Who wins for possible future unification? Or just too early for the new champ? Casimero Crushes Zolani Tete in Three, Captures WBO Title "All my opponents are good fighters, but me, I'm strong, man!" said a jubilant Casimero. With the victory, there is now a clamoring for the Filipino to face Naoya Inoue, who currently holds the WBA and IBF versions of the bantamweight titles. Inoue defeated Nonito Donaire in a memorable 12-round affair on Nov. 7 to win the World Boxing Super Series 118-pound tournament. The Japanese star is considered one of the very best fighters in the world. But Casimero is undaunted. "Give me Inoue!'' Casimero pleaded. "C'mon Inoue, Monster, come with me!" While many will consider Casimero to be the prohibitive underdog versus Inoue, Sean Gibbons, a representative of Manny Pacquiao Promotions, which handles Casimero, stated: "The style's made for this guy. This guy can punch, you saw what he did, Zolani Tete is a harder fight, a harder guy to hit. "Inoue's made for this guy. I know it, I've seen it."
Inoue will be favoured and with good reason. But you could never count out Casimero. He can beat many of the top dogs at 118
This guy Casimero keeps proving and like the good champions of the Islands before him i will not doubt him. I think he can give Inoue problems and he might even win. Inoue is legit though if he beats Casimero. He is special.
I like Casimero, always have. He should present problems but will lose. If that can happen next I invite it.
Im still struggling to pick up the pieces of information from Inoue's last fight. Did Donaire expose some weaknesses the other bigger top boys at the weight can work with or was it really the clash of styles? Donaire certainly has his own style of fighting without being classed as unconventional.
