’t have a team behind him like he had at MP promotion.Complete with professional trainer, nutritionist and conditioning coach. Just him and his brother in the province in a make shift gym they built from scratch.

    His time with MP ended in turmoil and he was handled by a crook in Sean Gibbons of knuckle head promotion.Who handles Tapales, Magsayo and sultan.That Team is crawling as of now with a losses.

    You are right Casimero is better and has power like that of Donaire and Pacquiao.But lacks the descipline and work ethic of the legends.

    He balloons in weight between fights and sometimes drinks alcohol and but i think his last 3 fights he was matched up with massive 122 pounders.

    Aguni, Nathuwba and the other fella are big for the weight.Sanchez is more or less the same size as him.But. CASIMERO would have stopped Aguni and the Japanese if they had continued those fights imo.The power is real.

    Its his ****ing cult most of whom are casuals defending his garbage behaviour. Unfortunately he's currently the "best" we have and the last of the old vanguard.

    I hope someone KTFO him soon.

    And just like that Casimero loses. Crazyhow far he’s gone these past 5 years. Feels like yesterday when it seemed like Casimero was seen as a top fighter for a spell. Any hopes for him ever being in the ring with Inoue or any other top fighter has vanished.

    Dude has been a wash for years IMO, hasn't won a meaningful fight since 22, he's also looked fifty for about ten years :lol: Go with god you crazy kid.
